Book excerpt: There have been times in my life when I felt I was experiencing "midnight" - financial setbacks, arguments with family members, or a myriad of other "important at the time" crises. But on Monday, August 7, 1995, these false midnights paled in comparison to the words, "Roger, it's cancer, and it doesn't look good." The doctor's voice on the telephone was pleasant, caring, and professional - not at all the type of voice you might associate with what I considered a death sentence. It was 3:00 in the afternoon on beautiful summer day, but in my heart, it was midnight. -- ROGER BENNETTThis collection of worshipful piano solos was born in the "midnight" of Roger Bennett's bout with cancer, and features introspective settings of beloved hymns underscoring the theme of God's presence and comfort. Bennett's battle with leukemia ended in March of 2007 when he went home to be with our Lord. Hear Roger's heart-felt renderings of these songs below, at Audio Preview

Download or read book Hymns of Christian Commitment written by John Zehring and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-06-07 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each chapter of "Hymns of Christian Commitment" celebrates the lyrics to hymns about a person's commitment to God, provides information about the author, and offers reflections about what it means to put God first. Jesus emphasized the word first when he encouraged his followers to "Strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness" (Matthew 6:33). What is Christian commitment? Following Jesus becomes a choice of life priorities. It is a decision to put God first. There can be a second, third, and many more priorities, but God is chosen first to claim our attention, time, gifts, creativity, and sacrifice. It is a death, of sorts, of our old self but a rebirth of our new self, in him. "Hymns of Christian Commitment" contains some of the hymns, stories, and messages of those who sing songs like "Take my life, and let it be, Consecrated, Lord, to Thee." These hymns constitute the music of those who would invite God into the heart and treat God as an honored guest.Other books about hymns written by John Zehring include "Music of the Spheres: Hymns on Loving and Tending the Earth," "Hymns of Peace," and "Be Still My Soul: Soothing Hymn Meditations."

Download or read book Sing to the Lord an Old Song written by Richard Schmidt and published by . This book was released on 2019-10 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some hymns simply have an extra sprinkling of divine magic. The first notes thrill from the organ, and we are home. There's little wonder that we refer to the majestic sound of choirs of angels: Surely the kingdom of God is full of the sound of singing. Author Richard H. Schmidt offers a homecoming of sorts in his newest book, Sing to the Lord an Old Song. His meditations on forty classic hymns remind us of a shared faith--by generations before and with generations to come. Though the words and tunes may be entrenched in memory, Schmidt sheds new light on these hymns, inviting us to think about the texts through various lenses of scripture, faith, and personal experience. His reflections are painstakingly honest about how and when he has come up short as a follower of Christ--as well as how he each time, he finds notes of forgiveness, love, and hope in these familiar songs. Saint Augustine explained the power of song in his oft-quoted adage that those who sing pray twice. Come, sing and pray of amazing grace. Amen. Alleluia!
