Encore, Encore! ‘Revive Us Again’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

I know I’ve posted this before, but I need it today. And boy, if there ever was an age in which wholesale Christian revival was needed, it’s this one.

One of my chess buddies has suggested to me that I’d be healthier and happier if I stopped covering certain kinds of news stories, although he would miss reading them. He has a point there. But I feel it’s my duty to sound the alarm–and if no one’s listening, well, God won’t blame me for that.

Anyhow, here’s a hymn to give the soul a nice, vigorous rinsing.

You wouldn’t believe some of the stories I don’t cover.

By Request, ‘Just a Closer Walk With Thee’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Some listeners call this a prayer set to music.

Well, we can use every prayer we can get. You should see the news I don’t post on this blog–although it’s probably a more impressive accomplishment not to see it.

So, by popular demand, here’s Just a Closer Walk With Thee.

Reader Request, ‘All to Jesus I Surrender’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

We can surrender all to Jesus because He is worthy.

It’s not like surrendering to any worldly power. What you give them, you never get back. But what we give to Christ becomes more truly ours than it has ever been before.

As Steve Brown says, “You think about that!”

Hymn, ‘The Love of God’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Some hymn requests came in overnight, and I will get to them, never fear. But let’s start off the day with The Love of God, with Nate and Lyle and some of their family and friends.

Is this great, or what?

Because if anything is going to carry us through this evil age, it’s God’s love.

By Request, ‘Rise Again’

It

It wasn’t easy to find this one, Diane, but here it is: Rise Again, performed by Dallas Holm. I hope it’s the one you wanted.

In this evil age, Christians–sing louder. God will hear us.

The Right Song, ‘10,000 Reasons’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Whoops! This was the hymn that Weavingword actually asked for. So here it is, 10,000 Reasons by Matt Redman. So we got Whom Shall I Fear as a bonus.

I’m tired. The high winds of the Global Warming blizzard tore our storm door out of its frame–ripped the screws right out. It’s hard to rip out screws. I couldn’t do it if I tried.

Praise our God from whom all blessings flow.

Reader Request, ‘Whom Shall I Fear’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

 

Okay, this is our first reader request for the day, Whom Shall I Fear. Weavingword, this one’s for you.

And I am running late, late, late… I’ll catch up if I can.

Keep those hymn requests coming, folks.

Reader Request: Boney M, ‘By the Rivers of Babylon’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

For Ina in Scotland, here we have Boney M’s rendition of By the Rivers of Babylon.

I am taking requests in the order I receive them (mostly), so again, everybody, be patient, I will get to yours. It’s my pleasure to do so.

By Request, ‘This Is the Day that the Lord Hath Made’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

You asked for it, Joyce, so here it is: This is the Day that the Lord Hath Made. Sorry it took so long, but I’ve got a backlog–which is a good thing.

Everybody out there, if you’ve requested a hymn, I will get to it, never fear. I have yet to turn down a request, so don’t be shy.

We sing like we pray–so God can hear us.

I Hope God’s Listening: ‘The Maker’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

This comes from my chess buddy, Jessicafischerqueen–it’s Canadian singer Daniel Lanois performing The Maker.

Why am I posting all this music? I’m not really a music kind of guy.

Well, I’ll tell you–to me, it just feels and looks like our whole civilization’s going down the tubes, getting devoured by the ungodly and the wicked, farther down each day… and what can we do, you and I? What is there to show for our conviction, our reasoning, our rhetoric, our passion, or our works? Nor does our cleverness seem to be getting us anywhere.

We need for God to hear us. We need for Jesus Christ Our Lord to set things right. Let fire out of Heaven consume the false prophets of this age.

And we need to sing louder.
