where are the voices? why the silence?

a classic performance. the lyrics are drawn largely from psalm 40.

“I waited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined and heard my cry.
He lifted me up out of the pit,
out of the miry clay”

my motto

One thing have I asked of the Lord,
    that will I seek after;
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
    all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord,
    and to inquire in his temple.

--psalms 27:4
