This was the first hymn that came to mind today. At first I was sorely tempted to run it as performed by Robert Mitchum and Lillian Gish in Night of the Hunter; but I decided that wasn’t really where I wanted to be.
And so, instead, Alan Jackson sings Leaning on the Everlasting Arms.
Sorry, folks, I overslept! I did ask the Lord to give me sleep; I guess He did.
Requested by Erlene, sung by Alan Jackson–Leaning on the Everlasting Arms. I need those arms to lean on. Do you?
See? You don’t need a studio and musical instruments to praise the Lord with a hymn. Leaning on the Everlasting Arms, sung by the Gordon Quartet… in someone’s living room.
No hymn requests today, but I found a special treat for us on YouTube–Leaning on the Everlasting Arms, translated into Tamil and sung by The Voice of Eden. We can put our various languages to good use, praising God.
I wanted to post this video again, before it disappears from YouTube (you know how it is)–Leaning on the Everlasting Arms, sung by the Gordon Quartet. Just four human voices: no studio, no amps, no microphones, no musical instruments. Just Jesus. Just faith. Just love.
No hymn requests from readers yet, so I’ll just post one of my favorites–Leaning on the Everlasting Arms, by the Gordon Quartet. No studio, no microphines, just somebody’s living room–how do they do it? No musical instruments, either: just their voices.
Let’s face it, this hymn gets requested a lot. Well, it never fails to move me, and I guess I’m not the only one. And there are so many beautiful renditions of it! Here’s one from The Church of God, sung in high spirits. Leaning on the Everlasting Arms–you can even hear it sung by Robert Mitchum and Lillian Gish in Night of the Hunter.
Another very, very slow day so far. No hymn requests, so I’m on my own.
I’ve always loved this video–Leaning on the Everlasting Arms, by the Gordon Quartet. No microphones, no musical instruments, no studio, nothing but their voices.
And that’s all they need.
No hymn requests this morning. Hardly anybody here.
Well, let’s try this–Leaning on the Everlasting Arms, sung by Alan Jackson. It must be a good one because I wished it were longer.
We have this as a hymn request from Phoebe, Leaning on the Everlasting Arms–and this a capella rendition by the Gordon Quartet is my favorite. How they can manage this in an ordinary living room, without any studio equipment, is a source of wonder. I guess they’re leaning on those arms, too!
