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 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
Decoupaging and the Ministry of Music
Today, I tried decoupaging for the first time on my own. I have decided that decoupaging is tricky business. School starts back up on the 28th, so I'm trying to get my summer crafts projects finished. The frame that I used today was originally intended for a chalk board. However, since the weather was about… Continue reading Decoupaging and the Ministry of Music
Saturday Song: Immortal, Invisible
Immortal, invisible, God only wise, In light inaccessible hid from our eyes, Most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, Almighty, victorious, Thy great Name we praise. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might; Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness… Continue reading Saturday Song: Immortal, Invisible
Saturday Song: Your Name Alone Can Save
This past week was my first week of summer vacation, and the first of a series of road trips. Last week came to a total of 16 hours of driving and next week will be about 20. So, I made a 4-disk driving soundtrack. This Saturday's Song, Your Name Alone Can Save, by Sovereign Grace,… Continue reading Saturday Song: Your Name Alone Can Save
Saturday Song: A Debtor to Mercy Alone
(*Note: I highly recommend this version by Sovereign Grace) Augustus Toplady, author of Rock of Ages, wrote several other hymns, including this Saturday's song, A Debtor to Mercy Alone. What a wonderful thing to be a debtor to mercy alone - not in the sense that I could repay, for then grace would cease to… Continue reading Saturday Song: A Debtor to Mercy Alone
Saturday Song: Oh the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, Vast unmeasured, boundless, free! Rolling as a mighty ocean In its fullness over me, Underneath me, all around me, Is the current of Thy love. Leading onward, leading homeward, To my glorious rest above. O the deep, deep love of Jesus, Spread His praise from shore to shore!… Continue reading Saturday Song: Oh the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus
Saturday Song: The Church’s One Foundation
Summer weddings are getting their start today... at least in my circle of friends. Today marks the start of two marriages and celebrates the anniversary of another. Next Saturday marks the beginning of another new marriage. With all this in mind, The Church's One Foundation has playing in my mind. Marriage is a covenant of… Continue reading Saturday Song: The Church’s One Foundation
Saturday Song: Come Thou Fount
Come, thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, mount of thy redeeming love. Here I raise mine Ebenezer; hither by thy help… Continue reading Saturday Song: Come Thou Fount
