Premium Member I Sure Miss the Old Hymns
I sure miss the old hymns of ages past.
With tattered edges their message still lasts.
Those five stanza’d jewels I know by heart--
“The Sweet By and By” and “How Great Thou Art!”
And “Count Your Blessings,” I love that one, too.
And “This World’s Not My Home, I’m...

Premium Member The Hymns and I
Why do all the hills rejoice 
With rivers in the north?

Why bother to go racing 
In a race to then 'come forth'?

Where on earth's the green hill 
far away outside a wall?

And how can all God's creatures 
Be as great as they are small?

Which dancer...

Hymns of Salvation 1
Hymns of salvation

That  my own  body 
is my greatest enemy
was unknown to me.
Deluded,  
O Lord, I  was reveling  in its pleasures.

The ones that
do not listen to Your tales,
never  speak the truth and won’t feed the starving,
worry  not about...

**Is it weird that someone my age (Gen Xer) actually likes the hymns at church?  I mean I like the much more modern songs that they sing on Christian radio too, but I like the hymns.  As such I wondered what I could...

The Contest of Hymns
Today my fellow Christians 
Today we have a need to pay
To pave the way for Godly deeds
I offer this contest today

Three hymns you may choose
To whom may ever give the most
Of dollars which are in need
So may you be leaded by the Holy Ghost

Thus the...

Within Eroding Hymns
Every verse shakes with a contradiction
Binding mercy in chains with conviction
Every taste of truth is laced with divisions
Shared in unions ensnaring benedictions

Our time is told through triumph teetering
Upon sands once sanctified with gilt gold
Avenues bathed with balm culled from Gods
Aligning below the heavens to chant...

Olde Hymns
It annoys me so, from time to time,
When those Olde Hymns just don’t rhyme.

It seems a rather awkward move,
To rhyme words like “Love” with words like “Prove”,
And to rhyme “Lord” with the word “Word”,
To me it just seems quite absurd,
Is there not a word around,
Which...

HYMNS OF FREEDOM

It is a a new day, what we live today
Free of servitude
Murana! not more a slave, bonds - girl
Murana ! not more a trokosi
Shout, shout the word loud for us to hear
Murana, break the silence your voice wishes to betray
and lightened the path...
