I admit the editing has its flaws.
It is submitted as a devotional piece that I hope will lead someone to faith in Christ.

The seventh-day Sabbath is like a nail that - Thwack! - with unbroken regularity returns us each week to the foundation of all that we are or could be. We are so busy, running to and fro, spending money, making money, going here, going there, going everywhere, and then - Thwack! - Sabbath comes and reattaches us to our foundation, the starting point of everything that follows, because everything that is anything to us becomes that only because God created it and us to begin with.
With unceasing regularity, and with no exceptions, the Sabbath silently hurls over the horizon and into every crack and cranny of our lives. It reminds us that every crack and cranny belongs to our Maker, the One who put us here, the One who “in the beginning” created the heavens and the earth, an act that remains the irrefutable foundation of all Christian belief and of which the seventh-day Sabbath - Thwack! - is the irrefutable, unobtrusive, and unyielding sign. This week we look at this sign in the context of the Sinai covenant.

PSALM 127:3 New King James Version (NKJV) - The Fruit of the Womb is a Reward - MUSIC You Still my Heart Lord.
Previously uploaded without music as "PSALM 127:3 (NKJV) - The Fruit of the Womb is a Reward" (3rd April 2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n5q6Zh48gk
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.
127 Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To eat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.

Why this re-upload in 2023?
I noticed the sound was lower than other songs by the group Marturoumen, and have attempted to increase the volume. That's all.
Here's the first upload (which I'll probably delete once I've compared)
"It's you must choose - Marturoumen with flutist Priscilla & Hanne and Joann - Rise with the Son 1974" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIOYyh8QRGA
Featuring the song duo Joann Kristensen & Hanne Berntsen (Danish 'English -Language students' at Newbold College Binfield Berkshire U.K.)
and of course on flute, Priscilla McGoldrick.
CHOICE from the 1974 LP “Rise with the Son”
Written and narrated by Chris Harle
Verse 1: It’s you must choose
you win or lose
In life you deserve and want the best,
but cannot find rest.
Verse 2: The path of peace,
lies deep within (I question the theology there),
but blocking the way and holding sway,
lies each man’s own sin.
Narration: While we are necessitated to choose,
the choice itself is free.
When the full and deliberate choice is made,
the heart is given.
If God is to be served, it must be by free choice.
Other service would do Him no honour,
other rejection would involve no guilt.
Therefore do I call upon you to choose this day,
whom you will serve.
I call upon you to choose the God in whom
you live and move and have your being,
the God who made you and redeemed you,
and would sanctify you.
Verse 3: Choose you this day,
whom you will serve.
He offers a life of peace and rest,
do you want the best?
On the 21st June 2021, Pastor Vincent Goddard (of Marturoumen fame) re-released songs from the 1975 LP "We Bear Witness".
He also plans to re-release songs from the 1974 LP "Rise with the Son".
This upload uses the original song from the 1974 LP without the Digital Corrections that will come when those songs are re-released (they haven't been yet, 19th October 2023).

Hebrews ◦ Chapter 10
1 The script (also known as "the Law of Moses") was only a shadow–a stage play, a symbolic acting out–of the wonderful joys, blessings, health and happiness that are coming; it was not reality itself. This is why the law–the symbolic system–can never, by the repeated rituals year after year, perfectly heal and restore those who practice its rites.
2 If animal sacrifices could somehow actually heal and restore the worshiper to Godlikeness of character, then would not the sacrifices ceased to be offered, for everyone would have been healed, and there would have been no more sickness of heart or mind to remove?
3 Instead, the animal sacrifices were annual reminders of our sick and dying condition,
4 as it is impossible for the death of bulls and goats to heal our hearts and minds and restore us to Christlikeness.
5 Therefore, when Christ himself came into the world, he said: "You never desired sacrifices and offerings, but you prepared a body for me;
6 burnt offerings and sin offerings are not what your heart longed for.
7 Then I said, 'Here I am–I am the one written about in the Scriptures–I have come to fulfill your will of love, to reveal your true character, and to expose the lies of Satan, O God.'"
8 First he said, "You did not desire sacrifices and offerings; burnt offerings and sin offerings were not what your heart longed for" (although they were exactly what the script directed to be done).
9 Then he said, "Here I am; I have come to fulfill your will of love, to reveal the truth about your character, and to expose the lies of Satan." He set aside the stage play, the symbolism, the shadowy drama, and revealed the reality–the truth.
10 And by that truth, we have been won back to trust and subsequently healed in hearts and minds and made Christlike in character. All this was made possible by one single event — the loving self-sacrifice of Jesus Christ whereby he overcame selfishness with love.
11 Day after day earthly priests stand and act out their part in the religious drama; again and again they re-enact the same lesson, offering the same sacrifices which can never actually transform the heart or heal the mind.
12 But Jesus Christ voluntarily sacrificed himself once, and that one sacrifice was sufficient to achieve Remedy for sin. And having achieved the Remedy, he resumed his place at God’s right hand.
13 Now he waits for the Day when even his enemies will bow before him,
14 because by his one self-sacrifice he actually transforms and perfectly heals those who are being made holy.
15 The Holy Spirit also confirms that his sacrifice was for the purpose of healing and transforming us. First he says:
16 "This is the healing plan I will make anew with mankind after that time, declares the

Matthew chapter 6 verses 9-13 King James Version
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
