Even when we falter, His faithfulness remains unchanging.
The album concludes with a song of thanksgiving: We Thank You. For what endures is God’s faithfulness throughout the years, His love that shines through every darkness, and His Son, who gave everything. We sincerely hope that these songs will also be a source of encouragement to you.

Looking Back at Our Summer Concert in Dordrecht

On Saturday, June 6, 2026, we were privileged to experience a special evening in the Grote Kerk in Dordrecht. Under the leadership of Rev. Langeweg, the Scripture readings were woven together, guiding us from the appearance of the risen Lord Jesus to His disciples, through His ascension into heaven, to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

In the Abendlied, we heard the heartfelt longing to remain close to the Lord. We were then reminded of the risen Christ. In Light of the World, we sang of how He opens blind eyes and reveals Himself to those who seek Him: “Now I can see who You are.” At the same time, we reflected once more on the path that led to His glory. In Teach Me, O Lord, to Truly Understand Your Suffering, we were reminded of the love of Christ, who gave Himself to redeem sinners.

Through songs such as The Lord Bless You and Keep You, God Be With You Till We Meet Again, and Worthy Is the Lamb, our eyes were lifted to the exalted Christ, who blesses His people, reigns in glory, and is worthy of all worship.

With Acts 2, we arrived at the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. In He Touched Me, we heard the personal testimony of a life transformed by Christ. This was followed by Lord, I Hear of Showers of Blessing, expressing the heartfelt longing that God’s blessing may not only rest upon others, but also reach each of us personally.

The evening concluded with the rich message of the Gospel. In Rock of Ages, we were reminded that Christ alone is the sure foundation of our salvation. Then, in The Greatest Gift of All, we reflected on what He has obtained for lost sinners: forgiveness, grace, and eternal life.

We look back on this evening with deep gratitude. Together, we sang the words:  “Pass me not, O Shepherd dear!
Cleanse me from all sin, I pray;
Though the streams of blessing flow onward,
Bless others, but bless me as well.
Yes, me too, yes, me too;
Bless others, but bless me as well.”

It is our prayer that the God of all grace will abundantly pour out His blessing upon you, and that these words may also become your own personal prayer:
“Bless others, but bless me as well.”

Reflection on the Easter Concert in The Hague

Last Monday, we were privileged to experience a profound and blessed evening in the Grote Kerk in The Hague, where through word and music we followed the path of the suffering, death, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We began with the prayer “O, Saviour of the World,” which immediately touches the heart of it all: “Lord, save us and help us.” Through the readings and music, we were led step by step along His way. Words from, among others, Psalm 79 laid bare why this path was necessary—not because of what He had done, but because of what we have done. The plea for mercy and forgiveness resounded deeply, setting the direction for the rest of the evening.
In the garden of Gethsemane, surrender was heard: “Your will be done.” At Golgotha, we were brought to a standstill before the wonder of the cross, among others in “On a hill far away,” where the cross—once a sign of guilt and curse—became the most precious treasure.
of guilt and curse—became the most precious treasure.
At the tomb, everything grew still. The music invited us into reflection and quiet contemplation. The realization dawned that He truly went the whole way:
“In a grave, concealed behind a stone,
You gave Yourself, rejected and alone;
Like a rose, trampled and cast aside,
You bore the punishment and thought of me.”
But the grave did not remain closed. With conviction and joy, the resurrection was proclaimed: “Christ the Lord is risen.” Light broke through, death was conquered, and where there had been fear and darkness, there was now hope and life.
The evening culminated in the heart of the Gospel, expressed in 1 Peter 1 and sung in, among others, “The Greatest Gift of All”: what Christ has obtained is given—grace, forgiveness, and new life—for sinners, for people like us.
We look back with gratitude on an evening in which not only music was heard, but in which the Gospel was both visible and audible. An evening of stillness and wonder, of repentance and hope.
A special word of thanks to Bastiaan Stolk for capturing this evening in such beautiful images.

Making an impact together – €13,000 for De Hoop

During our concerts over the past year, we were able to collect together for the work of De Hoop. Thanks to your involvement and generosity, we have been able to transfer an amount of €13,000. A remarkable result, directly contributing to restoration and new perspective.
 
De Hoop supports people with addiction and psychosocial challenges on their way to a new life. Within the development program, clients work on personal growth, education, and work experience. Jan (63) is one of them: “I thought I was no longer able to learn. Now I have successfully completed my training and am already working on the next step in my education.” After years of addiction and relapse, he found a new beginning, with God’s help: “I had to completely change my behavior. I have made a total turnaround. That would never have been possible without God’s help and His blessing.”
 
Today, he dedicates himself to helping others: “I want to pass on His love and use my life to help others who are struggling.” As a result, others receive hope: “If Jan can do it, then maybe I can too!” This touches the very core of what we, as a choir, seek to convey: that hope, faith, and grace are not only heard in music, but also become visible in lives that are renewed.
 
We are grateful that, together with our audience, we could contribute to this. We sincerely thank everyone for their involvement.
 
“He comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” — 2 Corinthians 1:4

Looking Back on the Concert in Amsterdam

Last Saturday, in the Westerkerk in Amsterdam, the prayer that Jesus Himself taught His disciples resounded: the Lord’s Prayer. In word and music, we followed the path of this prayer.
We began with God Himself: Our Father, who art in heaven. Then the prayer directed our gaze to God’s Kingdom. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done. In the reading from Psalm 145, we heard of a Kingdom that encompasses all generations and endures through all ages.
After that, we grew still. In an instrumental moment, the words were present without being sung:
“In the garden of sorrow
He chose Himself to be a Lamb.
Torn by anguish and grief,
yet still He said: Thy will be done.”
From that silence, the prayer continued into daily life. Give us this day our daily bread. Then we were confronted with the plea for forgiveness: Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. In Psalm 79, the confession of sin and guilt was heard, together with the cry for mercy. But it did not end there. In Psalm 103, we heard who the LORD is: compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness.
From that confession and that trust, we sang:
“Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
when the burden of sin presses me down,
let me lean upon Thy faithfulness,
let me rest in Thy shadow,
where the blood shed by Thee
becomes for me the fountain of life.”
The Lord’s Prayer ends with a petition for preservation and perseverance. In the midst of struggle and uncertainty, the assurance sounded that we do not walk alone, but are led and upheld. Therefore Psalm 27 proclaimed: Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD.
We concluded the concert with the hymn Maranatha — a prayer filled with longing and hope. With this song, not only the concert reached its close, but also the future expectation of the church of all ages was voiced: “Jesus, do not delay any longer — come.”
With gratitude, we look back on this evening, in which music and Scripture sounded together as prayer — not only to be listened to, but to be lived, to be prayed, and to entrust ourselves anew to God.
