"All is Well" from Agnus Dei | Eastminster United Church
Stop calling this victim lazy. I have been deprived of sleep for months. Victim of torture. Mental anguish. On Social Security. Coerced. Don’t remember. Victim of trafficking. Celibate since 2018. God’s prophet. Tried to save the poor and homeless from being turned into sex slaves they call dogs they abuse for needing help. They force them too and the victims don’t remember anything. I’m at Florence House in Portland, Maine. I have degree to be manager. This is sexual sadism being forced to perform oral on my own children. Coerced with magic when unconscious or chemically coerced or hit and tasered. Thank God don’t remember. Upset no one make them leave.
Well done
Simply amazing 🎉
One ofy all time favorite church choirs Beautiful choice of mixes.
This is beautiful 😍
Amazing! I will send this to Holy Trinity Ghana Methodist Church!
Many thanks for this wonderfully moving rendition. My father Frank Kirby, who died recently, was ex Royal Navy and we both sailed thousands of miles together over the years in a variety of yachts. I recently had a wreath laying ceremony at sea for Dad at Berry Head in Devon UK where I read Tennyson's poem just before we all drank a tot of 15 year old Pussers Navy rum to Frank as I always promised him I would. We then played your lovely choral recording of Crossing the Bar over two JBL speakers and it sounded quite beautiful and moving as the wreath floated off to be surrounded by dolphins! Thank you so much Eastminster! Much appreciated Ken Kirby, Northampton UK.
I sang this with a choral group I used to belong to several years ago and loved performing it! So much fun!
Fantastic performance ❤!
Made me cry. So beautiful.
I absolutely love your version of this!! Beautiful job!!
Very, very beautiful
just what I needed today. Thank you.
So refreshing to see a church choir who clearly truly understands the teachings of Jesus. Personally, I fell out of religion long ago, but I'd go for the joy and community at a place like this
We sing these at music festivals
I’m so grateful my UMC church chose inclusion. 🌿
prejudice pushes us away from God.
Any United Methodists here? This has become our new anthem. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I have a very good idea of how I could illustrate these beautiful lyrics into a picture book! I am a visual artist, and have contacted Born This Way Foundation, but never heard back. I have illustrated a whole story with the lyrics in my head.
Lovely!
………..😢
Kudos to Peter&Rani. Well sung & photographed.
Just beautiful 💛
I loved the singing. However, I kept waiting for the people in the inner circle to move back to include everyone in one circle. Would have sent the message more clearly.
AMEN
Galatians 3:28 We are studying Galatians at my church bible study this month! This song would fit! And it fits with In Christ There Is No East Or West and One Bread One Body!
Let this be our song❤
Beautiful Song❤
Love it. Good job.
Dynamics are lovely. Love the way everyone brings the song home in the last verse. Really well sung!❤
A beautiful, poignant hymn. Admirably sung. Thank you.
My childhood church. Danforth united church , became Eastminster United church
You are created in the Image and Likeness of God! This song is so desperately needed now with all the violence in the Holy Land.
So comforting!
Love this!
Beautiful! Brings tears to my eyes! Is this song about a parent reassuring their child when they realize their child is different (gay, transgender, autistic, etc)?
The opening reminds me of We Are All Earthlings by Jeff Moss! Please preform We Are All Earthlings, it is also very beautiful, and goes together so well with Breathe by Michael W Smith! Perhaps combine all three!
I really need to share with the Montreal churches! It is in a dialect of French, it seems! I can understanding it.
The songs of the refugees (former slaves) have the same sorrow and hope as Jewish music! Very therapeutic!
Is the water The Great Lakes?
Or is about Jesus’ mother? Probably ambiguous, as was deliberate with spirituals! Water at the border is Great Lakes to Canada!
Beautiful!
Your church is awesome!
You should share this with the Ghanian Methodist rite! I attend a Ghana Methodist United rite church because it is so close to my house! And they sing gospel, and dance in church! I mean, this is what church is about! Praising Jesus!
This reminds me of Kaddish!
So comforting!
This is beautiful! So calming!
Beautiful too bad you can't hear the choir on Sunday on line.
Y’all did justice to my language 😍🤭
This choir never disappoints. Always a joy to hear!
Thank you!
