Erlene asked for this one, so here it is–Tongues of Fire, performed by Chuck Girard.
Do we not hunger and thirst for communion with the Holy Spirit? Especially in this evil age.
O Lord Our Father, do as thou has said! Pour out thy spirit upon all flesh–and let the Mountain of the Lord arise.
Another one from Erlene–Look for Me at Jesus’ Feet, sung by the Booth Brothers.
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!
Sweet and gentle, soothing to the soul–Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus, performed by Alan Jackson. Thank you, Erlene, for suggesting it.
The rest of you–well, hey, the hymn shop’s always open. See your favorite hymns posted here: all you have to do is ask.
Sing it loud and sing it long! This is Jonathan Lewis with Victory of the Cross.
Take it out from behind the pews and into the street, fight for the Cross of Jesus Christ–remembering at all times that our weapons are spiritual, not carnal, for pulling down the strongholds of the Enemy.
Generally I don’t go in for guitars and keyboards and drums; but this performance of How Great Is Our God, by Chris Tomlin, makes me want to dance in the aisles–and I don’t know how to dance, and I don’t have any aisles handy. Anyhow, you might want to turn up the volume on this one and do a little jumping around yourself. Thanks so much for the request, Linda! Just what I need this morning.
Now it’s off to the nursing home to see my aunt. The unedifying news of the day will just have to wait till I get back.
I’m a little early today because I’ve got a lot to do–but first a worship song, nominated by Erlene: A Moment of Time, performed by Carroll Roberson.
I decided not to wait for tomorrow, after all, to post this worship song. There might be somebody out there who needs it. Like me.
So, at Linda’s request, here is Grace by Michael W. Smith.
Think about this. We are blind to God; but Jesus Christ gave sight to the blind. We are deaf to God’s word; but Jesus made the deaf to hear.
He still does these things. Just ask.
We can thank Erlene for suggesting this rip-snorter of a joyful noise unto the Lord–Days of Elijah, sung by Paul Wilbur with backup by, I think, everybody.
I also love the way these lyrics tie together the Old and New Testaments, the prophets and the Revelation, Moses and the Church–as indeed they should be tied, because the Bible is a unity. I know Christians who think the Old Testament doesn’t count. They couldn’t be more wrong.
Yow, the newsy news is just terrible this morning; but then again, it always is. If you want good news, turn to God–and He will turn to you.
Erlene, here’s the worship song you requested–Come Holy Spirit, sung by Bryan Duncan.
