イスラエルの賛美のなかにすまわれる主 (詩篇 Psalm 22:3/ 作曲   金  明煥)

이스라엘의 찬송 중에 거하시는 주여 (Ps 22:3/ 김명환 곡/ 소프라노 이경은/ 피아노 이윤정)

Ps 22:3 virtually totally transformed my life, after opening my eyes to see God dwelling in the praises of Israel. It became the main subject of my book on praise theology, and led me to the title of it, that is "Temple of Praise" (only in Korean & Chinese), which alludes to the verse. That book then virtually has been leading the course of my life so far... since last twenty years... Unseen doors became visible, which eventually opened so that an ocean of deeper meaning of praise reveals... One day God even let me write a song with the verse together with 1 John 4:8... the message then overarching OT and NT, revealing who God really is and how we serve him duly. 
All the glory belongs to God! 
 
There is a low voice version of this piece, of which the third song was sung by a contralto Hyung Kyung Han: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl8t2B_TgsQ (in English) / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adv6Q0UEQu4 (in Japanese) 
 
시편 22:3은, 내 눈을 열어 이스라엘의 찬송 중에 거하시는 하나님을 보게 한 후, 나의 삶을 완전히 변화시켰다. 그것은 찬양신학에 관한 내 책의 주제가 되었고 그 말씀을 암시하는 책 제목으로 인도하였다. 그 책은 그리고 지난 20년간 나의 삶을 인도하고 있다고 여겨진다. 보이지 않던 문들이 보이기 시작하고 마침내 그 문들이 열려 더 깊은 찬양의 의미의 바다로 나를 인도했다. 어느날 주님께서는 이 말씀과 요일 4:8 말씀과 함께 만든 가사로 곡을 쓰도록 인도하셨다. 그 메시지는 신약과 구약을 아우르며 하나님이 누구신가 또 우리가 그분을 어떻게 제대로 섬겨야하는가를 보여준다. 모든 영광을 주님께 돌립니다.

O Thou That Inhabitest the Praises of Israel (Psalm 22:3/ Johann Kim) sung by the composer

If you want to really know how King David praised God when he was alone, this video is a must! It will somehow show you how it would have sounded... with his handheld kinnor (ancient Hebrew lyre).

Psalm 69:30-32 'Two Kinds of Joy' sermon by Dr. Johann Kim

At the final day, at the grand finale of the 25th Youth Festival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where thousands of people gathered together to worship and praise God... where the overwhelming power of the presence of God was hovering... we were all so much blessed that we wanted the worship to be continued more, even as more than three hours have already passed...

2012 Brazil Sermon on Ps 67:3 & Heb 13:15 by pastor Johann Kim

July 29, 2012 is the last Sunday at the Vine Street Baptist Church for me who served her as worship pastor since more than six years. It was hard to say good bye to her, not just because of the lengthy period I served, but because of the love they showed to us. 
As I tried to figure out what to say as my final greetings, God gave me the idea of singing a new song according to Acts 20:24, which I did. 
I thank God for the inspiration for this song, hoping that whoever hears this song will be reminded of, filled with, and eventually shaped by this powerful message that pretty much sums up Paul's life.

"Praise Awaits You" (Ps 65:1-4) by Johann Kim

commissioned work for the Alumni reunion of the school of music at the SBTS, premiered by the Oratorio Chorus composed of alumni and faculties on July 12, 2011 at the Alumni Chapel of the SBTS under the direction of the composer. (Though due to the shortage of rehearsal time, some places in the piece are very satisfactory, nevertheless man can appreciate the beauty, power, and most of all, peace of this work.) 
 
This piece is not an anthem in a conventional meaning, rather a dialogue between choir and piano, both of which describe and deliver the message of the psalm by powerful proclaiming or soft whispering, interwoven with one another inextricably. 
 
The original meaning of the verse translated into "Find rest" also includes "Be quiet," that is, "Be attentive to the word of God," which deepens the meaning of this psalm. 
 
In this piece, silence and repitition of tones are as important as loud sound. Though mainly homophonic, it employs polyphonic texture around the center, which was iimplied in the piano introduction, powerfully proclaims our faith in God. Finally short a cappella section leads to the culmination which is abruptly interrupted by piano solo which, while repeating a part of the introduction, gradually dissipates its energy so as to prepare choir for a peaceful and convincing coda.

Find Rest, O My Soul (Ps 62:5,6) for choir by Johann Kim

This song is based on Psalm 69:30,31 which reveals a great secret of the utmost importance of praise ministry that has never been discovered then. Church music composer Johann Kim used the text of a well-known hymn, "All hail the power of Jesus' name," as second stanza of this song, for it is Jesus' name that is given to us as God's name (Jn17:12). The 4th stanza sings of the hope we have in Jesus, pointing to the reunion with our beloved ones in heaven. This is one of three shapenote hymns (Op. 84) written as hommage to Bob Meek whoes life is a great model of shape note singers.
