In the summer of 2000 I worked as a music assistant at Camp Crestridge. It was during that summer the worship team, & the staff, awakened me to the world of contemporary Christian worship music. I've never been the same since. It became my worship music of choice - an amazingly hilarious thing considering my age at the time, & my age now.
One of the songs we did a lot from that summer used these words from Psalm 36.I can still hear the guitars, the sharp joyous sound of the djembe, & singular voices of the worship team & the staff, as they sang this psalm.
I'll be forever grateful for the new worship expression they lovingly drew me into that summer, & in which I've remained as joyously ever since.
Psalm 36
5 Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
your justice like the ocean depths.
You care for people and animals alike, O LORD.
7 How precious is your unfailing love, O God!
All humanity finds shelter
in the shadow of your wings.
8 You feed them from the abundance of your own house,
letting them drink from your river of delights.
9 For you are the fountain of life,
the light by which we see.
