By Request, ‘Up from the Grave He Arose’

“Thewhiterabbit” asked for this one–Up from the Grave He Arose, sung by the Voice of Eden. It’s one of my favorites, brings back fond memories of Sunday school and family get-togethers on Easter Sunday. Not to mention it’s the best news this poor fallen world has ever heard…

‘Up from the Grave He Arose’

This has become one of my favorite Easter hymns–Up from the Grave He Arose, sung by the Voice of Eden–our brothers in Christ by way of south India. It was fun to sing this in Sunday school. It’s inspiring to hear it now.

‘Burdens Are Lifted at Calvary’

We don’t yet have any hymn requests today, so… the first one to pop into my head–

Burdens Are Lifted at Calvary, by The Voice of Eden.

We thank you, Lord, for our brothers and sisters in Christ who live in other countries, all over the world. Help us all to carry out the Great Commission. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

By Request, ‘We Are Not Alone’

I have to thank Phoebe for requesting this–We Are Not Alone, sung by the Voice of Eden, our brothers and sisters in India.

As dark as things are, these days, what with the ungodly running wild and the wicked trying to set up global government…  Well, we are not alone, our God is with us!

And somehow I think of that invincible Assyrian army that invaded Judah in the days of Hezekia: “…And behold, they were all dead corpses.” Amen.

‘Gethsemane’ (Voice of Eden)

Have any of you heard this hymn before? I find there’s something hauntingly familiar about it.

Gethsemane, sung by Voice of Eden–Christ’s sufferings began in the garden of Gethsemane.

Encore, ‘We Are Not Alone’

I’m not doing well today. Last night I was clobbered with an allergy attack and it’s still tormenting me. And my leg still hurts, etc.

Phoebe thought it might well do me good to hear this hymn again–We Are Not Alone, by Voice of Eden. Now this hymn will be in my head for a while–of course it does me good, and thank you, Phoebe.

Anytime you can find Christians singing under a banyan tree, you know the Great Commission is alive and well.

By Request, ‘In God’s Green Pastures’

Requested by Phoebe–In God’s Green Pastures, by the Voice of Eden, coming to us from southern India.

I really like the addition of the harmonica!

By Request, ‘Jesus, Keep Me Near Thy Cross’

Not only is this a beautiful hymn, beautifully performed–but how can we not rejoice when we see our Christian family growing in India, China, all throughout the world? The shepherd is calling His sheep; and they know His voice.

Requested by Phoebe–Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross, sung by the Voice of Eden… in southern India. Brothers and sisters to us all.

‘We Are Not Alone’

Just this morning I found this new Voice of Eden video–We Are Not Alone, a new composition by Pepper Choplin. So the choir assembles under the banyan tree and sings it.

Meanwhile, the hymn contest is still on, you could win an autographed book or an original T-shirt–and I can’t explain why the leading hymn has only 21 views. Anyone can enter, and so many of you have never requested a hymn–why be bashful?

Bonus Hymn, ‘Up from the Grave He Arose’

This hymn has been in my head all afternoon, which makes me think I ought to post it: I want to hear it again. And maybe some of you do, too–Up From the Grave He Arose, by the Voice of Eden.
