Hymn Study: Come Thou Font, Come Thou My King

August 21, 2017 By Annette1 2 Comments

 We sang this song in church yesterday, and I thought it was an interesting way to modernize an older hymn of worship.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  🙂  I was captured by the words in verse two about how I was lost in utter darkness and then, oh then Jesus came and rescued me… Aren’t those great words to remember? 

“Come Thou Fount, Come Thou King – Gateway Worship” Lyrics

VERSE 1

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I’m fixed up- on it
Mount of Thy re- deeming love

VERSE 2

I was lost in utter darkness ’til You came and rescued me
I was bound by all my sin when Your love came and set me free
Now my soul can sing a new song, now my heart has found a home
Now Your grace is always with me
And I’ll never be a- lone

CHORUS

Come, Thou Fount, come, Thou King; Come, Thou precious Prince of Peace
Hear Your bride, to You we sing, come, Thou Fount of our bless- ing
Come, Thou Fount, come, Thou King; Come, Thou precious Prince of Peace
Hear Your bride, to You we sing, come, Thou Fount of our bless- ing

VERSE 3

O, to grace, how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, Lord, take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts a- bove

CHORUS

Hymn: Shout to the Lord

August 7, 2017 By Annette1 2 Comments

 “Shout the Lord” is a praise song we sang in church this morning.   It was kinda fun to sing though I missed the trellos that used to accompany it in the church I learned it in.  🙂  Written by Chris Tomlin, I like much of the music he has put together. 

Chris Tomlin is an American contemporary christian music author. who has put together more than 14 albums of music set to Praise the Lord God. He learned guitar from his dad, and wrote his first song at age 14. 

Lyrics

[Chorus]
Shout to the lord, all the earth
Let us sing
Power and majesty, praise to the king;
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of your name
I sing for joy at the work of your hands
Forever i’ll love you, forever i’ll stand
Nothing compares to the promise i have in you

[Verse]
My jesus, my savior
Lord, there is none like you;
All of my days
I want to praise
The wonders of your mighty love
My comfort, my shelter
Tower of refuge and strength;
Let every breath, all that i am
Never cease to worship you

[Chorus]
Shout to the lord, all the earth
Let us sing
Power and majesty, praise to the king;
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of your name
I sing for joy at the work of your hands
Forever I’ll love you, forever I’ll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you

Hymn Study: How Deep the Father’s Love for Us

August 2, 2017 By Annette1 2 Comments

We sang this song a week or so before vacation.
As always my heart was broken and then raised again.
God’s love for us… sometimes I find it so unfathomable.

Lyrics:

How deep the Father’s love for us,
How vast beyond all measure,
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure.
How great the pain of searing loss –
The Father turns His face away,
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory.
Behold the man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders;
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers.
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished;
His dying breath has brought me life –
I know that it is finished.
I will not boast in anything,
No gifts, no power, no wisdom;
But I will boast in Jesus Christ,
His death and resurrection.
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer;
But this I know with all my heart –
His wounds have paid my ransom.

Life Pleasures 2: Concert

July 23, 2017 By Annette1 2 Comments

Concert

ALMOST every year since we’ve been married hubby and I have gone to the Home County Festival in London.  Always happens right around his birthday.   We took the lad when he was wee young and spent most of the time in the children’s area.  This year we went and the lad pokemon go’d and worked on soapstone carvings.  We hardly saw our lad this year at all.  He enjoyed it so very very much!  But honestly… so did we.  🙂

Home County is a free festival…you pay what you want when you are there if you like, some do, some don’t, but most do.     Bands play, they have workshops where they try to teach you things, and where different groups get together and have fun playing with each other.   

This is the first year I heard someone playing a washboard and it was rather neat!  🙂

This is admittedly not a great video as I used my tablet 
(the lad had my phone) but it was so much fun listening to this group
 I wanted to try to share it with you.  🙂

This year it was a wonderful surprise I got to hear one of my favourite singers!!!   Susan Aglukark did a short 45 minute concert for us!!   IT WAS SO WONDERFUL!!!!   It was WAY too short, I told hubby I’d love to hear her in concert and then he reminded me of ticket prices so well.. that’s not going to happen.  🙂  But I can buy her music and listen on-line and what not so life is good is it not?

She performed this song for us.  I made my hubby grin as I sang along and shuffled around in my chair.  🙂

 I rather despair at this point of getting my lad to enjoy SITTING and listening to music.  He likes some kinds of music well enough…but not to just sit and listen to.. he’d rather be doing stuff and have it on in the background. 

He did make a couple of neat soap stone carvings though which was rather neat to see, but no pics allowed this year.  🙁

Anyways, we heard some wonderful music and well… some that we got up and left with, but 95% of it was great!  The Bombaliers, the washboard folks, Amanda (something) and a celtic group…. and of course Susan Aglukark.  

It was a great Friday evening and Saturday.  We didn’t go on the Sunday because hubby had to preach and it was his birthday…cake and presents filled our afternoon.  🙂

Hymn Study: Take my Life and Let it Be

July 17, 2017 By Annette1 2 Comments

We sang  this lovely song in the church where hubby was preaching this morning.  It was so nice to sing it with an almost full congregation.  Makes the singing so much easier you know?  🙂

The tune sung below is the one I am most comfortable with. 

Lyrics
“Take My Life and Let it Be”
Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise.
Let them flow in endless praise.
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
Take my voice and let me sing,
Always, only for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.
Filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose.
Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose.
Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne.
It shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.
Ever, only, all for Thee.

