Music (part 9) - June

 




June - It's busting out all over!

It's the month where spring meets summer.  It's a popular month for weddings.

Flowers are in full bloom. Many young ones are born.

And June is bustin' out all over is the title of the lively Rodgers & Hammerstein’s song in the musical Carousel (1956), as shown below.:



Spring and summer can bring optimism, new birth, new relationships. It's much celebrated.

Flowers appear on the earth
 the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves
    is heard in our land.
Song of Songs 2:12 (NIV)

Yet, any season there are the storms of  life. And one of Carousel's poignant songs, You'll Never Walk Alone is most remembered for the end of the Jerry Lewis telethons.

Singer Sissel does a lovely version of this number:



Weather, stormy or sunny--for those who trust in God, we have this promise:

Never will I leave you; 
never will I forsake you.
Hebrews 13:5 (NIV)

You Will Never Walk Alone!
