I thought I'd share this since I love music. Another friend has been doing this fave, thing so I thought I'd chime in.
For today: Hymns and Modern Praise songs
My absolute favorite hymn (actually, I have many) is God of Grace and God of Glory. I love how it sounds and the words are amazing! I discovered this beauty when we first got our hymnals and were flipping through trying to find a hymn for the month. It seems so relevant to the day we live in.

God of grace and God of glory
On Thy people pour Thy power
Crown Thine ancient church's story
Bring her bud to glorious flower
Grant us wisdom
Grant us courage
For the facing of this hour
For the facing of this hour
Lo! the hosts of evil round us
Scorn Thy Christ, assail His ways!
Fears and doubts too long have bound us,
Free our hearts to work and praise
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage
For the living of these days
For the living of these days
Cure Thy children's warring madness
Bend our pride to Thy control.
Shame our wanton, selfish gladness
Rich in things and poor in soul
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
Lest we miss Thy kingdom's goal,
Lest we miss Thy kingdom's goal.
Set our feet on lofty places;
Gird our lives that they may be
Armored with all Christ-like graces
In the fight to set men free.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage
That we fail not man nor Thee,
That we fail not man nor Thee!
And my favorite worship/praise song is "You Are" by Neal Cooper
I don't have a way to get the lyrics without listening to the entire song...so you'll just have to enjoy it via video (the sounds a little distorted but the words...amazing!).

thanks for joining us!
ReplyDeleteWe seem to have a lot in common, aside from being very talented procreators. Where are you adopting from?
hehehe...We were in the process of adopting from Liberia, however, it's been put on hold. There is a moratorium on adoptions there that doesn't look like it's going to end soon. So God said, "Wait." And so, we're waiting and praying. It's still a dream of ours to be able to add to our family through adoption. Thanks for hosting the favs!
