‘I Need Thee Every Hour’

My mother used to sing this hymn as she went about her housework; and so did her mother, before her. Oh, it brings them back to me!

I Need Thee Every Hour, sung here by Fernando Ortega. Excuse me while I dry my eyes.

By Request, ‘My Worth Is Not in What I Own’

Requested by Joshua: MyWorth Is Not in What I Own, performed by Keith and Kristyn Getty, with Fernando Ortega, with sets by God the Creator.

We’re open all day to hymn requests–so let’s have some.

‘I Need Thee Every Hour’

This hymn has never meant more to me than it does now: I Need Thee Every Hour, sung here by Fernando Ortega. (My mother and my grandma used to sing it, too.)

Yes, I need Jesus! We all need you, Lord. Especially when things go very wrong. I didn’t know what was going to happen to me in that hospital yesterday. Somehow I feel I was lucky to get out in one piece last night.

O Christ my shield and helmet! We are your people, the sheep of your hand… and we need our shepherd.

P.S.–Yes, I still want to post Christmas hymns this weekend. Requests, anyone?

‘I Need Thee Every Hour’

My mother used to sing this as she did her housework. So did my aunts. I guess they got it from Grandma. How this hymn brings them all back to me! I Need Thee Every Hour, sung by Fernando Ortega.

‘I Need Thee Every Hour’

This is another hymn my mother and my aunts used to sing as they went about their housework: I Need Thee Every Hour, sung by Fernando Ortega.

Lord, need thee every hour and that’s no lie!

‘This Is My Father’s World’

I love this rendition by Fernando Ortega–This Is My Father’s World, one of my favorites from Sunday school days. And how I wish I could spend some time in some of these places! Maybe a lot of time.

‘This Is My Father’s World’

We know God through the work of His hands, the beauties of nature–all of His creation, all under His care.

A Sunday school favorite: This Is My Father’s World, sung by Fernando Ortega. Background sets by God the Father.

‘This Is My Father’s World’

We certainly should find that the beauty of God’s handiwork stirs our souls.

This Is My Father’s World, sung by Fernando Ortega.

“Tho’ the wrong seems oft so strong,

God is the ruler yet.”

‘This Is My Father’s World’

No hymn requests today so far, so it’s up to me to get the day started.

This has always been one of my favorite hymns–This Is My Father’s World. This rendition by Fernando Ortega is very nicely illustrated.

‘This Is My Father’s World’

(Yes, Lee, you made a good pick today. Now hurry up and post it.)

When God finished His work of creation, He looked it over and knew it was good, very good.
