"The New Young Messiah" is a modern, contemporary arrangement of Handel's Messiah, written in the 18th century and covers the story of Christ's birth, life, death, and resurrection.

A rich and varied production, this thread features a host of Christian artists singing songs in their own individual styles.

"Comfort Ye My People" - Wayne Watson.

A rendition of Scripture songs as composed by Handel but modified and updated to the 21st century:

"Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD's hand double for all her sins. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it."

-- Isaiah 40:1-5

It is obviously a joke of my friend Olaa.
If this were true, there would be more prophets in Nigeria that people ...
just think ... how sad must be the life of those who believe in such frauds, which appear like mushrooms after a storm ... and soon they are discovered is fraud, lies, adultery ...
Long, Africa?
Awake!

"Comfort Ye My People!" - Wayne Watson.
