There Is a Balm in Gilead - Hymn for October

-

 It's fall, ya'll!

I pray all is well with each of you today. 

The hymn that I aim to learn for this month is one that I am not very familiar with but nonetheless, a beautiful song.


[Refrain] There is a balm in Gilead, To make the wounded whole; There is a balm in Gilead To heal the sin-sick soul. 

Sometimes I feel discouraged And think my work's in vain, But then the Holy Spirit Revives my soul again. [Refrain]

Don't ever be discouraged, For Jesus is your friend; And if you lack for knowledge, He'll ne'er refuse to lend. [Refrain]

If you cannot preach like Peter, If you cannot pray like Paul, You can tell the love of Jesus and say, "He died for all!" [Refrain]

Blessings to you this fine day,

Sarah

Good morning, blog family!  I am SO happy to share the questions to Kellie's  fun, and creative blog party!   I did this last year, and if you would like to read my answers, please  click here . <<<---Don't you just love this part in the movie?  I cry every time! :p I am composing/answering these questions with what read in 2014.  Next year it'll be with what I've read this year.  :)  Here are the questions and my answers. :)  Enjoy!   1. Introduce yourself! Divulge your life's vision, likes dislikes, aspirations, or something completely random! Well hello!  My name is Sarah and this is my second year attending Kellie's online party.  The first year  was SO much fun I just had to come back for more!  My life's vision is to honor and glorify my Savoir and King with everything that I say, think and do.  As I pray that part of God's will for me will include marriage and children, I am finding the grace and glory t

New moth, new verse

It is April (if you already haven't had a chance to take a glance at your calendar)!  This is random, but for some reason when each new moth rolls around I associate it with a color - weird, I know - and this is the list of months typed in the colors that I associate them with: January  February   March  April  May  June  July  August  September  October  November  December I know, it's really weird!  :p Back the post. :-) Part of my new year's resolution was to memorize a verse each month and reflect on it throughout the month. I am on my 4th memory verse of 2014!  :-) How did I decide which verses to memorize?  Well, my parents got my sisters and I a new, beautiful calender at the end of 2013 that was full of Psalm of praise. Each month has a verse, so I thought, "why not just memorize the verse that comes with each month?" That is what I am doing and it proves to be a pretty nice plan. :-) I share the KJV and YLT versions. Janua

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross - Hymn for July

-
Image
While the words of this hymn were etched onto my years ago, the richness and truth of this song ring true even more so today. When I survey the wondrous cross, On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss,  and pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast Save in the death of Christ, my God! All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them through His blood. See, from his head, his hands, his feet, Sorry and love flow mingled down. Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,  Or thorns compose so rich a crown? Were the whole realm of nature mine,  That were a present for too small. Love so amazing, so divine,  Demands my soul, my life, my all.  What a beautiful song! I encourage you all to take a moment and read about it (click  here ). Then once you've done that, I would recommend giving it a listen (you can do that by clicking  here ).  And as you near the end of this short post, I would hope that you would take the time to read t
