“Whether I was in my body or out of my body as I wrote it I know not.  God knows.”

 

“I did think I did see all heaven before me, and the great God himself.”

 

“I thought I saw the face of God.”

 

With friends, my wife and I attended a performance of Händel’s complete Messiah tonight.  It was put on by the BYU Baroque Ensemble, the BYU Concert Choir, the BYU Singers, and the English choral group Tenebrae, which also supplied the soloists.

 

Every time I hear Messiah, I’m awestruck.
