00:20 Hello and welcome back to "Praise."
00:22 Today we are going to listen to a series of songs, 00:25 focusing both on praising God for His love 00:29 and drawing always closer to Him, 00:31 committing our lives completely to Him 00:33 to use however He chooses in service. 00:36 I recently read the autobiography 00:38 of Frances Jane Crosby, who went by the nick name 00:41 of Fanny and he's credited with writing over 8,000 hymns. 00:44 Fanny Crosby was born to a wonderful loving 00:47 Christian family in New England 00:48 and her grandfather actually fought in the revolutionary war. 00:52 The great writer James Fenimore Cooper 00:54 made another one of Fanny's relatives Enoch Crosby, 00:57 the hero of one of his revolutionary novels. 01:00 When Fanny was only six weeks old 01:02 an inflammation destroyed her sight and left her blind. 01:05 But years later she wrote, "It seemed intended 01:08 by the blessed providence of God 01:10 that I should be blind all my life, 01:12 and I thank Him for the dispensation. 01:14 If perfect earthly sight were offered me 01:17 tomorrow I would not accept it. 01:19 I might not have sung hymns to the praise of God 01:22 if I had been distracted by the beautiful 01:24 and interesting things about me. 01:25 Mine has been an experience that has ripened 01:28 into a faith as strong as the hills. 01:29 It has given me a hope that admits me 01:32 into the room called Beautiful." 01:35 One evening as the sun was setting Fanny 01:38 sat visiting with her longtime songwriting partner, 01:40 Mr. W. H. Doane, in his home in Cincinnati, Ohio. 01:44 They were talking together about the nearness of God 01:48 as the night slowly settled around them. 01:51 Fanny was so touched by their discussion that 01:54 before she went to bed that night, 01:56 she sat down and she wrote the song that my friend Jill 01:59 is going to play for us right now. 02:01 "I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice. 02:04 And it spoke Thy love to me, but I long to rise 02:09 in the arms of faith and be closer drawn to Thee." 05:09 Lord, you have my heart 05:13 And I will search for yours 05:18 Jesus take my life and lead me on 05:27 Lord, you have my heart 05:31 And I will search for yours 05:36 Let me be to you a sacrifice 05:45 And I will praise you, Lord 05:53 And I will sing of love come down 06:02 And as you show your face 06:10 We'll see your glory here 06:42 Lord, you have my heart 06:46 And I will search for yours 06:50 Jesus take my life and lead me on 06:59 And I will praise you, Lord 07:08 And I will sing of love come down 07:16 And as you show your face 07:24 We'll see your glory here 11:23 How can I keep? How can I keep? 11:28 How can I keep 11:33 from singing? 11:40 My life flows on 11:45 in endless song 11:51 Above earth's lamentation 11:59 I hear the real though far-off hymn 12:10 That hails a new creation 12:15 a new creation 12:18 Through all the tumult 12:23 and the strife 12:29 I hear it's music ringing 12:36 It sounds an echo in my soul 12:44 How can I keep from singing? 12:53 The peace of Christ 12:58 makes fresh my heart 13:03 A fountain ever springing 13:11 All things are mine 13:15 since I am His 13:22 How can I keep from singing? 13:29 Since Christ is Lord of Heaven and earth 13:41 How can I keep 13:46 from singing? 13:51 How can I keep? How can I keep? 13:55 How can I keep 14:00 from singing? 17:23 Rendered at Your Feet, 17:28 I want to be precious Lord 17:33 Contemplating Your presence, 17:38 and your sweet things full of love 17:44 You surround me with Your mercy 17:50 Even when I down astray 17:55 And to Eve say I love you 18:01 Brings me come for everyday 18:07 I want to serve you, O God 18:12 Help me preach Your lovely sing 18:17 My heart if I surrender 18:22 for my sings Your life You gave 18:40 Rendered at Your Feet, 18:44 I want to be precious Lord 18:50 Contemplating Your presence, 18:55 and your sweet things full of love 19:00 You surround me with Your mercy 19:06 Even when I down astray 19:12 And to Eve say I love you 19:17 Brings me come for everyday 19:23 I want to serve you, O God 19:28 Help me preach Your lovely sing 19:33 My heart if I surrender 19:39 for my sings 19:41 Your life You gave 20:20 My Jesus, I love Thee, 20:26 I know Thou art mine 20:32 For Thee all the follies 20:38 of sin I resign 20:44 My gracious Redeemer, 20:51 my Savior art Thou 21:00 If ever I loved Thee, 21:06 my Jesus, 'tis now 21:21 I love Thee because 21:27 Thou hast first loved me 21:33 And purchased my pardon 21:39 on Calvary's tree 21:45 I love Thee for wearing 21:51 the thorns on Thy brow 21:57 If ever I loved Thee, 22:03 my Jesus, 'tis now 22:21 In mansions of glory 22:27 and endless delight 22:33 I'll ever adore Thee 22:38 in heaven so bright 22:44 I'll sing with the glittering 22:51 crown on my brow 22:59 If ever I loved Thee, 23:06 my Jesus, 23:13 'tis now 23:36 We will spend eternity praising God 23:38 for His great love to us, for redeeming us 23:42 and for caring us through all the trials 23:44 that we faced down here. 23:46 One of my mini favorite songs is found in Chapter 95, 23:50 "Come let us sing unto the Lord, 23:53 let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. 23:57 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, 24:01 and make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms. 24:04 For the Lord is a great God, 24:07 and a great King above all Gods. 24:09 In His hand are the deep places of the earth. 24:12 The strength of the hills is His also. 24:16 The sea is His, and He made it, 24:18 and His hands formed the dry land. 24:21 O come, let us worship and bow down. 24:24 Let us kneel before the Lord, 24:26 our Maker, for He is our God. 24:29 And we are the people of His pasture, 24:31 and the sheep of His hand. 24:39 O Lord my God, 24:44 When I in awesome wonder 24:50 Consider all the worlds 24:55 Thy Hands have made 25:01 I see the stars, 25:05 I hear the rolling thunder 25:11 Thy power throughout 25:15 the universe displayed 25:22 Then sings my soul, 25:27 My Savior God, to Thee 25:33 How great Thou art, 25:39 How great Thou art 25:45 Then sings my soul, 25:50 My Savior God, to Thee 25:56 How great Thou art, 26:03 How great Thou art 26:15 When Christ shall come, 26:19 with shout of acclamation 26:25 And take me home, 26:29 what joy shall fill my heart 26:36 Then I shall bow, 26:41 in humble adoration 26:47 And there proclaim, 26:51 "My God, how great Thou art" 26:57 Then sings my soul, 27:03 My Savior God, to Thee 27:09 How great Thou art, 27:15 How great Thou art 27:20 Then sings my soul, 27:26 My Savior God, to Thee 27:32 How great Thou art, 27:38 How great Thou art 27:44 How great Thou art, 27:50 How great Thou art |
