MUSIC
INSTRUMENTS
SPECIAL SONGS
We would love to have each group sing a special song.
Practice your specials at home, as there will be very limited time to do a final practice during the conference.
You can let us know what songs you'll be singing (with lyrics) by email at camps@messageyouth.com
​
Bearing in mind that many of you play instruments in your local churches, we cannot have everyone play their instrument during the song services. For harmonic reasons we will play with a fixed instrumental setup where only assigned musicians will play. However you are more than welcome to play your instrument during your group's special.

"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
1 Samuel 17:37
"David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee."
Ephesians 6:10-11
"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."
62-0704 - We Would See Jesus
Rev. William Marrion Branham
God told Joshua, in Joshua 1, “Wherever the soles of your foot treads upon, that I’ve given you for a possession.” So, footprints means “possession.” Some people can just get, just barely get to the—to the edge of the land. Some can take the two-handed Sword and cut their way through Philistines and Amorites till they take the whole thing. That’s what we should do. Every promise is to us. We got a…Footprints is possession. Walk right up and take it! God gave it to us. It’s a promise and it’s the Truth, and it’s for us.

62-0701 - To Take On The Whole Armor Of God
Rev. William Marrion Branham
and He told Joshua, in Joshua 1, He said, “Wherever the soles of your foot treads upon, that I have given you.” So footprints means possession. See, just keep walking, walking, pressing on. And every time you make a step into the Kingdom of God, that’s yours, just on…And all things are possible that’s given, and all things are given is possible. But it’s a battle.
