God In The Ordinary: Sarah Belcher & Chip Kendall

Do you know the power-packed secret of the melody, Westminster Quarters – or the Westminster Chimes, to give it it’s other name? Perhaps you think you’ve never even heard it before - but you probably have! It’s the chime that rings out from Big Ben, the famous bell that sits in the Elizabeth Tower at the Palace of Westminster. This iconic clock tower is recognised all over the world as a symbol of the city of London - and is also part of our God In The Ordinary logo! The chimes - also known as the Cambridge Quarters or Cambridge Chimes from their place of origin, the Church of St Mary the Great in Cambridge - have been adopted by hundreds of other clocks and clock towers all over the world and resonates with all of us as a well-known bell chime. But what is the secret hidden in the chime that echoes out over towns and cities on the hour, every hour? That tune has lyrics – long-lost words that have been rediscovered! In this edition, our guests, Sarah Belcher and Chip Kendall from the ministry, All Through This Hour, help us discover what those lyrics are; and we learn how this song is a cry for protection and reliance on God for all people. When you hear the lyrics, you’ll be challenged to take up this great proclamation and perhaps even sing it as a prayer over your own community. Once you know, you know! You might even be called into action and Sarah and Chip have a simple yet profound way for you to respond! Don’t miss this inspiring edition as Sharon Tedford unpacks this incredible story.
