I recently received a letter from a friend. This song had been in her head, and she thought of me so she wrote to share the song with me. In the midst of sorrow it is such a blessing to know that God leads us - if we let Him. It is amazing to look …

Jesus Paid It All
Our pastor has been doing a series of messages on the gospel as it is portrayed in the book of Galatians, and specifically that there is nothing we can do to obtain or maintain our salvation. "Jesus Paid It All" expresses this thought well. Jesus has done everything that needs to be done. There is …
The Love of God
This song has such beautiful imagery. When I was researching it I found out that the third verse has a fascinating history. The man who wrote the first two verses tried in vain to think of a third verse. In those days (turn of the 20th Century) songs were not considered complete unless they had …
Where We’ll Never Grow Old
Wow! It's been one of those kind of weeks where it's been a struggle to get anything done - just so busy. So, that explains why it's Thursday, and I'm just now getting around to the hymn that's been in my head the last couple of days. My heart (understandably) often turns to thoughts of …
Tell It Again
The way God directs us is so amazing. I had picked out this song for my children to start learning to sing as a special in church. On Sunday our pastor started a series about personal evangelism. It will take him several weeks to go through this so we have lots of time to learn …
All Your Anxiety
I only recently learned this song. First from a new cd, and then because our song leader chose it so I had to learn to play it. The words are comforting and reassuring. No matter what happens in life, we are not alone. We have a friend in Jesus Who will help to bear our …
To God Be the Glory
Sometimes I'll think of a hymn that I want to share here on the blog, but I don't need it right away so I add it to my "drafts" folder for some day when I'm feeling uninspired. Well, as I was looking at my drafts folder recently I saw this song - To God Be …
He is Lord
I heard my husband sing this chorus numerous times in the past year. When the pain went beyond the power of the medication he would sing this song softly to himself to distract himself from the pain. It was such a testimony to me that even in suffering my husband could still praise the Lord. …
‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus
This song sums up what I feel about trusting Jesus. There is a sweet peace in leaving our life in His hands, trusting His promises, and resting in His faithfulness. So much of my trust these days stems from remembrances of Jesus' faithfulness in the past. He has never failed, and I don't expect He …
Intentional Simplicity
