I don’t know about you, but I could use a hymn, right about now. This hymn, in fact–This Is My Father’s World.
It does not belong to the ungodly. It doesn’t even belong to God’s people. It belongs to the Father who created it, who created us, and who sent his Son into the world to save us from our sins and win for us eternal life.
Sit back and listen.
Jaroc, you asked for this hymn, and I’m only too glad to post it here.
Be Thou My Vision is an ancient Irish hymn, and one of my all-time favorites. It deeply moves me every time I hear it.
I was kind of stuck for what to write about today. Scanning the news each morning can sometimes be a soul-deadening experience. I mean, really–Campus Sex Week? Have we really sunk to this?
But again, good advice for Christians:
Sing louder!
Our God is the God, an awesome God; and He hears us.
Here’s another hymn I never heard before, another high-spirited rendition by the Church of God. That congregation can really sing!
So let’s start our Sunday giving glory to God, and letting Him hear our thanksgiving and praise. Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world!
Remember, I’m taking suggestions for hymns to post on Sunday morning, so if there’s a hymn you’d like to see posted here, please let me know.
Hey, where is everybody today? Hello out there?
Never mind. What do you say we kick off our weekend with a spirited rendition of a classic hymn? “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms”–good advice!
There’s an awful lot of bad news in this fallen world, opposed to the good news of the gospel; but when you see that, there’s really only one thing a Christian can do.
Sing louder!
Be strong and of a good courage; be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.
P.S.–If there’s a hymn you’d like to see posted on this site, please let me know. I’m taking suggestions.
When things look bleak; when the ungodly are riding high and whooping it up; when faith is at its low ebb–
What is the Christian to do?
Sing louder!
Best advice I ever heard, boys and girls. I heard it on this little, 15-minute Christian radio talk show.
Sing louder.
Bringing in the Sheaves is one of those old classic hymns that you can really put your heart into. I would love to hear King Ryons’ army sing it in their dozen different languages.
The guy who sings it here may not be the greatest singer in the world–ask God if He cares about that!–but I’ll bet you’ve never heard this glorious old hymn played on an autoharp. It’s been a long, long time since I’ve even seen a picture of an autoharp.
But enough talking–make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands!
Here’s a hymn you can really belt out–and wit you well, Satan and his servants don’t want to hear it.
Perusing the daily news, it would seem there really isn’t much to rejoice about. But that’s why God has given us the Book of Revelation.
In the end, the Lord will conquer. His victory is certain. In this we rejoice.
