It comes down to this: Do we believe in Him, or not? Do we entrust ourselves to Him, or not?
We each have our own answer to the question. Trust we must, I say. And I can feel it when I hear the hymn–In the Name of Jesus, We Have the Victory.
Demons will have to flee.
Yes, I can feel it.
Yes, I know I’m running late–but this song is worth waiting for: In the Name of Jesus.
I’d also like to request prayers for our friend and brother, Eldermike, who needs an operation for gallstones. He’s been here for us. Let’s all be here for him.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
(Bad news at the physical therapy shop this morning: if I’m not measurably better in four weeks, it’s sayonara, out the door, nice knowin’ ya… Sorry, not ethical for us to treat losing cases… And so forth.)
Well, I can use a hymn, about now. This is the first one I thought of: In the Name of Jesus. Bluegrass version.
Wow! This hymn hit me where I feel it–We’ll Work Till Jesus Comes, sung by Doc Watson. I’d never heard it before just now: brought a tear to my eye.
I don’t know if the picture will come out… a sunlit woodland path… and you might meet saints along the way.
No hymn requests this morning, so I offer this–a bluegrass version of In the Name of Jesus, We Have the Victory, produced by Shiloh Worship Music. Honest, it was the first hymn to pop into my head today.
Requested by Phoebe: In the Name of Jesus We Have the Victory. It’s done bluegrass-style, by an assortment of performers captured on vintage video. Something very cozy about those old films, don’t you think?
No hymn requests today as yet, no likes, no comments–almost feels like CNN. So I’ll have to come up with something…
Here’s one I hadn’t heard before–I Am a Pilgrim, sung by Doc Watson with Jeff Little on the piano. The lyrics bring Hebrews 11 to mind. And as many times as he’s performed these hymns, you can see they haven’t grown stale for him.
