Welcome!  Hymns have been and continue to be a real source of inspiration to me.  My desire in this blog is to share special hymns with my readers hoping that the words will minister to them, especially in times of great personal need.  If one of these hymns ministers to you, please take time to leave a comment so that I know that my blog is helping others as much as it helps me. Sometimes I will also provide a link where you can go to hear the hymn played.  So, please join me here each week and sing along as we praise God together.

NUMBER 500!


          It was October 19, 2008 when I posted my first hymn in this blog.  Appropriately it was "Great Is Thy Faithfulness".  This blog started as a hobby, something to do in my retirement.  But it quickly turned into a ministry, as expressed in the many fine comments that readers have left over the year. Now over 900 folks come to this blog weekly. In fact, last week over 1,100 visited here.
          I can hardly believe it, but this week's post is actually  the 500th post I've made in this blog.  And to mark this fact I've decided to do something different this week and share my three personal favorite worship songs. Unfortunately they each seem to be lost or forgotten in the multitude of new worship songs that today seem to be written weekly.
          The first one shares my desire for this blog, "Glorify Your Name In All The Earth".  Amazingly this blog is now read worldwide, from Spain to the Ukraine, from Russia to Brazil and to many others.

Father, we love You
We worship and adore you
Glorify Your Name in all the earth
Glorify Your Name
Glorify Your Name
Glorify Your Name in all the earth

Jesus, we love You
We worship and adore You
Glorify Your Name in all the earth
Glorify Your Name
Glorify Your Name
Glorify Your Name in all the earth

Spirit, we love You
We worship and adore You
Glorify Your Name in all the earth
Glorify Your Name
Glorify Your Name
Glorify Your Name in all the earth

You can listen to it here.   LISTEN

          The second one shares my personal desire for my life.  It is simply "Praise You, Praise You, Let My Life Praise You."  And that is my daily prayer for my own life as well as for this blog.

Lord I come to you today,
With a simple prayer to pray.
In everything I do,
let my life O Lord praise you.
Praise you, praise you,praise you
let my life, praise you
praise you, praise you, praise you
let my life, O lord praise you

Lord you formed me out of clay,
and for your glory I was made.
Use this vessel as you choose.
Let my life O Lord praise you
Praise you, praise you,praise you
let my life, praise you
praise you, praise you,praise you
let my life, O Lord praise you

Let my life O Lord praise you.

You can listen to it here.   LISTEN

The third speaks for itself.
Down at Your feet, oh Lord
Is the most high place
In Your presence, Lord
I seek Your face, seek Your face

There is no higher calling, no greater honor
Then to bow and kneel before Your throne
I am amazed at Your glory, embraced by Your mercy

Oh Lord, I live to worship You

You can listen to it here.  LISTEN

          If you have been a regular reader of this blog, then thank you.  While I don't know who you are, your stopping by has been an encouragement to me.  Please consider leaving some comments when you visit.  And for those who have just dropped by this week, let me invite you to come here regularly.  Hopefully the great hymns and gospel songs that are shared here will challenge you and encourage you in your Christian walk.  And together we can praise and worship our amazing God.  God is so good, He's so good to me - all the time!  Praise Him!

Congratulations for this great milestone!

I am one of the weekly readers that enjoy your nice presentations of hymns with a message.
It has become like a tradition in my Sunday's mornings: as soon as I wake up, I take my cell phone and come to this blog to read the hymn of the week. After that I feel more awake, I get up from bed and go get myself ready to Sunday School at church. It is a pleasant way of starting my day!

Keep up the good work!
