Dear CCAM Partners and Friends,
Click here to view an excerpt from the CCAMS performance of “Proclamation Drum Dance” filmed at New Jerusalem Church this morning and now posted on YouTube.
On the last beat of the drums, the electricity (and therefore the lights) suddenly went off, as though it had been planned for dramatic effect! What a creative way for God to let us know that He was protecting our performance. Before our next dance, the electricity returned!
In this “live” video, filmed without proper acoustics, the camera microphone was unable to capture all of the nuances of the drums and vocals. To hear a very clear audio recording of the sound track for “Proclamation Drum Dance” performed by the CCAMS drum orchestra and vocalist, click here to access the Voices from the Nations webpage.

SONG LYRICS
Praise the Lord with drums and dancing,
Play skillfully with a shout of joy,
For the Lord Jesus Christ takes pleasure in His people
And comes to inhabit their praises!
Does anyone know how this world came to be?
How this world came to be does anyone know?
By the word of God earth and heaven were made,
And He formed mankind from the dust of the ground.
Let all the world stand in awe of Him,
The One who possesses all the nations.
Praise the Lord with drums and dancing,
Play skillfully with a shout of joy,
For the Lord Jesus Christ takes pleasure in His people
And comes to inhabit their praises!
Does anyone know how mankind will end?
How mankind will end does anyone know?
We see that even the powerful die;
The rich and poor alike will perish;
But God has redeemed the souls of His people
From the power of death through the gift of His Son.
Praise the Lord with drums and dancing,
Play skillfully with a shout of joy,
For the Lord Jesus Christ takes pleasure in His people
And comes to inhabit their praises!
Does anyone know where God’s people will go?
Where God’s people will go does anyone know?
Behold, the eye of the Lord guides those who fear Him,
Those who hope for His salvation,
To deliver their souls from the power of death,
And take them to live in heaven forever.
Praise the Lord with drums and dancing,
Play skillfully with a shout of joy,
For the Lord Jesus Christ takes pleasure in His people
And comes to inhabit their praises!
FINALE:
Hear this, all people on the earth;
Give ear, you inhabitants of the world,
Both low and high,
Rich and poor together.
No man can by any means redeem himself,
Or give to God a ransom for his brother,
For the redemption of his soul is costly,
And he should cease trying forever.
But God so loved the people of the world
That He gave His only begotten Son
That whoever believes on Him
Should not perish but have eternal life.
Praise the Lord with drums and dancing,
Play skillfully with a shout of joy,
For the Lord Jesus Christ takes pleasure in His people
And comes to inhabit their praises!
Scriptures: Psalm 22:3; Psalm 33:3, 6, 18-19; Psalm 49; Psalms 149-150; John 3:16
