By Request, ‘He Chose Me’

We have a hymn requested by Erlene: He Chose Me, sung  by Carroll Roberson.

In case you’re new here, I try to post all the hymn requests that I receive from readers.

By Request, ‘Great Is Thy Faithfulness’

We have an anonymous hymn request: Great Is Thy Faithfulness, sung here by the Blue Rock Mennonite Youth Choir. Background sets by God the Father.

By Request, ‘In God’s Green Pastures’

Here’s a hymn to raise the spirit: requested by Phoebe, In God’s Green Pastures, sung by The Voice of Eden.

Sung in India, heard all over the world. Thy Kingdom come, O Lord–thy Kingdom come.

By Request, ‘His Hand in Mine’

We’ve got some hymn requests–huzzah!

First up: His Hand in Mine, sung by Carroll Roberson.

I wish I could take a stroll down that aisle under the green trees. Beauty, in the work of God’s hands.

By Request, ‘The Old Rugged Cross’

This hymn used to make me cry when I was a boy in Sunday school. I guess I wasn’t the only one, because no one made fun of me.

Requested by Phoebe, sung by the Martin Brothers–The Old Rugged Cross.

By Request, ‘Heaven Came Down’

Our friend and brother Eldermike requested this one–a hymn that means a lot to him. Recorded at the Gospel Music Hymn Sing in Texas, a few years ago: Heaven Came Down (And Glory Filled My Soul).

By Request, ‘He Touched Me’

[I have two doctors and a mechanic to see today, and tomorrow chemotherapy begins in earnest… but at least I have a couple of hymn requests to help me along.]

Requested by Thewhiterabbit: He Touched Me, by the Gaither Vocal Band.

I hope yiz enjoys the hymns today. I might not have time for anything else.

By Request, ‘Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus’

I’m stuck for what to write today, but not stuck for a hymn.

Requested by Phoebe: Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus, performed by the Living Stones Quartet.

Maybe if I sit outside, something will come to me.

By Request, ‘Morning Has Broken’

Cat Stevens made this a popular song in the 1970s; but long before that, it was a hymn.

Requested by Thewhiterabbit, sung by the Halton Warehouse Choir–Morning Has Broken. 

It might just stick with you all day.

By Request, ‘Via Dolorosa’

Requested by Erlene: On location in Jerusalem, Sandi Patty sings Via Dolorosa. How much has this street and its surroundings changed since Jesus was there? I can hardly imagine what it must be like to stand there and take it in.
