Christian Jokes: Pick Three Hymns

One Sunday a pastor told his congregation that the church needed some extra money and asked the people to prayerfully consider giving a little extra in the offering plate. He said that whoever gave the most would be able to pick out three hymns.
 
After the offering plates were passed, the pastor glanced down and noticed that someone had placed a $1,000 bill in offering. He was so excited that he immediately shared his joy with his congregation and said he’d like to personally thank the person who placed the money in the plate.
      
And there sat our Rosie all the way in the back shyly raised her hand. The pastor asked her to come to the front. Slowly she made her way to the pastor. He told her how wonderful it was that she gave so much and in thanksgiving asked her to pick out three hymns.
      
Her eyes brightened as she looked over the congregation, pointed to the three most handsome men in the building and said, “I’ll take him and him and him!”
 
Postnote:
I wonder what pastor has to say. He wasn’t picked…- Thor

Don’t Bother Me

Don’t Bother Me
With souls to save.
I have my own agenda.
There’s school to do,
Sports to play,
Important stuff to attend to.
Don’t bother me
With my friend at work.
He’s got his own religion.
I don’t have time
to change his mind.
He’ll make his own decision

Don’t bother me
With that little girl,
That girl playing in the street.
She’s much too young
To understand
The Savior she could meet.
Don’t bother me
With sounds I hear.
The sounds of people shrieking.
Although I wonder who they are,
Who are these people screaming?
Don’t bother me
With who they are
I really don’t want the blame.
Cause it’s my friend
And the little girl
Who, from hell,
scream out my name.

God Will Take Care of You – A song from a 2 – Year Old Boy and His Family

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD. (Psalms 150:6)

This is really cute. I watched this video of a family singing God Will Take Care of You. Just listen how the little boy, two years of age, sings with his mom and dad. Really adorable and his voice really blends beautifully! Be inspired. http://behindcrossroads.blogspot.com

My mouth will speak in praise of the LORD. Let every creature praise His holy name for ever and ever. (Psalm 145:21)

It is Well With My Soul – God is our Refuge and Strength, a Very Present Help in Trouble

it is well with my soul God is my refuge
This song It Is Well With My Soul has struck my attention today.   This is a song of hope. It gives us the message that amidst trouble, sorrow, or pain, we have our Heavenly Father who is for us.That out of these circumstances, God’s goodness still revealed and we can still see hope, peace, and love. Our lives here on Earth is temporal so let us invest more into something that has eternal value.

Reading the history of this hymn, I read that it was penned by a Chicago Lawyer named Horatio Spafford and composed by Philip Bliss. This hymn was written after several traumatic events in Spafford’s life. The first was the death of his only son in 1871 at the age of four, shortly followed by the great Chicago Fire which ruined him financially (he had been a successful lawyer). Then in 1873, he had planned to travel to Europe with his family on the SS Ville du Havre, but sent the family ahead while he was delayed on business concerning zoning problems following the Great Chicago Fire. While crossing the Atlantic, the ship sank rapidly after a collision with a sailing ship, the Loch Earn, and all four of Spafford’s daughters died. His wife Anna survived and sent him the now famous telegram, “Saved alone.” Shortly afterwards, as Spafford traveled to meet his grieving wife, he was inspired to write these words as his ship passed near where his daughters had died.

It Is Well With My Soul

This is a copy of the Original Hymn from Wikipedia:
 
It Is Well With My Soul
Horatio Spafford
 
When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,

It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Refrain:
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life,
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
But Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul.
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
