Thankful for Shannon and Precious working together to help *not quite* prepared me get my Real ID!

The close of Enoch’s fourth season
~a sweet evening of worship~

Red Rocks Worship

“All glory and honor, dominion and power, to You
A million angels fall
Face down on the floor
All to echo Holy is the Lord
My heart can’t help but sing
With all of Heaven roar
Forever echo Holy is the Lord…”
