I'm with you on "The Wonderful Cross". That song really says it all.

I've been a worship leader off and on for 10 years.. it's good to hear someone else who gets it every now and then.

Thanks for your blog... though there are some things I'm still sorting out, it's appreciated to read some of your articles.

Best...

Thank for your sharing Beowulf about the worship in bible college.

I’ve gone thru similar experience two days ago and I like to share.

I’m leading my school devotion with teachers from various denominations, mostly from charismatic. I’m the only teachers with a reformed background. On that day, the sermon text was taken from 2King 6:10-17 delivered by a pastor from a reformed church. As unusual I decided to choose some songs related to the text. After much thoughts, I decided to sing portion of Psalms 146 and 103 from Psalter 1912 and 1650, using familiar tunes like “Love Divine”, “Amazing Grace” and “All the way my savior leads me” With soft guitar background, most people participate in the singing. I feel the Spirit is singing together in our midst. I hope the word of God will also retain in our mind and our heart.

Below is one of the three songs we sang on that day.

Tune : Amazing Grace

1 Praise God. The Lord praise, O my soul.
2 I'll praise God while I live;
While I have being to my God
in songs I'll praises give.

3 Trust not in princes, nor man's son,
in whom there is no stay:
4 His breath departs, to's earth he turns;
that day his thoughts decay.

5 O happy is that man and blest,
whom Jacob's God doth aid;
Whose hope upon the Lord doth rest,
and on his God is stay'd:

6 Who made the earth and heavens high,
who made the swelling deep,
And all that is within the same;
who truth doth ever keep:

10 The Lord shall reign for evermore:
thy God, O Sion, he
Reigns to all generations.
Praise to the Lord give ye.

Greetings in Christ Beowulf! I've been reading your blog for quite sometime now and do enjoy it very much. Since you mentioned exams in the previous post, thot I'll drop a note of encouragement. I'm afraid there is no short cut to language studies. Perseverance and constant use are the necessary ingredients for mastering Greek (and Hebrew). Press on and don't give up!

On hymns, why not try some modern ones alongside the classics. Stuart Townend is excellent.
