Dear CCAM Partners and Friends,
You are invited to view the newest addition to the CCAMS video gallery on YouTube. Click here to view it.
"Called to Be a Priest Forever,” performed at Logos International School in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on May 18, 2013, is an original dance in Khmer creative style. Lyrics, music, and choreography are by CCAMS graduate staff Sophun Ty. This dance is Sophun’s personal testimony of God’s calling him to proclaim the message of the Bible through the arts (especially through new works like this one in Khmer traditional style). Following is the English translation of the song lyrics.
"CALLED TO BE A PRIEST FOREVER"
Khmer Creative Style
1 Peter 2:9
- Praise the Father for sending His Son
To come to earth to save us from sin;
By His death, and resurrection in three days,
His plan was perfectly fulfilled. - Hallelujah! I know for sure
That He saved my soul and freed me from sin;
Now I have hope and a grateful heart,
Offering my life to Him with joy. - So I’ve decided to serve Him
As a faithful priest
Through the five art forms,
Beautiful offerings to please Him forever.
Refrain: He’s calling me, what a beautiful sound,
A sweet invitation, filled with love;
His Word is so gentle as He draws near to me.
Many blessings,
The CCAMS Family
