Blast Off! ‘Days of Elijah’
A hall full of U.S. Marines singing Days of Elijah–turn up the volume, boys and girls! “There’s no God like Jehovah!”

By Request, ‘My Prayer Today’
Here is My Prayer Today, sung by Carroll Roberson, requested by Erlene, whose computer has been fixed. I said I’d post it tomorrow, but why wait?
‘Hymn of Glory’
I know nothing about this Hymn of Glory: only that I happened upon it while looking for a hymn to post today, and liked it very much. It does strike just the right tone, don’t you think?
‘O Worship the King’ (Chris Toml
This hymn, a staple of worship in the church I grew up in, has a complicated history. The lyrics can be traced back to 1561. The music goes back to 1621, and was given a durable form by Johann Haydn early in the 19th century.
I don’t know how many versions of it there are now, but I hope you like this spirited modern adaptation by Chris Tomlin.

I haven’t looked at the “news” yet today. So I have reported the Good News first.
By Request: Chris Tomlin Sings ‘Our God’
I used to hate this kind of worship music. But listen to the lyrics, or read them. And observe the music’s effect on people. How can that be bad? No way! Make a joyful noise unto the Lord (Psalm 100:1), the Bible says. Well, that’s what Chris Tomlin is doing.
Susan, you asked for anything by Chris Tomlin–and you’ve got it.
Everybody out there, see how easy it is to request a hymn?
‘Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone)’
