Guys, Here is the Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified/Pierced for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Egyptian Semitic: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moshe (Moses) wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Egyptian Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"

Lyrics, in case anyone wants to read along while listening- The moon settles in the dusky sky The gentle eyes of the north star rest upon your sleeping face, and the heavens gaze upon you. In this moment, I know; You are not from the ground on which you tread, but of the stars, Of the stars. You are my radiant, my celestial child. You are my radiant, my celestial child. As night is drowned by morning you remain at my side, Accompanying the sunrise until night swells again across the sky. Until night swells again across the sky. Then, dreaming, you return to the stars. Dreaming, you return to the stars. You are my radiant, my celestial child. (Dreaming, you return to the stars) You are my radiant, my celestial child. (Dreaming, you return to the stars)

@@sourkiwiis you say impactful a bunch of times but you didnt even say the effect it left off. Did it inspire you to become a ballet dancer? did it make you decide what you wanted to do in the futuree? not trying to be a dick here im just genuinely curios, because things that are impactful usually leave results or affect you in some ways. You cant say something has impacted you and not say why or how

[@DiggOlive]

Any high schooler who loves to sing, please audition for your district choir. It's a 12 times in a lifetime experience. Don't let it pass you by. One of the most valuable things in your life. You can buy 16 Lamborghinis when you are older but you can never have 16 state choirs.

Morgan Rose what is all state like how do you get in I guess I’ve seen so many videos and they sound amazing and I was wondering how the whole process worked

[@Roseoreh]

@@kennadeedodds7478 wow! sorry this is so late! basically all the juniors and seniors in public high schools in our state have the opportunity to audition. typically if you’re in your high school’s choir, the teacher will bring it up. it’s a pretty standard audition with scales, intervals, sight singing and rhythm. you also have to prepare a solo piece. i picked an opera aria, but you can do any choral/classical piece as long as it’s in its original book source or credits the proper publishing company and composer. you have to score high enough to get in, which involves scoring higher than the majority of your state(for colorado, i think over 5,000 people auditioned and around 300 got in). it’s a lengthy and extremely competitive process, but it’s beautiful and absolutely worth it if you have the chance to do it. i’m very proud to have done it as a choral member and soloist both my junior and senior years!

[@thomespinos4148]

Simply in awe listening to these very talented vocalists!

[@pingopango943]

This is absolutely beautiful, I hope that someday I will have the chance to perform like these students have. Before the virus had shut down my school I was going to be getting into area all state for New york, but unfortunately the program was cancelled.
