This was the first hymn to come into my hind today: He Hideth My Soul, a classic by Fanny Crosby, published in 1890. Played by Nathan and Lyle and friends, deep in the heart of Texas.

By Request: ‘We Are Not Alone’
Thanks to Phoebe for requesting this: We Are Not Alone, sung by the Voice of Eden. Brought tears to my eyes, it did.
My thanks to all of you who’ve been praying for me.
‘One Wide River to Cross’
I’m sure I don’t know why, but I find a degree of comfort in this song. I’m looking at a wide river now. Will the Lord carry me across? And what will I find on the other side?
Father, if I ever needed faith, I need it now. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
By Request: ‘Our God Is an Awesome God’
“Somebody” requested this classic by Michael W. Smith–Our God Is an Awesome God: backed up by several hundred singers in the audience. It’s been a while since I’ve posted this. Thank you, whoever you are, for requesting it.
By Request: ‘Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise’
At the old Dutch Reformed Church, the church I grew up in, this hymn never failed to get the congregation’s spirits: Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise.”
Requested by “Someone”–and that’s WordPress, not me, making everyone anonymous. Thanks for the hymn, whoever you are.
King Alfred’s War Song
King Alfred’s War Song–it’s been a while since I posted this. Today seems a good day for us.
“For the Lord is our defense: Jesu defend us!” If you know a better prayer than that, I’d like to hear it.
Sung here at the Antioch Baptist Church.
‘In the Sweet By and By’
‘Bringing in the Sheaves’
This was one of my favorite hymns in Sunday school–Bringing in the Sheaves. Actually, I didn’t know what “sheaves” were. Did you have to let them out at night?
Sung here by the Islington Baptist Church.
‘If I had Words…’
I fell asleep this afternoon, I won’t be here tomorrow (at the freakin’ hospital again!) so I thought I’d say so, just so you know I’m probably all right (unless they make me disappear).
Here’s a song you probably know from Babe. Here it’s used as a hymn to celebrate God’s creation of heaven and earth and all things living.
It’s a reminded that can do us good.
‘What a Friend We Have in Jesus’
I can’t keep my eyes dry when I listen to this hymn–What a Friend We Have in Jesus, sung here by Doc Watson. He can’t keep his eyes dry, either.
