By Request, ‘The Lighthouse’

Requested by Erlene: The Lighthouse, by John Starnes.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the light of the world. Only He can keep us off the rocks.

By Request, ‘The Lighthouse’

I get a fair number of requests for this one. Today’s comes from Erlene–for The Lighthouse, by John Starnes.

I’ve been to the top of Barnegat Light–fantastic view from up there–but of course they shut the museum and turn on the light at night-time, and that’s when visitors are not allowed. I wonder how far out to sea its light shines.

The light of Jesus Christ has to shine around the world.

By Request, ‘The Lighthouse’

We have a hymn request from Erlene: The Lighthouse, sung by John Starnes.

Jesus Christ is our lighthouse… and our Lord.

By Request, ‘The Lighthouse’

Erlene asked for this one, The Lighthouse, by John Starnes. Jesus Christ is our lighthouse. He also rescues us when we get shipwrecked.

The hymn shop is now open.

Before we take a nosedive into the nooze, let’s take another hymn request: The Lighthouse, by John Starnes, requested by Erlene.

Christ is the light of the world.

By Request, ‘Midnight Cry’

Well, let’s see if we can brighten up the corner where we are–with this hymn requested by Erlene, Midnight Cry by John Starnes.

I believe that God can fix this mess, and that He will let us enter into His labors. We have to listen for His voice.

By Request, ‘When He Was on the Cross’

Requested by Erlene: When He Was on the Cross, by John Starnes.

People in the First Century were used to seeing horrific punishments, like crucifixion, carried out in public. We are not–and God be thanked for that. Speaking for myself, the cross is not an easy thing to think about. Nor should it be. O Lord our God, draw us to Jesus. Amen.

Erlene asked to hear this again–The Lighthouse, by John Starnes. God knows we all need a lighthouse; and the good news is, we’ve got one, complete with lifeboat crews, emergency medical teams, and rehab service: Our Lord Jesus Christ.

By Request, ‘He Looked Beyond My Faults and Saw My Need’

Erlene requested this: He Looked Beyond My Faults and Saw My Need.

If you’re new to this blog, let me tell you we take hymn requests, all you have to do is ask (use “Leave a Reply”). And some of you have been here for ages and never asked once–so come on, now.

‘When He Was on the Cross, I Was on His Mind’–Plus Prayer Request

When He Was on the Cross, I was on His Mind, by John Starnes: this one’s for Erlene, who suggested it yesterday, and for Phoebe. These two members of our fellowship have been suffering with illness this week, and they need our prayers. Some of you have already started praying for them. Let’s all join in.

O Lord Our God, in the name of our most perfect healer, Jesus Christ your Son, two of our fellowship are down and we ask you, in Jesus’ name, to raise them back up: for we know that you can do all things. Please, Father, restore these our sisters to good health: in Jesus’ name, Amen.
