SUNDAY WORSHIP

One thing I love about our church is the music! We sing a lot of hymns, many of them that I haven't heard in years. And most of them are songs that remind me of my childhood. Yesterday was no exception. Three songs/hymns that were a part of the service are ones I haven't heard in a long time:

Praise Him, Praise Him by Fanny Crosby. Listen.
My Redeemer by Philip Bliss. Listen.
He is Lord, a chorus that especially reminds me of summer camp. Listen.

We also sang Narrow Little Road which is a great song you may not be familiar with. I couldn't find a recording of it anywhere online, so the words will have to do.

Narrow Little Road by Mo Leverett

I believe in the love of God
It is an orphan's wildest dream
It is a narrow little road
It is an ever-widening desert stream

My Savior, I
I will leave this road
For the narrow

It is portrayed in the bread and wine
Let it fortify my bones
It is more than just a sign
It is the fountain from that desert stone

My Savior, I
I will leave this road
For the narrow

It is the path where the humble go
It is the narrow not the broad
It is the pathway down the hill
To the graveyard of the living God

My Savior, I
I will leave this road
For the narrow

The love of God is the hymn of hope
Let the needy join the throng
Let the widow hear and cope
Let the crippled rise to sing this song

My Savior, I
I will leave this road
For the narrow

I envy you. Our church only sings praise songs. And those, frankly, get old. Nothing like a hymn to stir your soul. I especially miss "God Of Earth And Outer Space."
