Sing Psalm 18:1-2a

by | Jul 3, 2023 | Mom Blog, Audio, Posts, Sing, Verse Songs

The Lord has put a new song of praise in my heart! The words in this song are found in Psalm 18:1-2a. They have brought comfort and encouragement many times over.

It is a joy to share this song with you as a personal testimony that God is truly my Deliverer! Would love to have you read the words of the song and sing along as you reflect on who God is in your life as well. Praise Him!

Romans 15:5-6

by | Jan 3, 2023 | Mom Blog, Audio, Let's Pray

Now may the God Who gives the power of patient endurance (steadfastness) and Who supplies encouragement, grant you to live in such mutual harmony and such full sympathy with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus,

That together you may (unanimously) with united hearts and one voice, praise and glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

How I Love Thy Law, O Lord!

by | Oct 5, 2022 | Mom Blog, Audio, Posts, Sing

So many wonderful hymns are full of truth from the Scriptures! As you enjoy singing hymns with your children, your children will begin to lay up these truths in their hearts. And these hymns can remain with them, ready in their hearts to one day be sung with the next generation.

Hymns comfort, encourage, lift up our eyes to Jesus and renew our spirits. Let’s keep singing hymns!!

Hymn History 

“How I Love Thy Law, O Lord”, is based on Psalm 119. Psalm 119 was written by the psalmist David. Psalm 119 is the longest Psalm in the Bible and contains many verses about God’s Word and David’s devotion to it.

Psalm 119 is divided into smaller portions and each portion is named after a letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. “How I Love Thy Law, O Lord” is based off of the verses in the section called “Mem” which is the thirteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

Reading the section “Mem” and then comparing it to “How I Love Thy Law, O Lord” shows how closely the hymn follows these Bible verses. Take a look! (start at Psalm 119:97) Whoever adapted this hymn for singing, was evidently meditating on God’s Word.

Another interesting fact is the melody used for this song is also used for the hymn “Come Christians Join to Sing”.

Hymn History 

Eliza Hewitt (1851 – 1920) is the author of the hymn “Singing I Go”. She also wrote other beautiful lyrics in the songs “When We All Get to Heaven” and “There is Sunshine in My Soul Today”.

She had a heart to help others but during a time of injury she could not be actively involved in service. During this season she grew closer to the Lord in her relationship with Him. She also began writing children’s poems. Later music was added to her poems to create hymns. Eliza Hewitt enjoyed having the hymn writer Fanny Crosby as a friend.

Eliza’s choice to rejoice and her heart for others comes out in this beautiful hymn!
