Wow! Suddenly I’m rich in hymn requests! I think the best I can do, for now, is to post two of them and save the rest for tomorrow.
First, requested by Tessa–and very probably our most often-requested hymn–In Christ Alone, by Keith and Kristyn Getty.
I will always try to fulfill all hymn requests, and please don’t be discouraged if I’m late.

I’m sorry to report no hymn requests today so far, no entries into our ongoing hymn contest. Well, these things always slow up after the initial excitement.
A few of you wind up requesting the most hymns–by far the most. I was hoping more of you would join the party! That’s not to discourage readers who make a lot of hymn requests: it’s to encourage you who never make any.
And now we’ve got another thunderstorm looming, and if I want a cigar I’d better go out and have it now.
It’s perfectly okay to make hymn requests while I’m not here!
Important P.S.! I want to showcase posts from other Christian blogs–because, in this climate of growing censorship, I think we must support each other. If you’re a Christian blogger who’d like to see your work displayed here from time to time, please just let me know! There’s no charge for it.
I’ve been awfully busy today, and I almost forgot this hymn request from Erlene–I Asked the Lord, by Carroll Roberson. Well, better late than never!
By the way, none of the hymns in our hymn contest so far has gotten as much as 20 views in one day. Let’s do better than that! Maybe tomorrow…
SlimJim requested this–I’m Going Free by Vertical Worship. It’s wild, it’s a blast, and it’s come along just when we need it.
If the bad guys could see more of us doing more of us, maybe they’d be the ones who are losing heart!
This request from Erlene slipped through the cracks at first, but here it is now–It’s Beginning to Rain, sung by the Bill Gaither Trio.
Our hymn contest has really slowed down in its first few days, and it’s not the fault of the trusty readers who so often request hymns. But some of you never do.
Hymns glorify God… so let’s do this!
Erlene requested this yesterday–Days of Elijah, sung by a mess hall-full of United States Marines. Sorry it slipped through the cracks.
The Marines in this video are seven years older now. We pray their faith is seven years’ stronger, seven years’ deeper. The whole human race will need it!
Nooze leaves a nasty aftertaste; so I’m glad we’ve got a hymn contest going, and a hymn request from Erlene–He Is Here, by the Gaither Group with Wes Hampton as the soloist.
The hymn contest has only a month to run, so get in while you can!
Requested by SlimJim (and I’m still not sure I’ve got it right)–Amazing Grace, embedded i a “Fight Song,” performed by The Piano Guys–Scottish castle and all.
As for the hymn contest–well, come on, let’s hear from some of you who never say a word! I know, I know, it’s a pattern you see all the time, everywhere: 10 percent of the readers make 90 percent of the hymn requests. It’ll take more than this to change human nature…
They were just playing this hymn yesterday on the bells of St. Francis, across the street from me; and now we have it as a hymn request from Erlene–Praise to the Lord the Almighty, performed by Don Moen.
Let’s make our hymn contest fly!
I’m glad we had this hymn request from Susan–yes, it’s already time for a hymn break.
This is Hymn of Heaven, by Phil Wickham.
And please remember that we have a hymn contest going, and you can enter as often as you like–the more, the merrier. Our hymns glorify God and help us keep our sanity!
