Field Trip to Chris Tomlin Concert (April 7, 2018)

[정하상성당]

St. Paul Vocation Ministry and St. Paul Chong Hasang Church Orchestra had attended Chris Tomlin 

Concert on April 7, 2018.

It was called Worship Night in America 2018 Tour starting Christian Singer Chris Tomlin along with

Kim Walker Smith of Jesus Culture, Matt Maher, Christine D’Clario, Tauren Wells, and Pat Barrett.

The entire stadium was filled with thousands and thousands of people from all walks of faith who came

together to praise our Lord, Jesus. 

It started with brief clip of Billy Graham’s sermon and intro music started with his song called “Your Grace is Enough”.  All the people in their seats stood up and started clapping to the beats!!!!

During the mid part of the concert, he introduced his home pastor who preached about 7 different 

definitions of the word ‘praise’ in the bible.

1. HALLAL is a primary Hebrew root word for praise. Our word “hallelujah” comes from this base word. 

It means “to be clear, to praise, to shine, to boast, show, to rave, celebrate, to be clamorously foolish.”

2. YADAH is a verb with a root meaning, “the extended hand, to throw out the hand, therefore to worship with extended hand, to lift the hands.” According to the Lexicon, the opposite meaning is “to bemoan, the wringing of the hands.” 

3. TOWDAH comes from the same principle root word as yadah, but is used more specifically. Towdah 

literally means, “an extension of the hand in adoration, avowal, or acceptance.” By way of application, it is apparent in the Psalms and elsewhere that it is used for thanking God for “things not yet received” as well as things already at hand. 

4. SHABACH  means, “to shout, to address in a loud tone, to command, to triumph.” 

5. BARAK means “to kneel down, to bless God as an act of adoration, to salute.” 

6. ZAMAR means “to pluck the strings of an instrument, to sing, to praise; a musical word which is largely involved with joyful expressions of music with musical instruments. 

7. TEHILLAH is derived from the word halal and means “the singing of halals, to sing or to laud; perceived to involve music, especially singing; hymns of the Spirit or praise.”     – excerpt from Aglow International

Some of the songs sung were Resurrection Power, Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone) Chris Tomlin,

                                            Lord I need you, sung and played piano by Matt Maher, 

                                            Good Good Father, written and sung by Pat Barrett, 

                                            When We Pray, sung and played piano by Tauren Wells, 

                                            In the River, sung by Kim Walker -Smith, 

                                            Como Dijiste, sung in Spanish by Christine D’Clario.

“It is powerful when all streams of the church come together in an act of unity to worship and pray…that’s the heart behind 2018′s ‘WNIA Tour.’ It’s a picture of God’s kingdom together, and the sound of thousands and thousands of voices pouring out His praise,” says Tomlin in one of his interviews.

    Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!   – Psalm 150:6
