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.

By Request, ‘This Train’

Wow! “This train is bound for glory…” I haven’t heard this spiritual since I was a boy at Y camp.

Requested by Thewhiterabbit: This Train, sung by Big Bill Broonzy.

‘Bringing in the Sheaves’

Singing this in Sunday school as a boy, I kept wondering what a “sheave” was.

Here’s Bringing in the Sheaves, all confusion erased, by Shiloh Worship Music. The antique, sepia-tinted video adds to its charm.

‘A Mighty Fortress’

Are those the walls of Avila? Makes you wonder what they were so afraid of.

Our mighty fortress is our God. I don’t know who’s singing in this video: but let all Creation sing.

The devil and his idiot servants hate to hear it.

By Request, ‘Majesty’

Let’s have a hymn to start the day.

Requested by Erlene: Majesty, by the Gaither Group, Bill & Gloria Gaither.

We’re open to hymn requests all day.

‘Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee’

Let’s have a hymn!

Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee–sung here by Hymns of Grace–comes from Beethoven’s 9th Symphony.
