Agnus Dei

(Not the sunrise mentioned in this post. Doesn’t do the scene justice!)

Last Saturday, I was able to travel to my college alma mater to meet my roommate for breakfast. We don’t get to see one another very often, but when we do, the years and miles disappear. She is, in the words of Anne of Green Gables, a “kindred spirit.”

The stretch of highway I was on is one of my favorites in Oklahoma because it has several twists and turns. As a college student it made me feel something of a race car driver – without the speed, of course! (My dad raced go-carts when I was a child, so it probably reminds me of him.)

The sky was aglow with the sunrise. I was listening to music, and as I rounded the corner, Michael W. Smith’s “Tribute” / “Agnus Dei” from his Glory album was playing. The combination of beauty from nature and the music arrangement nearly took my breath away! Worship ensued as I was able to reflect on the words:

Alleluia!

For the Lord God Almighty reigns!

Holy are You, Lord God Almighty!

Worthy is the Lamb!

Amen.
