When the Roll is Called Up Yonder

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

I’m playing this song for offertory Sunday, so I thought I’d find a version to share with you.
I think this choir did a beautiful job.
When the trumpet
Of the Lord shall sound,
And time shall be no more,
And the morning breaks,
Eternal, bright and fair:
When the saved of earth
Shall gather over on the other shore,
And the roll is [...]

To God Be The Glory

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

I found this duet while searching for another song on You Tube. I always enjoy playing and singing this hymn.
To God Be The Glory by Fanny Crosby

To God be the glory, great things He hath done,
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the [...]

Merry Christmas

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

Enjoy this beautiful carol today.
I pray each of you will have a Christmas full of the love and peace which only comes from knowing Christ.
In the bleak midwinter, frost wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.
Our God, heaven [...]

Sweet Little Jesus Boy~

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

James and I started learning this for our folksong this month. Well, until the flu derailed mom
Sweet little Jesus boy
They made you be born in a manger
Sweet little holy child
We didn’t know who you were
Didn’t know you’d come to save us Lord
To take our sins away
Our eyes were blind, we could not see
We didn’t know [...]

Almighty Unchangeable God

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

I’ve enjoyed sharing some of my favorite music with you.
I think I first heard this song at my brother’s church. It’s enough to give me goosebumps!
Here is Mac Lynch (one of my favorites!) singing this beautiful song.
(I typed the lyrics while I listened. Hopefully, I didn’t mess them up too badly!)

1. Who spread out the [...]

Favorite Christmas Music?

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

What songs do you like to hear at this time of year?
I pretty  much love all of them. Sacred Christmas carols are at the top of the list though.
I made a list on Amazon with some of my favorite Christmas CD’s last year.
I like Angels We Have Heard on High, Joy to the World, and [...]

There Will Be A Day

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

I drove home last night listening to the radio and this song came on.
I saved some other songs to share, but this one is for today. I shook my head as I listened.
Yes! Someday, no more tears.
Here are the lyrics with my favorite parts bolded.
I try to hold on to this world with everything I [...]

But For Your Grace

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

Ephesians 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
We’ve sung this song at church for the past year or so. I really enjoy this variation.
When they sing, “But for your grace, I would go my way.” I get teary eyed. It’s so true. [...]

He Lifted Me

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Isn’t it a wonderful blessing to know that He lifts us and reclaims us?
This is an old hymn, but here is another lovely version of it. (I really really like Mac Lynch’s voice!)
In loving-kindness Jesus came,
My soul in mercy to reclaim,
And from the depths of sin and shame
Through grace He lifted me.
Refrain:
From sinking sand He [...]

A Wonderful Caregiver~Repost

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Last night, we were watching a show on TV. I don’t even remember if it was a commercial or a show, but a comment was made,
“Too bad there wasn’t a caregiver to take care of the caregivers.”
Immediately, I said, “Yeah! It’s too bad there’s not.”
A very still voice spoke quietly to my heart, “I take [...]
