By Request, ‘How Deep the Father’s Love for Us’

Susan asked for this: Fernando Ortega performing How Deep the Father’s Love for Us. It never hurts to be reminded of that! Especially in this insane and evil age.

In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world (John 16:33)

Bonus Hymn, ‘Great is Thy Faithfulness’

This one’s for Erlene: Great is Thy Faithfulness, a sweet hymn here performed by Chris Rice.

By Request, ‘Lay Your Burden Down’

Before I even glance at this day’s evil news, here’s Lay Your Burden Down, sung by Chuck Girard (request by Linda). A lot of people say this song ministers to them. God knows we need all the ministering we can get.

By Request, ‘Sitting at the Feet of Jesus’

I can’t remember who requested this, but whoever it was, thank you–Sitting at the Feet of Jesus, by the Gaither Vocal Band.

Listen to the lyrics: they’re Biblical. “He is all my righteousness.” This is the foundation of our hope, our assurance of salvation.

‘Cause if we had to generate our own righteousness, we’d none of us make it.

By Request, ‘The Name Above All Names’

Hot dog, there’s no such evil news out there today, I don’t know where to begin. Maybe I won’t begin at all.

In the meantime, let us fortify ourselves with worship: the things that dismay and frighten us only make God laugh, before He puffs them away with one breath of His nostrils. The day of the wicked will last not one second longer than He has already ordained.

So here, requested by Erlene, is Chuck Girard with The Name Above All Names.

By Request, ‘Voice of Truth’

You might want to turn up the volume on this one–Voice of Truth, performed by Casting Crowns. Requested by Allison.

Good advice here: listen to, and believe, the voice of truth. Not the voice of this fallen world, but that of God’s word and of His Holy Spirit.

By Request, ‘Tongues of Fire’

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.

By Request, ‘Look for Me at Jesus’ Feet’

Another one from Erlene–Look for Me at Jesus’ Feet, sung by the Booth Brothers.

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!

By Request, ‘Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus’

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.

‘Victory of the Cross’

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.
