"One of the most glorious pieces of music ever written, Handel’s Messiah, has of course the great Hallelujah Chorus: 'The kingdom of this world is become the Kingdom of our LORD and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!' That Hallelujah Chorus, actually the whole presentation of The Messiah, was sung and performed in London in 1843. And when it got to the Hallelujah Chorus, Queen Victoria stood in her seat and took off her crown. My friends, look for rulers who know how to take off their crowns in the presence of the true King of kings – who will say: 'Let Your law be my law.'"
