Looking over the song list for service tomorrow, this song popped in my head. Happy Saturday night! The New Doxology

Saturday Song: When All Thy Mercies
When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love and praise. Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. When worn with sickness, oft has Thou With health renewed my face;… Continue reading Saturday Song: When All Thy Mercies
Happy Day After Christmas
I heard this song for the first time today. I've been feeling a little down because the "Christmas Season" is over and the Christmas music station on the radio is playing pop again. (Although, I'm still not ready to give up my Pandora Christmas station) So, this song is a wonderful reminder that Joy is… Continue reading Happy Day After Christmas
Saturday Song: Emmanuel
As Christmas morning dawns, may we find our hearts yearning more for Christ than for presents, more focused on God's love than decorating a tree, more hungry after His Word than all the wonderful food on the table before us. How wonderful that the God of the universe should step down in time. The eternal… Continue reading Saturday Song: Emmanuel
Saturday Song: Sweet Hour of Prayer
This week I came across this prayer in the Valley of Vision book of Puritan prayers. O Lord, in prayer I launch far out into the eternal world, and on that broad ocean my soul triumphs over all evils on the shores of mortality. Time, with its gay amusements and cruel disappointments never appears so… Continue reading Saturday Song: Sweet Hour of Prayer
Saturday(ish) Song: Do Everything by Steven Curtis Chapman
Since yesterday got completely away before I even thought about blogging, I'm posting Saturday's song tonight before Sunday gets away. :) Tonight as I was working on lesson plans for this week and getting distracted by different things, like keeping the vegetable soup (this week's make-ahead lunch) from boiling over, I discovered this song (click… Continue reading Saturday(ish) Song: Do Everything by Steven Curtis Chapman
Saturday Song: The Word is Alive
I heard this song -- The Word is Alive -- by Casting Crowns for the first time earlier this week. It is a great reminder that the Word preached is alive and powerful. It doesn't depend on our own power to teach, but on the power of the Holy Spirit. For the word of God… Continue reading Saturday Song: The Word is Alive
Focus on thy Redeemer
I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 41:14 Spurgeon's sermons are some of my favorite things to read (I read them mostly from this site: The Spurgeon Archive). This morning, I read his sermon "Thy Redeemer" based on Isaiah 41:14. Later, as I was doing laundry,… Continue reading Focus on thy Redeemer
Saturday Song: Your Grace Still Amazes Me
Tonight's song is Your Grace Still Amazes Me by Phillips, Craig, Dean. Whatever may come in life, still the child of God can say, "this is my God who saves me; this is the Righteous Judge who chose to show mercy; this is my God who loves me with steadfastness; this is my God who… Continue reading Saturday Song: Your Grace Still Amazes Me
Saturday Song: Safe
This Saturday's song is Safe by Phil Wickham. About every week in Bible study (and recently, in my own readings) we read about the importance of focusing on the One who holds the whole course of history in His hands, and not on the world as we see it. To hope on what is unseen,… Continue reading Saturday Song: Safe
