I absolutely love this song. There is so much meaning in the words. I can just bask in this song. The music is gorgeous and majestic too. It gives me peace, encouragement, comfort, hope every time I listen to it. My hope is that it will bless you too. Charles Wesley's hymns are so rich …

Whatever it Takes
This Sunday my sister sang in church. I wasn't there sadly. That's the one thing I miss the most about being away from my sisters. We used to sing in church together a lot. Anyway, her daughter taped it, and my sister posted it on Facebook. I had forgotten about this song, but once I listened …
Like a River Glorious
This is another favourite hymn of mine. I love the words - so comforting. And the harmony is beautiful. I find this a very relaxing song to play. "Like a River Glorious" was written by Frances R. Havergal. Miss Havergal was only in her early 40's when she died, but she left us a beautiful …
Each Step I Take
Yesterday morning I was getting ready for church and wanted to listen to some hymns. I did a search on YouTube and found a playlist with beautiful hymns. The hymn, "Each Step I Take", came up and I was reminded how much I love this song. It's so comforting to know that I can trust …
Our Great Saviour
This past Sunday morning my husband was a guest preacher at a church in our area. It was so nice to listen to someone else play the piano and to sing with the congregation. Not only that but also about three of the songs chosen were favourites of mine. The first one was "Our Great …
So Send I You
I don't get to play the piano as often as I would like to, but one day last week I had a few minutes between lunch and nap time so I sat down at the piano. I love to just open up the hymnbook and just start playing whatever hymn catches my eye. Sometimes I …
Someone Is Praying for You
Recently I was talking to a dear friend. She's going through a hard time right now. It was heartbreaking to listen to her. She's feeling abandoned and hopeless. So, I said the best thing I could think of - I'm praying for you. We've all been there. The pain is so bad, and we're so …
God Makes No Mistakes
Our family was recently involved in a wedding. One of the duets was "God Makes No Mistakes". As I was the piano accompaniment for this I went through the song many times and the words are so good. (The other song was "To Have and To Hold". I was so glad I didn't have to …
How Great Thou Art
Recently I was reminded of the song - "How Great Thou Art". I love it. The imagery is clear and the music majestic. It always lifts my spirits when I hear it. The third and fourth verses are my favourites. Verse 3 humbles me, and verse 4 makes me imagine how wonderful Heaven will be …
Trusting Like a Baby
The other day I woke up with this song going through my head... Anywhere With Jesus Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go, Anywhere He leads me in this world below; Anywhere without Him dearest joys would fade; Anywhere with Jesus I am not afraid. Refrain: Anywhere, anywhere! Fear I cannot know; Anywhere with Jesus …