This hymn was written by Frances Havergal. She was the daughter of a minister and was a devoted christian lady all her life.   Her desire was for people to know the Lord, and loved using her ability to write to create literature and poetry to encourage people’s hearts toward the Lord. She struggled with poor health all her life, but that didn’t stop her from living an active life.  She started writing poetry at age 7, and spent time memorizing scripture – the psalms, most of the New Testament and more. She knew many different languages and was in demand as a soloist and pianist.    Her poetry was infused with prayer.   She died age 42.

This version was quite different but I thought you might enjoy it as I did. 🙂

The immediate story of this particular hymn.

I went for a little visit of five days (to Areley House). There were
ten persons in the house, some unconverted and long prayed for, some
converted, but not rejoicing Christians. He gave me the prayer, Lord, give me all in this house! And He just did.
Before I left the house every one had got a blessing. The last night of
my visit after I had retired, the governess asked me to go to the two
daughters. They were crying, &c.; then and there both of them
trusted and rejoiced; it was nearly midnight. I was too happy to sleep,
and passed most of the night in praise and renewal of my own
consecration; and these little couplets formed themselves, and chimed in
my heart one after another till they finished with Ever, Only, ALL for Thee!

Word and Deed need to Match

July 10, 2017 By Annette1 Leave a Comment

Hello, continuing my study in the Book of Romans. Glad to have you here. Click here for the rest of the series. Today Romans 2:12-29.

12 For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them 16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

The connection of the law to sin is one that sometimes confounds me.   For instance, those of us who follow the Lord God aren’t bound by the law, but that doesn’t mean we can do whatever we want.   We aren’t bound to the law, but those who who obey it, who obey the law, are justified before the Lord God.  

In fact those who obey the law of God without even knowing, show that the law of God is written on the hearts of people.  WOW.  just think about that for a minute eh?  God’s law is written on our hearts already.  He put them there.   This, this is why there is  only excuse for folks to not obey the law.  It’s there, we just make choices to follow it or not.   It’s our bad decision-making that is to blame, not the law.   It is this bad decision-making that brings us before the Judgement of God.

17 But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast in God 18 and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed from the law; 19 and if you are sure that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth— 21 you then who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal? 22 You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who boast in the law dishonor God by breaking the law. 24 For, as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

This section seems to start off well eh?   Folks who know the law and do it, doing what is excellent and right according to the law, Paul has some hard questions for these people.

When you teach others, do you do what you teach?

  • When you teach staying faithful to your spouse,  do you?
  • When you say don’t take things that aren’t yours, do you take your own teaching to heart?
  • If you abhor idols, do you take from the temples?

When you boast in the law and don’t do what you teach, then you bring dishonor to God and his ways.  You cause his name to be blasphemed by the non-believers. If you say God and his ways are important then do so.  Model what you teach!!

This brings to mind how I’m trying to teach my lad to spend time in god’s word daily.  If I ask him to do so and I don’t,  then what am I truly saying?   I want to be honest with him.  To that end we’ll be working on holdING each other accountable, talking about what we are learning at supper time.  This gives us the whole day to get our devotions done.  🙂  and if we don’t get them done, we talk to God about it rather than apologizing to each other.

25 For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. 26 So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? 27 Then he who is physically uncircumcised but keeps the law will condemn you who have the written code and circumcision but break the law. 28 For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. 29 But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.

Take for instance here circumcision.   It’s something that all Jews do.  It’s supposed to be a sign of covenant between God and his chosen people.  But if you don’t live out that covenant,  so,if you as a Jew, don’t live out the law that is already written on your heart, than what point is the circumcision?   Those that obey the law without being circumcised condemn those that are circumcised but don’t act it.  

I found this statement interesting.    “But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter.  His praise is not from man but from God.”   So does that imply that those who follow God truly, who live according to the law written on our hearts, that in essence we are Jewish within?  I know it means we are true believers, true children of God.  I just found the statement curious.   It doesn’t really ,after in the end does it though?  The important thing is, do you live by the Spirit, following what is written on our hearts in both word and deed?

Hymn Study: By Faith

July 10, 2017 By Annette1 2 Comments

We sang this song in church the other day, and it brought back good strong memories for me of a women’s conference I went to where the Getty’s were the musical directors.  I was introduced to this song and just loved it.   Sung by a full congregation it sounds great as praise directed to the living Lord God eh?

Thought I’d share it with you.

This song speaks to of my favourite verse: 1 Peter 2:9-10
 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people
for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him
who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 
Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

How God calls us his own.   

Then we need to walk in that calling don’t we?   Today.. be encouraged to do so.  🙂

Lyrics
By faith, we see the hand of God
In the light of creation’s grand design;
In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness,
Who walk by faith and not by sight.
By faith, our fathers roamed the earth
With the power of His promise in their hearts
Of a holy city built by God’s own hand –
A place where peace and justice reign.
We will stand as children of the promise,
We will fix our eyes on Him, our soul’s reward.
Till the race is finished and the work is done,
We’ll walk by faith and not by sight.
By faith, the prophets saw a day
When the longed-for Messiah would appear
With the power to break the chains of sin and death,
And rise triumphant from the grave.
By faith, the church was called to go
In the power of the Spirit to the lost
To deliver captives and to preach good news,
In every corner of the earth.
By faith, this mountain shall be moved
And the power of the gospel shall prevail,
For we know in Christ all things are possible
For all who call upon His name.
 Stuart Townend , Keith Getty & Kristyn Getty
