What's Your Favorite Hymn or Song?

The next question in our series for your journals is:

What's Your Favorite Hymn or Song? My favorite hymn is Great Is Thy Faithfulness. It comes from Lamentations 3:22, 23 It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. He has been so faithful, during this year, in new ways. With Mom moving to heaven, I've learned how to handle grief and sadness. My businesses are prospering in a recession! I've had more lampshade orders this year than before and I've had my first sales on the two websites. Only God could do that during this time. I've seen His faithfulness in helping me sing my first solo at church in about 40 years! Also gave my testimony on "Why did my Mom die sick and in pain" without shaking or crying...that would never have happened before. He's proven He is right here with me always.

Mom's favorite hymn was In the Garden.

What's yours?

These Hands

I just typed up this poem by Mom from 1992.

These Hands

Lord, You have made me as I am
Fashioned according to Your special plan.
My life You have foreknown
To be lived for You alone.
As my days unfold and I live
I have so much I want to give.
At times it overwhelms my heart
To share, to give, to impart.
The Talents You have given are many
These hands are hands of plenty.
My heart is full, a desire to press on
These hands I must use or lose.
What they were meant to be doing
Lord, don’t let me miss out.
One day saddened by what I should have done
but may I hear “well done” spoken by Jesus God’s dear Son.
