This version of Am I a Soldier of the Cross?, sung by Doris Johnson, was the No. 1 Gospel hit in February, 2016. I wonder what Isaac Watts would have thought of that? He wrote and published this hymn in 1724.
This is the hymn that’s on my mind this morning. If you have one that you’d like to see posted here, just let me know.
I have lived in Metuchen, NJ, all my life. I have been married to my wife Patricia since 1977. I am a former newspaper editor and reporter. I was also the owner-operator of my own small business for several years. I wrote various novels and short stories published during 1980s and 1990s. I am a long-time student of judo and Japanese swordsmanship (kenjutsu). I also play chess, basketball, and military and sports simulations.

I don’t recall ever hearing this song before, but it asks a valid question; one we all should ponder.

This hymn has been around a long time. A couple of lines from it are quoted in “Tom Sawyer.”
