‘O Worship the King’ (Chris Toml
This hymn, a staple of worship in the church I grew up in, has a complicated history. The lyrics can be traced back to 1561. The music goes back to 1621, and was given a durable form by Johann Haydn early in the 19th century.
I don’t know how many versions of it there are now, but I hope you like this spirited modern adaptation by Chris Tomlin.
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!
By Request: Chris Tomlin Sings ‘Our God’
I used to hate this kind of worship music. But listen to the lyrics, or read them. And observe the music’s effect on people. How can that be bad? No way! Make a joyful noise unto the Lord (Psalm 100:1), the Bible says. Well, that’s what Chris Tomlin is doing.
Susan, you asked for anything by Chris Tomlin–and you’ve got it.
Everybody out there, see how easy it is to request a hymn?
‘Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone)’
Chris Tomlin has built on the classic hymn, Amazing Grace, adding his composition, My Chains are Gone. They go together well, and the result is beautiful and moving. Thanks to Susan, for requesting it.
By Request: ‘Jesus’
Suggested by Lisa, Jesus, performed by Chris Tomlin.
This morning I rode my bike, did the laundry, put away all the Christmas ornaments and took down the tree, vacuumed–and I am about ready to lie down on the floor and plotz.
‘What Child Is This?’ (Chris Tomlin)
Getting back to the main business at hand–never mind that other news, this is the real news, the good news: Christ is come in the flesh.
This version of What Child Is This?, by Chris Tomlin, sweet and reverential, also includes guitar chord diagrams, so if you want to strum along, and have a guitar handy, you’re in business.
And please do feel free to request any Christmas hymn you want to hear!
‘How Great is Our God’
And let’s start our day with Chris Tomlin doing the Lord’s work, How Great is Our God. If you don’t think God’s Spirit is there, think again.
This poor old world needs a lot more of this, a lot more–and we, God’s people, ought to be providing it. Keep silence no more: proclaim the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ Our Savior and Our King.
Worship Song, ‘Sovereign’
And let’s get the day rolling with Chris Tomlin praising God’s sovereign lordship over all of His creation–Sovereign, by Chris Tomlin.
Win or lose in this election, here is the message which we must proclaim:
We have a greater King than Caesar!
And someday they will know it.
‘O, Worship the King’ (an Unusual Treatment)
Some of you are not going to like this rendition of a classic hymn. Then again, some of you like Chris Tomlin. In any event, give it a chance.
This is O Worship the King performed in a new way. I don’t much go in for new ways, but this is a very powerful rendition of the hymn, and–at least I think so–worthwhile.
I’d kind of like to hear it done with bagpipes, too.
Encore, ‘All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name’
Anybody mind if I post another hymn today? This is one of my all-time favorites–All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name, sung here by Chris Tomlin.
Hey, everybody, the hymn shop’s always open! Only a few of you regularly ask me to post your favorite hymns, and I’d really like to hear from more of you. This is an evil age–and that means we’ve got to sing louder.
