Somewhere at some time I must have heard this song because some of the words sound familiar. I found it today, and it was such a blessing to me. I had a hard day last week, and I was laying in bed trying to go to sleep and crying. I started to tell God everything …
I know I've been missing for a couple of months. I'll catch everyone up on our family sometime this week. There's good news and sad news, but through it all God has been good. The Bible says that the goodness of God leads us to repentance - Romans 2:4. The goodness of God also leads …
This song has been going through my head since yesterday. I love the first two lines - "glorious message," "simple faith," "Jesus is the same." I can't tell you how much I'm clinging to this message - Jesus is the same. I've read so many Christian biographies. I've read of amazing things God has done …
I was recently reminded of this song. It asks such a good question. "Who am I?" When you meditate on the fact that the God of the Universe allowed His perfect, sinless Son to come to the earth, live as a man, and die a torturous death for people who didn't even love Him it …

My uncle sent me this song recently, and it was an encouragement as the lyrics have been going through my head a lot the last few days. I have always enjoyed Because He Lives. There is so much hope and truth in this song. It's so true that Jesus is the reason we are able …
Philip P. Bliss, one of the more prolific hymn writers of the 1800's, wrote so many of the hymns that are now well-loved the world over. Some of his songs are: Almost Persuaded, Dare to be a Daniel, Hallelujah! What a Saviour!, Hold the Fort, Jesus Loves Even Me, Whosoever Will, and Wonderful Words of …
Another favourite song of mine, the 11th century hymn - Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee. Beautiful lyrics and beautiful music. Perhaps the beauty of the words comes from the fact that this was written long before the distractions of our modern day. A time when people had/took more time to meditate. There is nothing …
My dad sent me an email this week about the hymn "O God, Our Help". It jogged my memory of this beautiful hymn. A majestic hymn with a stately message. Written in the early 1700's this hymn actually has a message and lifts our hearts and souls to God unlike much of the triviality that …
