When in our Music...

This week a very special man went to be with Jesus.  That man was Mr. Brock, my high school choir director.  When I think back over a typical day in high school I think about how choir was my calm in the middle of the storm that was the life of a teenager.  I think that's exactly how Mr. Brock intended it to be.  He loved music, his family, his students, but most importantly he loved the Lord.  That was evident to anyone that came in contact with him.   So many of the songs we sang were songs of praise.  Yes I did go to a public school and yes I heard people question his song choices.  Did he care one bit?  No.  He believed God should be glorified and that was all that mattered to him.   Below is a recording of the 2001-2002 Greenville High School UIL competition (I became a part of this choir the next year).  That year the choir sang an arrangement of "When in Our Music God is Glorified" by Elizabeth Beckham.  This arrangement was specifically written for that choir.  Since that year each Greenville High School choir concert ends with this song and any alumni present are invited to join on stage.  I still get chills thinking about singing this song in the middle of a big choir.  I encourage you to take a moment to listen to it.  I promise you will be blessed.  What a legacy Mr. Brock leaves and may we all live our lives to glorify God the way he did.
