By Request, ‘He Is My Defense’

Requested by Erlene, He Is My Defense, sung  in English and Hebrew by Marty Goetz.

(Back from the doctor, back from the supermarket, raining buckets–and now my blood pressure’s too low, so some adjustments must be made. Meanwhile, I’m late.)

By Request, ‘Ana Adonai’

Requested by Erlene, Psalm 118 set to music (“Give thanks unto the LORD for He is good…”), performed by Marty Goetz: Ana Adonai.  Filmed in Israel.

By Request, ‘I AM’

Let’s have a hymn.

Requested by Erlene, I AM, by Marty Goetz–an adaptation of Psalm 46, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble…” Yeah, I think that’s what I need. Thank you for the request, Erlene: it comes at just the right time.

By Request, ‘Whoever Is Thirsty’

This is the “living water” that Our Lord Jesus Christ offered to the woman of Samaria who found Him at the well.

Requested by Erlene, performed by Marty Goetz–Whoever Is Thirsty.

And that’s all of us, isn’t it?

By Request, ‘Hope of Glory’

I sort of burned myself out on those last two essays, so let’s relax with a hymn.

Requested by Erlene: Hope of Glory, performed by Marty Goetz.

By the way, we’re always open to hymn requests.

By Request, ‘He Is My Defense’

(No more nooze today, unless I really have to.)

Here’s another hymn requested by Erlene: He Is My Defense, sung by Marty Goetz, adapted from Psalm 62.

And now I think it’s time to rest.

By Request, ‘Prince of Peace’

Requested by Erlene–Prince of Peace, by Marty Goetz. The scripture that feeds this worship song is Isaiah 9:6-7 (“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given…”). Gee, we could have used this as a Christmas hymn, couldn’t we?
