And a hymn request from Erlene has come in–I Surrender All, performed by Lifeway Worship. I’d never heard this one before. Well, we’re not going to run out of hymns, are we?

By Request, ‘Way Maker’
Our first hymn request of the day comes from SlimJim–Way Maker, a worship song by Michael W. Smith.
I don’t know if I’ll get around to doing any nooze today.
‘Unclouded Day’
Continuing down the list of Your Favorite Hymns–which needs replenishing, by the way–we have Unclouded Day, sung here by the Conspirare Choir. This is spectacular singing, and I’m sure God loves to hear it.
By Request: Andre Rieu, ‘Nearer My God to Thee’
I’m happy to honor a hymn request from a new reader, Carla, who asked for anything by Andre Rieu. I usually post him around Christmas-time: my aunts always had him on TV.
So here he is with his orchestra, and Nearer My God to Thee–and this rendition of the hymn will move you.
‘This World Is Not My Home’
Here’s one from the list of Your Favorite Hymns–This World Is Not My Home, sung by Jim Reeves.
We’re more than halfway down the list, so now would be a good time to starting loading up the cart again.
One More Hymn, by Request: ‘Praise to the Lord’
This hymn always stirs my soul, and we have to thank Joshua for requesting it–Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, sung here by Daniel Craig.
Gee, I’m starting to feel like a Christian disc jockey. But hymns are ammunition that the Lord has given us, to sling at the devil–and He has made sure that we’ll never run out of it. So keep on slinging!
Bonus Hymn, ‘We Rest on Thee’
I have to welcome a new reader, Swee Eng, with an apology–sorry, but I can’t find the hymn you requested, although my wife and I looked all over Youtube for it. It’s very hard to find a hymn when we’re not given the title. Usually the first line will do the trick, but not this time. If you can give us the title, we’ll try again.
Meanwhile, here’s one it turned out not to be–We Rest on Thee, sung by the Mennonite Hour Singers with beautiful background sets by God the Maker of Heaven and Earth.
And of course you can always request another one.
Your Favorite Hymns (Continued)
I just noticed that we’re now 50 items down the list of Your Favorite Hymns–which I think means it’s time to load up the wagon again. They’re not stopping us from posting hymns yet, and that’s how I like to start each blogging day.
The idea is to post hymns that readers want to hear. This is open to everyone here, even if you’re just a casual passer-by–and you can name as many hymns as you please (because nobody has just one favorite hymn!), and I’ll put them all on the list. And I’ll use ’em all, too.
One of the things we ought to do, as Christians living in an evil and distressing age, is sing louder! It really bugs the living daylights out of the devil, and it’s a good thing for us all to hear.
We’re getting censored here and censored there–but this shop is still open, the bad guys must’ve overlooked it. Walk right in and request a hymn! Or five hymns, if you want. Especially if you haven’t done it before. Yo, everybody, we’re making a statement here! Join the happy throng! Okay, okay, it’s a few thousand bodies short of being an official throng, but we’re working on it.
Keep goin’, Saint Paul–we’re right behind you.
‘There is Power in the Blood’
I love what one of the YouTube commenters said about this hymn: “I want to be so full of Jesus, that when a mosquito bites me, he flies away humming ‘There Is a Power in the Blood’.”
This rendition by Alan Jackson is a bit more lively than some others. I hope you like it.
‘Revive Us Again’
Who doesn’t love Revive Us Again? I’m especially fond of this rendition of it by Nathan and Lyle.
Your Favorite Hymns continues–and whoever you are out there, don’t be afraid to add to the list.
