0:00.0	The last five Psalms, Psalm 146 through Psalm 150, each begin the exact same way.
0:13.2	Praise ye the Lord.
0:15.1	As we enter the season of Thanksgiving and praise, Scott is walking us through this crescendo of praise, a study he is calling
0:23.6	the Hallelujah Chorus. In our busy lives, we must make time to praise the Lord not only for what
0:31.0	he's given us, but praise the Lord for who he is. And when our heart is filled with praise, we are ready for worship.
0:40.3	Let's join Scott now for today's study.
0:46.1	George Frederick Handel was a very famous opera writer, a man who was musically gifted, and yet at a certain point in his career,
0:56.2	he hit a low moment, a time when he thought perhaps it was all over for him. And that was
1:01.7	the juncture when a friend who was a committed Christian gave him a collection of scriptures,

1:14.2	A Handel was challenged to put these scriptures to music, and indeed he did.
1:19.3	In fact, in just about 24 days, Handel composed what is now famously known as Handel's Messiah.
1:27.2	It's an amazing, amazing project. And if you listen to it,
1:32.8	it would take you several hours to hear it all. Perhaps you're most familiar with what is known as the
1:37.8	Hallelujah Chorus. They said that after he wrote the Hallelujah Chorus, Handel said, I did think I did see all
1:43.8	heaven before me and the
1:45.4	great God himself. In fact, for about three weeks, Handel never left his home and barely came out of
1:51.8	his room. He was consumed with scripture. He was consumed with God Almighty. And of course, it led
1:59.6	him to say,
2:02.9	Hallelujah, praise the Lord.
2:08.0	For the next several days, we are going to study the original Hallelujah Chorus.
2:10.3	I'm not talking about Handel's Messiah.
