I haven’t posted this one in a long time; I can’t imagine why.
By the Rivers of Babylon, by Boney M: really, it’s Psalm 137 set to music: the exiled people of Judah mourning for their country.
Let’s pray we give ourselves no occasions to mourn our country.
Here’s one requested by my chess buddy, Ohio Chess Fan: Sweet Beulah Land, sung by Vocal Union.
[We’re back from the afternoon doctor’s appointment: this time they gave me a transfusion. There’ll be another one tomorrow. Sorry I didn’t write up any nooze today: I feel like someone threw me down the stairs.]
Requested by SemperSolaDeoGloria01: Only for a Moment, sung by Danny Gokey.
“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment…” 2Corinthians 4:17
Shout-out to Erlene: this hymn by Carroll Roberson is for you! (I pray you’re all right today.)
His Hand in Mine, by Carroll Roberson: and I wish I could grab a seat on one of those benches in the picture.
This was the first piece of contemporary “Christian music” that really hit home with me–Thy Word Is a Lamp Unto My Feet, sung by Amy Grant. It’s taken from Psalm 119… and I can’t believe I don’t post it more often.
Requested by Thewhiterabbit: Above All, by Michael W. Smith.
I’ve heard that quite a few of you are having trouble with WordPress. Well, so am I, and I don’t know what to do about it. You should’ve seen my viewership stats yesterday. And I had to go to bed early, so I missed a lot.
Requested by “Someone”–for no reason I know of, WordPress is making us all anonymous–Ten Thousand Reasons, by Matt Redman. This is the first time I’ve heard it.
We have our first Easter hymn request of the year, from SemperSolaDeoGloria01: Via Dolorosa, sung by Sandi Patti… in Jerusalem.
And we are open to more hymn requests.
We have a hymn request from Erlene (Welcome back!): Sheltered in the Arms of God, sung by Carroll Roberson.
Looks like it wants to rain today. Well, the grass around here is all brown, it can use some watering.
Debating dyed-in-the-wool atheists can be a thankless job.

Roy Rogers–“king of the cowboys”–and Dale Evans were major stars when I was a little boy. I watched their TV shows. They also cut records, including the one above: Faith, Hope, and Charity (That’s the Way to Live Successfully). Back then, no one called for them to be silenced–not that Roy would’ve listened.
So here’s a little piece of mainstream popular culture, vintage 1950s. It’s as good an answer as any to a Bible-basher.
