From January 27, 2016
My editor, Susan, requested this. I couldn’t find it by Johnny Cash, but I think you will all enjoy this version by a French folk singer whom I never heard of–it’s quite a beautiful little piece of gospel music.
Note to Joe Collidge: The duct tape works just fine, you fat-head.
I never heard this gospel song before: very sweet, it caresses the heart: On the Wings of a Dove, sung by Bird Youmans… requested by “Someone.” I do wish WordPress would give commenters’ names, so I could thank them.
I was still eating breakfast when the visiting nurse showed up today, and stayed for almost an hour. So I’m running late.
Anyway, this was the first hymn that came to mind today–In the Name of Jesus (We Have the Victory), an old-fashioned gospel song. Video created by Shiloh Music.
No hymn requests today, and as this was the first one I saw when I went to YouTube, this was the one I chose –after listening to it, never heard it before.
Most of my loved ones have “gone home.” It’s not easy to bear, when you think about it.
May the Holy Spirit keep us fed.
I went to bed last night with this hymn in my mind, so of course I had to post it this morning: Give Me That Old-Time Religion. We are not told who these guys are, but their work is wonderful. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!
I can hardly believe I’d never heard this gospel song before. Requested by SlimJim, sung by George Jones, How Beautiful Heaven Must Be.
Well, the hymn shop’s open and it ain’t crowded… Come on in.
Well, enough of me letting off steam! We have a hymn request from SlimJim–Break Every Chain, by Tasha Cobbs Leonard. Sing it like you mean it, eh? Tasha does.
Our friend SlimJim asked for this one, God Is Good, sung by Regina Belle.
I was once told tfhat our church service, that day, would be in the style of “an old-time camp meeting.” So I innocently shouted “Amen, hallelujah!” as soon as the preacher read a verse–and of course I was the only one in the building to have done that. You could’ve heard a pin drop. Everybody stared at me as if I’d sprouted elephant ears. How I wished I could simply disappear!
Live and learn, I guess…
Today’s selection from the list of Your Favorite Hymns–Just as I Am, by the Voices of Eden Gospel Choir at University of North Carolina.
We’re not going to run out of hymns, so please feel free to request as many as you like.
I’d never heard this old-fashioned gospel song until today–Noah Found Grace in the Eyes of the Lord, sung by a young Burl Ives–whose voice stayed young throughout his long career. One of the Youtube commenters said he loved this song when he was a very young child… although he thought “Grace” was Noah’s wife.
