Dear Friends,

It is a joy to sing and listen to God's music.  Two favorite scriptures that emphasize this are:
"Sing praises to the Lord."  Psalm 9:11   and   "Sing to the Lord a new song."  Psalm 33:3.

That is why my book,  52 HYMN STORY DEVOTIONS, guides us through the worship and praise
that is to flow from our hearts.  I lifted up various illustrations of composers whose lives overflowed with God's love and purpose.

One powerful illustration is, "It Is Well With My Soul". A broken hearted father, whose four young daughters drowned in the Atlantic Ocean, prayed these words to his Lord.   Praise God, Horatio Spafford had learned to love and trust Him before this tragedy.  

Exploring hymn stories is an exciting adventure !  Join me on this journey!

'Risen Christ by The Sea'

"Jesus Loves You Fellowship"
In the Bible we read these words of Jesus,
"Believe in God, believe also in me." (John 14:1)
As we believe, we can know God's perfect love.
The following stories and songs tell of God's
plan for our lives.

1. 'Jesus Loves Me' - This simple, childlike song has its beginnings in a very short poem in a very long novel ...
2. 'Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling' - The dynamic preaching of evangilist Dwight L. Moody was over: he lay on his deathbed ...
3. 'Amazing Grace' - Even the sound of sweet-grace, grace-it is amazing...
4. 'Go Tll It On the Mountain' - The carolers in our town who sing from door to door often sound like a band of angels ...

God bless you,
Lucy N. Adams
