Author Preface
Dear pastoral staff, worship team members and friends of Cedar Music Ministry,
Peace be with you all. May you be filled with God’s abundant grace and ensconced in His fountain of joy. Praise be to God. Since the establishment of Cedar Music Ministry in 2006, God has granted us the opportunity to bring testimony of His unconditional love and grace to various parts of the world; from Argentina to Taiwan, from Malaysia to New Zealand, Australia and to Brazil. This is tangible evidence of God’s work through CMM and our repines to the outpouring of His grace.
In the 5 years that CMM has existed, we’ve faced many trials and difficulties. God comes through and champions for us each and every time! We are blessed that we do not have to fret over the financial health of CMM. It had allowed the ministry to be one minded in it’s pursuit of God’s will for the ministry and to grow more dependent on His guidance. CMM has now grow out of it’s toddler phase and is expanding the ministry to be more global.
The latest body of work from CMM is the cumulation of hard work poured in by music arrangement team work in Taipei and Taiwan Harmony Friends Church. Thanks to their effort, the complicated and tiresome work of music arrangement and recording were accomplished in 3 short months. This body of work is a tangible evidence of what we can accomplish as Christians when we work together for His Glory!
In this new album, there are 10 new songs with differing musical genre; from traditional praise and worship to traditional Chinese, from symphonic to country and jazz, all can be heard in this new collection of songs. The songs are easy to learn and fun to sing. They bring joy to the soul and help prepare the congregation to worship our Lord.
All the songs are inspirations that I had personally received while doing my daily devotion. They are the testament to God’s blessing in my life. Hence, the title, “Make Me A Blessing”. Below, is CMM’s sincere prayer:
Dear Lord, thank you for guiding and building us in the last 5 years. You have shown us that the pursuit of you and serving You are life long commitments. You have built in us strength to overcome this world and have guided us to go into this world to spread your good news. We have opened up doors to the international community, that we may go forth and sow the seeds for you. May we dedicate each song as a loving sacrifice to you. May we share your grace with everyone through this new CD “Make Me A Blessing”. We especially want to thank EFCGA Secretary General Pastor Peter Chen, Evergreen University Prof. Grace Tsyr-En Wu for preface, Dr. Steven Sydney Wu, Dr. Jane Liang, Sydney Music College Chairman Dr. Nelson Po-Yi Wu for English translation& Tammy Liang for score production & revision.
May all glory and honor be unto the omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient God!
