By Request, ‘Let the Words of My Mouth’

I just remember I have to write Newswithviews today! But first a hymn, requested by Joshua–Let the Words of My Mouth, by Fernando Ortega: from Psalm 19:14 and Phillipians 4:8. Background sets by God the Father. Thank you, Joshua: this is good for us.

By Request, ‘Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted’

This is another hymn you don’t want to miss–Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted. Requested by SlimJim, sung by Fernando Ortega. Scripture per Isaiah, Peter, and Paul.

We do well to remember by whom we are saved, and how He had to do it.

‘This Is My Father’s World’

I thought we needed this today: …And let me ne’er forget/ That tho’ the wrong seems oft so strong,/ God is the ruler yet. And He can see what a hash we’ve made of things.

This Is My Father’s World, sung by Fernando Ortega; with background sets by God the Father.

By Request, ‘What Child Is This’ (Fernando Ortega)

We had to go to six different stores this morning, stocking up for Christmas Week, and I’m afraid it wore me out and frazzled my nerves. But I’m back now, we got everything we needed–and this hymn, requested by Joshua, was just the ticket! Thank you, Joshua–I’m sure I’m not the only one who will love this.

What Child Is This, sung by Fernando Ortega… Thanks, we needed that.

By Request, ‘Jesus Paid It All’

(If you knew what I had to go through, with this computer, to get this beautiful, soul-nourishing, serenity-producing hymn posted here–!)

We have a hymn request from Joshua: Jesus Paid It All, by Fernando Ortega. If you’re unfamiliar with Christianity, pay attention to the lyrics; they’ll tell you much of what you need to know.

‘This Is My Father’s World’

I loved this hymn in Sunday school, but I love it even more now. Enough beauty has been paved and bulldozed out of my environment to make me appreciate God’s work. This Is My Father’s World (“And tho’ the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet”), sung by Fernando Ortega.

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

Boy, was my soul ready for this!

Requested by Susan, My Worth Is Not in What I Own, by Fernando Ortega with Keith and Kristyn Getty. Feel free to play it more than once!

Yeah, this is more of that gospel foolishness that Real Smart People laugh at.

But we know the foolishness of God is wiser than men–by a long shot.

By Request, ‘Great Is Thy Faithfulness’

Hymn request by Joshua, contributing to our sabbath rest (God knows we need it!)–Great Is Thy Faithfulness, by Fernando Ortega. Background sets by God the Father.

‘Be Thou My Vision’

This one’s for Joshua–favorite hymn, favorite artist–Be Thou My Vision, sung by Fernando Ortega. Haven’t heard from him or Jeremy for two weeks now. I pray they’re all right.

This hymn was first sung before anyone had ever heard of Charlemagne, and it’s still very popular today.
