“All things were made by him: and without him was not any thing made that was made.” John 1:3

Fanny Crosby: ‘Take the World but Give Me Jesus’
If we posted a different Fanny Crosby hymn here every day, it would take us over 20 years to run out of them. After all, she wrote between 8,000 and 9,000 hymns, depending on who’s counting.
Including this one, Take the World but Give Me Jesus, performed by Hal Leonard and the Shawness Press Church Choral.

‘Take the World but Give Me Jesus’
Erlene didn’t have to twist my arm to get me to post this classic hymn by Fanny Crosby, Take the World but Give Me Jesus. It’s sung by Voice of Praise, and I wish I knew who provided the photographs.
The beauty of nature is an important witness to God’s glory as its creator, sustainer, and redeemer. It can move us emotionally, because our God intended that it should. To separate the natural world from its Creator is folly–and I don’t think “sin” is too strong a word for it.
