This was the first piece of contemporary “Christian music” that really hit home with me–Thy Word Is a Lamp Unto My Feet, sung by Amy Grant. It’s taken from Psalm 119… and I can’t believe I don’t post it more often.

‘Thy Word Is a Lamp Unto My Feet’
It’s been a while since I posted this: Thy Word Is a Lamp Unto My Feet, sung by Amy Grant. It was the first “modern” hymn I really enjoyed.
The title comes from Psalm 119.
‘Thy Word Is a Lamp Unto My Feet’
(Did God just save our country, last night? By turning Biden into toast? Rejoice!)
This was the first “modern” or “contemporary” hymn I fell in love with–Thy Word Is a Lamp Unto My Feet. This is from a castle in Rumania.
‘Thy Word Is a Lamp Unto My Feet’
(Gee, Lee, you’re kind of late today! Yes, Grasshopper: freakin’ computer being very fractious…)
I’ve finally got a hymn posted–Thy Word Is a Lamp Unto My Feet, by Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith. Yes, I know I posted it not too long ago. With all the stuff going on around here, I’m lucky my pants aren’t on backwards.
‘Most Perfect is the Law of God’
Here’s a new one from Joshua and Jeremy Swanson: Most Perfect Is the Law of God… and we are back in Psalm 119. Click “CC” for the lyrics. If you know your Bible, you’ll find them quite familiar.
I’ve Lost 3,000 Views
Yeah, for this blog, April was a rotter–3,000 views less than I had last April. If I was a business, I’d be out of business. It’s all very discouraging. And there seems to be no remedy. Whatever they’ve done to my search engine ranking has truly clobbered me.
It is an affliction. Maybe not much, as afflictions go; but it’s my affliction, and I tend to take it personally.
But my Bible-reading this morning brought me to Psalm 119 (by far the longest chapter in the Bible: 176 verses); and by the time I was done reading it, I couldn’t wait to get back to work.
If the affliction comes from God, then He has a good reason for it that will ultimately do me good, even if I can’t understand it. When He afflicts us, it’s to deepen our understanding, and to test our faithfulness. And to deepen our strength.
If the affliction comes from some censorship johnny in Big Tech, the Lord will know how to judge it. Eventually the wicked fall into the pits they dig for others. The higher they rise, the farther they fall.
So what do I do? I’ll just keep going, keep on doing my best, and not give in. Let it be in God’s hands. And meanwhile I can post all the hymns I please.
If they’re holding me down, it means one of my fellow servants will be free to rise.
Let’s drive the Enemy crazy with a Whack-a-Mole game he cannot win.
‘Thy Word is a Lamp unto My Feet’
I just love this worship song, loved it ever since the first time I heard it, years ago on the radio–Thy Word is a Lamp unto My Feet, by Amy Grant. Caught myself whistling it again last night, just before bedtime.
I’m sure a lot of you have treasuries of favorite hymns inside your heads. Take one out and pass it around! You know we love to take hymn requests.
Bonus Hymn, ‘Thy Word Is a Lamp Unto My Feet’
This hymn came to me just now, just before supper, and I’m going with it: Thy Word Is a Lamp Unto My Feet, by Amy Grant, inspired by Psalm 119.
Thank you all for your prayers for my sister.
‘Thy Word Is a Lamp unto My Feet’
When I don’t have a hymn request to fulfill, I just go with whatever first pops into my head in the morning: from Psalm 119, Thy Word Is a Lamp unto My Feet. Can’t explain why, but I found the artwork in this version particularly moving. Especially that last image, of the lighted path.
Light our path, O Lord our God.
God’s Word is a Lighthouse
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. –Psalm 119
This hymn, Oh, Sinner Man–a Caribbean spiritual, here transplanted to northern British waters–is a warning. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Repent now, and take Christ’s hand, stretched out for our salvation.
Take a moment to think about this video. Why are there so many lighthouses?
Because they’re needed! These waters are very, very dangerous–tricky currents, barely submerged rocks with sharp teeth, and cold enough to kill you in minutes if you fall in.
God’s Word is a lighthouse. It will keep us from the rocks, it will safely guide our course and bring us home, if we humble ourselves to follow it.
