In His Presence

A huge auditorium. A band playing its heart out. A mosh pit. Hundreds of youth (and some brave adults) jumping, singing, and screaming at the top of their lungs.

One would think that what I just described is a scene at a rock concert. But, no, it wasn't. You see, the band was actually a worship team. The screaming "audience" was a congregation. The "mosh pit" was full of kids shouting with worship - not for the musicians, but for the One worth worshipping. They weren't rocking out to a new hit, but dancing with the joy of the Lord.

We're gonna be a dancing generation, Dancing because of Your great glory, Lord...
We're gonna be a shouting generation, Shouting because of Your great mercy, Lord...

Dancing for God. Shouting for God. Young people wearing shirts that said "I WOULD DIE TONIGHT FOR MY BELIEFS." Excitement about our faith.

And this all took place at the In His Presence worship conference at Vineyard Christian Fellowship in Anaheim.

Forget about walking on air... I'm dancin'!!
