Simple Pleasures

Here you go Denis —

Thanks Sis, love it! Not every song needs to be a hymn to glorify God!

TR

I heard Carrie Underwood sing How Great Thou Art and while she has a fabulous voice it is Elvis who owns that song! His powerful voice laced with those lyrics is as good as it gets. imho

I haven’t heard that one before, Dan.

I’m loving all this music!!

What about Carrie Underwood’s  … “Jesus, Take the Wheel?”    I think that made the hit list in 2005?

LOL … yes … I remember … “Put your hand in the hand of the man that stilled the waters…”

And how about He’s got the whole world in his hands”?  The first time I heard this was in first grade at a public elementary school … a substitute teacher was filling in and she had her guitar … and was singing this in the classroom.  Looking back ... perhaps she was saved?

He's got the whole world in his hands.
He's got the whole world in his hands.
He's got the whole world in his hands.
He's got the whole world in his hands.

2 He's got the wind and the rain in his hands.

(Sing three times)

He's got the whole world in his hands.

3 He's got the little tiny baby in his hands. . . .
He's got the whole world in his hands.

4 He's got you and me, brother, in his hands. . . .
He's got the whole world in his hands.

5 He's got you and me, sister, in his hands. . . .
He's got the whole world in his hands.

6 He's got everybody here in his hands. . . .
He's got the whole world in his hands.

For me, I like this simple song. Even with all the wickedness going on, this is my Father's world. He is in charge and soon He will send His Son to evict the squatters.

This is my Father's world

1 This is my Father's world,

And to my listening ears

All nature sings, and round me rings

The music of the spheres.

This is my Father's world:

I rest me in the thought

Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas--

His hand the wonders wrought.

2 This is my Father's world:

The birds their carols raise,

The morning light, the lily white,

Declare their Maker's praise.

This is my Father's world:

He shines in all that's fair;

In the rustling grass I hear Him pass,

He speaks to me everywhere.

3 This is my Father's world:

O let me ne'er forget

That though the wrong seems oft so strong,

God is the Ruler yet.

This is my Father's world:

Why should my heart be sad?

The Lord is King: let the heavens ring!

God reigns; let earth be glad!
