Our friends Bruce and Di made excellent choices when they gave David and I Christmas gifts of cut-out wooden words to decorate our home! David’s was ‘Create’ (because he is a Precisionist artist ). Mine was ‘harmony’ because I sing harmonies – especially in our ladies trio, Until Then, where we used to sing gospel and contemporary for all sorts of occasions.

According to Steve Messer, “Until Then is Elly De Ligt, Millie McLean and Lisa Watson, friends forever but together in song since 2005. Featuring silky harmonies underpinned by Millie’s fluid keyboard stylings, the girls share a unity that is more than merely musical.

Until Then’s repertoire combines songs chosen for their integrity, new ones, old ones and Elly’s originals, but all grounded in the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The girls have seen enough of life to know what’s worth singing about, and so every Until Then appearance is about heart-to-heart sharing of truth you can build a life on.”

But until then my heart will go on singing,

Until then with joy I’ll carry on
