I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
Name that song! Guess what? The first line that says "I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing?" We WERE those Jerusalem bells!!! How amazing is that?! This is a pretty legit story, so be excited. We had the opportunity on our free day to join with one of the senior couples here and go to the Carillon and play the bells for ALL of Jerusalem. Three hundred thousand people had no choice but to listen as we sat up there for an hour and played around on the bells! Don't worry, we sounded lovely. We had all differing levels of musical ability, so you didn't necessarily have to be good to try. We each grabbed a partner, sat in a spot to practice and then played for EVERYONE to hear. Intimidating? Not at all :) We had a group of 10 or so that each got to play a few times and my last two songs were primary songs! Liz and I played "Little Purple Pansies" together and the last song was "I am a Child of God." Yes Jerusalem, we lived that song!
