By Request, ‘And Evening Prayer’

It’s not evening yet, but it’s never too early for a prayer.

Requested by Erlene, sung by Carroll Roberson: An Evening Prayer. And let’s send up a few prayers for Erlene, who’s in need of them of late. Well, we all can use them, can’t we?

‘He Hideth My Soul’

It feels like it’s been ages since I posted this hymn: He Hideth My Soul, by Fanny Crosby, sung by the Antrim Mennonite Choir. I can ask the Lord to protect me from the failings of that dadburned catheter.

‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’

We haven’t had this one for a while–Onward, Christian Soldiers performed by students at Fountainview Academy.

I’m going to try to rest today.

‘O, Worship the King’

It’s been a while since I posted this hymn–O Worship the King, sung the old-fashioned way by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band. This was one of the first hymns I learned by play on my harmonica.

By Request, ‘I’ve Got Joy Down in My Heart’

I hope I picked the hymn that Thewhiterabbit had in mind: I’ve Got Joy Down in My Heart, sung by a bunch of kids. Things are pretty confused around here lately, so cut us a break.

By Requests, ‘In God’s Green Pastures’

Let’s be happy today.

Requested by Phoebe: In God’s Green Acres (His Sheep I Am), and sung by Voice of Eden. (I love the sound of that harmonica!)

By Request, ‘I Speak Jesus’

This hymn will inspire you! Requested by Thewhiterabbit, sung by Charity Gayle: I Speak Jesus.

I wonder if that island up there is a real place. Looks like a good spot for Bible-reading.

By Request, ‘Do You Know My Jesus?’

Phoebe asked for this one: Do You Know My Jesus?, sung outdoors by four students at Fountainview Academy.

(Sorry I’m late! This computer FORGOT a lot of things while I was stuck in the hospital for six weeks. It took Patty some time this morning to reinstate our e-mail.)

By Request, ‘Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus’

Requested by Erlene: Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus, sung by Alan Jackson.

We’re holding space for hymn requests tomorrow morning. It’s supposed to snow. We shall see.

‘Shall We Gather at the River?’

So my day started around 4 a.m. with another trip to the emergency room. It turned out they didn’t have to do much, but I didn’t know that when I asked my wife to call an ambulance.

Today’s hymn just popped into my head: Shall We Gather at the River?, sung by students at Fountainview Academy.

I wish we had some of those little waterfalls here.
