Little Saxophonist
A few days ago it was our 50th anniversary and in this spirit were numerous exhibitions of talents and lots more. We had people from the drama group, choirs, etc doing one or two things.
And on one of those days, came this little saxophonist.
This night was termed varieties night. People from all walks of life came doing what they know how best to do and this little girl wasn't an exception, in fact, she left people in total awe and some wondering when the little girl started her training to be able to handle the sax.
Although she was not so bold at the start, you could tell from the way she blew the sax that she wasn't confident at the beginning but when she gained her ground, she did it better.
She played about four different songs, but I think I only captured about three.
Among the songs were; Great Is Thy Faithfulness and The Old Rugged Cross
I will share a few lines of lyrics to the songs.
Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Song by Carrie Underwood
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me
The Old Rugged Cross
Song by Alan Jackson
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross (rugged cross)
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
These are a few lines from the songs played by the girl.
It was such a delightful thing to watch this young one playing. Although she still has a lot to learn and a long way to go, it's wonderful seeing little children have a passion for music. I believe this little one future will be bright with this vision in mind.
I hope you enjoy her piece as well.

Hi @zellypearl
It is nice when musicians can contribute to big events, like anniversaries (though I didn't catch what was the 50th anniversary of).
Don't forget, if you share the lyrics, they would need to be properly sourced, with the link to the page from where you have copied them. Thanks
Yeah...50th Anniversary of Christian Fellowship Evangelical Ministry.
Sorry I missed that.
Oh, I totally forgot since I browsed the lyrics, I will get it from where I searched for it, thanks for reminding
👍 :)
