Music plays a very important role in my life. And that's why the Lord guided me to Christian music some years ago. So, though I am not an expert, I do appreciate hymns and Christian music in general. There is no better way to get to the soul than speaking truth through the melodies of Scripture-based songs.

My favourite is 'Nearer My God to Thee'... I love the tune, the words... everything about it. <br /><br />It's funny but I was just thinking about this text, i.e. "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord" the other day. <br /><br />Whilst the older hymns have some solid teachings and testimony in their verses, some of the tunes to older hymns are very out-of-date and really droney-sounding and I can see why the younger generation don't listen much to them. I rarely listen to them because I find them depressing and not uplifting! However, just imagine if these old Hymns were to be brought into this century music wise - wow! <br /><br />That's what was on my mind Judith and this post rekindled these thoughts.Wendy @ E-1-Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898058440919632867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2929359988437892071.post-15162907088106977902011-10-03T20:39:28.621-04:002011-10-03T20:39:28.621-04:00We sung it this morning and it was just perfect fo...We sung it this morning and it was just perfect for the day!!Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303626433109140676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2929359988437892071.post-57519196386607790172011-10-03T17:15:33.536-04:002011-10-03T17:15:33.536-04:00An absolutely beautiful hymn!
