Worthy is the Lamb, by the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir–see Revelation 5, in which only the Lamb, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Jesus Christ Our Lord, is worthy to open the sealed book.
And He is also worthy of all our love, our trust, our obedience, our fear, and we rejoice in Him Our Redeemer is mighty!
Stuart Townsend and the Stoneleight Worship Band with How Deep the Father’s Love for Us, by reader request–and there go the waterworks. I never heard this beautiful hymn before, and it went to my heart.
“My sin upon His shoulders”–this is the core of our faith. This song has its lyrics deeply embedded in the Scriptures. Read ’em and see!
By reader request, here’s Chris Christian with Praise the Lord.
Take heart, take heart from this lyric: “He can work through those who praise Him.” That means us! He can work through us. Don’t ask me how; it’s enough that He knows how.
Some listeners call this a prayer set to music.
Well, we can use every prayer we can get. You should see the news I don’t post on this blog–although it’s probably a more impressive accomplishment not to see it.
So, by popular demand, here’s Just a Closer Walk With Thee.

It wasn’t easy to find this one, Diane, but here it is: Rise Again, performed by Dallas Holm. I hope it’s the one you wanted.
In this evil age, Christians–sing louder. God will hear us.
Whoops! This was the hymn that Weavingword actually asked for. So here it is, 10,000 Reasons by Matt Redman. So we got Whom Shall I Fear as a bonus.
I’m tired. The high winds of the Global Warming blizzard tore our storm door out of its frame–ripped the screws right out. It’s hard to rip out screws. I couldn’t do it if I tried.
Praise our God from whom all blessings flow.
Okay, this is our first reader request for the day, Whom Shall I Fear. Weavingword, this one’s for you.
And I am running late, late, late… I’ll catch up if I can.
Keep those hymn requests coming, folks.
For Ina in Scotland, here we have Boney M’s rendition of By the Rivers of Babylon.
I am taking requests in the order I receive them (mostly), so again, everybody, be patient, I will get to yours. It’s my pleasure to do so.
This comes from my chess buddy, Jessicafischerqueen–it’s Canadian singer Daniel Lanois performing The Maker.
Why am I posting all this music? I’m not really a music kind of guy.
Well, I’ll tell you–to me, it just feels and looks like our whole civilization’s going down the tubes, getting devoured by the ungodly and the wicked, farther down each day… and what can we do, you and I? What is there to show for our conviction, our reasoning, our rhetoric, our passion, or our works? Nor does our cleverness seem to be getting us anywhere.
We need for God to hear us. We need for Jesus Christ Our Lord to set things right. Let fire out of Heaven consume the false prophets of this age.
And we need to sing louder.
Joyce, you asked for it and here it is: this rendition by Alan Jackson. I’d also like to hear Johnny Cash perform this song, but that I couldn’t find.
There is a lot of Christian music out there, and it doesn’t have to be published in a hymnal for me to post it here. It’s all to do with making a joyful noise unto the Lord.
