I Need Thee Every Hour
This song has been going through my mind a lot lately so I thought I would share it with you. I think I first heard this when I was a teenager at special evangelistic meetings in our church. I have a book - Hymns of Our Faith - that I sometimes look up the hymn …
He Will Pilot Me
Tomorrow is the date we've been waiting for - it seems like a long time - but in reality is only about a month. Tomorrow is the day my husband will have his kidney removed. It is also when we will find out if the cancer has been kept contained in the kidney or moved …
Praise Him, Praise Him
I found myself singing this song last week while working in the kitchen. This is another beautiful song written by Fanny J. Crosby. I don't think there are many songs that have so much joy packed into them. When you sing it, you feel a little of what the joy in Heaven must be like. …

He Hideth My Soul
Yesterday when I arrived at church I arrived feeling pretty low in spirit. No real reason for it just one of those things. Anyway, the first song we sang was this one - He Hideth My Soul. It was like a balm for my spirits. Everyone can see my face as I play the piano, …
