Consider the church choir that traveled to New York for an appearance on a national television show. The church, proud of its choir, rented an entire floor of a hotel for them and sent the keys and registration information in advance to the director. All they had to do is get to their rooms and rest before the broadcast. When they arrived in the city, they were brought to an extremely fancy hotel and told that their rooms occupied the entire top floor of the 50 story building. Just as they prepared to go up, the elevator broke down. That meant they would have to take the stairs. The director told the choir, all things work to the good and with good spirit they decided to sing as they went up the fifty flights of stairs, each of the 49 choir members would lead a song and the director would sing the last song. As they began they sang, Were marching to Zion. At the 10th floor they sang, We are climbing Jacobs Ladder, at the 30th floor they sang, Were climbing up, the rough side of the mountain, at the 40th floor they sang, I wont complain. When they made it to the 50th floor the choir director began to sing, Nobody knows the trouble I see! The choir members asked why, at the top of the stairs he chose to sing such a sad song instead of a song of victory. The director dropped his head and said, I left all of our keys at the front desk!- The choir members looked him and said in unison, you sang the right song!
