I’m not very hip to music, so when Erlene pointed me to Josh Groban, I’d never heard of him, so I went to youtube and found this: You Raise Me Up.
I read the lyrics. I’m not sure that this is a hymn–but it could be. I don’t think God would mind at all if we were to sing this to Him.
At Linda’s request, here’s Chris Christian with Praise the Lord.
When things are going well, praise God.
When they’re not going so well, praise God anyway. (Easy for me to say, hard for me to do; but I hope I know good sense when I hear it.)
Erlene suggested this hymn to start the day, and I hope you all don’t mind if I go again with this rendition by Alan Jackson–not ordinarily my kind of music, but this I like: There’s a Power in the Blood.
This is the hymn I woke up with today, which I sang to myself this morning on my bike–a song to strengthen the soul, and give courage: Our God is an Awesome God, here performed by Michael Smith in concert with the whole audience joining in.
Youtube says “comments have been disabled” for this page. Probably it’s because this video makes atheists gnash their teeth and levitate.
But this is what it makes me think of:
God is sovereign over all of His creation, and everything in it.
The wicked are exalted in this age. They walk and talk and do whatever they please, in great pride and power.
But they are only grown as great and proud as God Himself has permitted, and they will endure not one minute longer than He has ordained.
The day and hour of their destruction is already marked on God’s calendar.
For our God is indeed an awesome God.
Wow, Linda! Thanks for requesting this one. I think we want to turn up the volume on Revelation Song.
But I’m not the only one feels this song. See this comment from the youtube page:
“I’m an Atheist but this song makes me think, ’cause this one tugs something inside me.”
Let’s pray for this guy to come on board and be our brother. The Holy Spirit has stretched out His hand to him.
I just want everybody to know that we do encores here. I’ve posted many hymns more than once, mostly because people ask for them.
So here, requested by Erlene, is Carroll Roberson with Is There a Mountain.
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)
This one’s for Erlene: Great is Thy Faithfulness, a sweet hymn here performed by Chris Rice.
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.
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.
