Status Updates From Devotions for Lent: Meditat...

“Crown Him with Many Crowns”, apparently is a combo written by a Catholic and a Protestant, through they didn’t mean it to be. So cool!

O Sacred Head Now Wounded was a translation from the Latin by a Presbyterian minister. I love that hymn and didn’t realize it had such deep roots into the past. It gives the hymn even more meaning to me now.

“Never a trial that He is not there, never a burden that He doth not bear, never a sorrow that He doth not share, moment by moment I’m under His care.” I don’t know this hymn, but this verse touched me. So beautiful in its truth.

“All glory, laud and honor, to Thee redeemer King! To whom the lips of children, made sweet Hosannas ring!” Another beautiful hymn. I probably sound cheesy, but I keep singing these as soon as I see the title in the chapter heading. It really brightens my day!

“Leaning…leaning…leaning on the everlasting arms!” Another one that I just love. This book is really reaching me now. I love it!

Not the song, but the story. Scottish doctor Mackey was making his rounds in the hospital and came across a man dying from injuries on the job. The doctor was impressed by the dying man’s love for his Bible and then the Dr realized it was HIS Bible that he had sold years before! That brought the Dr back to his faith. The Lord works in mysterious ways indeed.

“Take my life and let it be consecrated, Lord to thee.” Yet another one I know and love. Such a good book, so uplifting!

“On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand!” Another oldie but goodie. I’m so loving this Lenten devotional!

“Fairest Lord Jesus”, another one I know. An oldie, but a goodie!

Woot! I know this one too! “Now Thank We All Our God”. One of my favs. :)

Holy, Holy, Holy; another hymn they discuss that I know. Woot! Two out of 11 so far, so not great, but at least I know a few!

Day 6 and finally a hymn I know! Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! I’m going to be singing this one all day today, it’s so beautiful. What an uplifting way to start a Monday!
