Blessed Assurance arr. Wertsch Cynthia Douglas, Soloist Sanctuary Choir Dr. Terry Morris, Director of Music First Methodist Houston, Downtown July 12, 2015
When we get to Glory I'm asking God to let First Methodist of Houston perform this before the King of Kings oh I can't wait. I'm going to ask in about 75 years.
I used to watch this on Sunday mornings. I also feel an undeniable bond to this church. As a former Enron employee, of 19 years, enron employees went to this auditorium many times for meetings, besides Mr. Lay’s memorial service and of course our prayers after 9/11/2001. Enron would file for bankruptcy on 12/3/2001 a bit of foreshadowing. The two are tied together. Amazing, I didn’t realize these were stars but I do know how exceptional the choir, soloists, pianist and organist were.
Cynthia Douglas did a such a wonderful job in her solo performance she was so amazing. Her beautiful sounding voice just blew me away. I really love her performances so much, I would pay good money to see her perform anywhere in the world. Houston's FUMC choir wouldn't be the same without her. Way to go, Cynthia! 👍👏
Excellent job by ALL The choirmaster members and musicians and Cynthia Douglas of course lf l dont hear Cynthia singing at the Pearly Gates methinks lm blessed to hear hear her you go girl choicest blessings

That my friends is WORSHIP! Thrilling arrangement, a genuine coloratura WOW!
Correct, Worship is NOT a bunch of screens that repeat the same words over & over.
So SAD about Jay Whatley's (Organist) passing. May he Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory!!
GOOD JESUS!! That was amazing. To God be the Glory!
This arrangement was dedicated to the Riverside Church in NYC!! So Love this!!!!

Oh, to have a voice like that soloist!! Does she sing with the Houston Grand Opera?
Superb!
Girlfriend….WOW. There are no words. Bravo.
Nice arrangement can one get a copy or a name to find it
Nancy Wertsch arrangement...
Yes
Why doesn't Cynthia sing the consonants at 7:05? Seems like cheating...
My guess would be because it’s not easy to belt a C# on a consonant/“S” sound! 😂🤣
