In this live‑streamed home worship session, the host (Speaker A) prepares for an Ash Wednesday service by playing and introducing a piano cover of Tommy Walker’s song “Fear of the Lord.” The performance features two vocalists (Speakers B and C) who repeat liturgical refrains that emphasize the biblical theme “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,” interwoven with praises of God’s works and calls to worship. The video is informal – the host mentions technical challenges with his phone and lighting – but maintains a reverent tone appropriate for the Lenten season. The content serves both as a musical offering for the upcoming service and as a devotional reminder of the theological significance of fearing God as the foundation for wisdom, hope, and joy.

Good morning, everyone. Hope you're well. I have just a couple minutes here in my home. I'm running over music, getting ready for our Ash Wednesday service. I know these can be difficult days and just thought I'd sit at the piano a moment and share with you. So that's what I'm doing this morning. So I hope all of you are well. I can't seem to get my phone to be exactly where I want it. Maybe if I put it up here. Yeah, that looks a little better, I think. My first time going live on YouTube, so bear with me today. Nothing super professional. I know I'm not supposed to have lighting in the background and whatnot, but my piano is set up here in the room. I've been working on "Fear of the Lord" by Tommy Walker, and we're using it for our Ash Wednesday service and throughout Lent. And it goes like this, a beautiful song.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, life, hope, meaning, and joy. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. So let us worship. Let us bow down, let us fear our God.
