Wednesday Is for Worship: “My Jesus, I Love Thee”

Good Wednesday to you!  I pray that the coming of summer just around the corner has you amazed by the common grace of God.  I know it has done so for me! Today I want to share one of the tenderest songs sung from the heart of a worshiper to Jesus. It’s an old one, but my goodness, it captures the heart…

Wednesday Is for Worship: “Christ Is Risen, He Is Risen Indeed”

Although we just closed up the season of Eastertide with last Sunday being Pentecost Sunday, I want to do one more resurrection song.  Of course, since every Sunday is a reminder of Jesus’ resurrection, these songs never go out of “season”! Today’s worship song is a dandy!  The arrangement, the accompaniment, the words themselves, and the content of the lyrics are joy-filled…

Wednesday Is for Worship: “Before the Throne of God Above”

Today is the 6th Wednesday of Eastertide, the 50-day Christian season between Easter and Pentecost Sunday, which is May 19 this year.  We’ll continue to focus on Resurrection songs until then. I want to take us back to 1863 today.  It was in that year that Charitie Bancroft penned the lyrics to this powerful song.  This Irish writer was not prolific in…

Wednesday Is for Worship: “Christ Is Risen”

It’s the third Wednesday after Easter, which means we are still in the church season of Eastertide (the fifty-day season of Christian celebration from Easter Sunday to Pentecost Sunday).  My friend Trevin Wax recently wrote about this very important church tradition that I honestly had never really thought about.  He wrote: By Thanksgiving, radio stations will be playing Christmas music non-stop. In…

Wednesday Is for Worship: “I Will Rise”

Today is Holy Wednesday, the Wednesday before Resurrection Sunday.  On this day, Jesus was in and around Jerusalem teaching, but undoubtedly He had Friday and Sunday in the back of His mind.  On Friday, He would be killed by man as they nailed Him to a crucifix and momentarily forsaken by God as the sins of the world were imputed to Him. …

Wednesday Is for Worship: “Your Great Name”

What an awesome day it is to praise the Lord!  May we do it until our dying breath!! Today’s worship song is one of the most moving songs I’ve heard in a while.  Not only is it beautifully orchestrated, it also is full of biblical truth.  I’m talking about “Your Great Name.” Written in 2008 by Krissy Nordhoff & Michael Neale and…

Wednesday Is for Worship: “Blessed Be Your Name”

 Welcome to this edition of Wednesday Is for Worship where my goal is to point you to great songs of the faith so that you might greatly worship the Lord today.  Today our song is “Blessed Be Your Name.” Written in 2002 by Matt and Beth Redman and published through Thankyou Music, “Blessed Be Your Name” has been one of the most…

Wednesday Is for Worship: “O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing”

It’s Wednesday and time to remember that God gave you tongue for many reasons, but one of those reasons surely is to return praise to Him! Today’s song takes us back to 1739 when the great hymn-writer Charles Wesley penned these words.  Although we typically sing only about a fourth of what Wesley wrote, I’ve provided the entire lyric below.  Carl G.…

Wednesday Is for Worship: “Happy Day”

It’s Wednesday, and for followers of Jesus Christ, it’s a happy day!  Today’s song rejoices in the happiness that Jesus brings by washing our sins away and changing our life around. Ben Cantelon and Tim Hughes wrote “Happy Day” in 2006 and published it through Thankyou Music.  It’s an upbeat celebration of the joy of salvation.  Sing along with Tim below.  You…

Wednesday Is for Worship: “O Church, Arise”

It’s Wednesday, and it’s time to arise!  Today’s Wednesday Is for Worship song will call you to do just that as we sing along with “O Church, Arise.” Written and published through Thankyou Music in 2005 by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, who have shown themselves to be today’s premiere modern hymn-writers, this song is a battle hymn for the church.  We…
