This Music Monday, “Grace” is found in the hymn, “Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross” -arr. Mark Albrecht

Stacy Hakanson, Flute

Joshua Lindgren, Piano

Jesus, keep me near the cross,

there’s a precious fountain;

free to all, a healing stream

flows from Calv’ry’s mountain.

Refrain

In the cross, in the cross

be my glory ever;

till my ransomed soul shall find

rest beyond the river.

Near the cross I’ll watch and wait,

hoping, trusting ever,

till I reach the golden strand

just beyond the river.

Music Monday for 10/5/2020 – “Amazing Grace”

Amazing grace! – how sweet the sound –

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

and grace my fears relieved;

how precious did that grace appear

the hour I first believed!

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise

than when we’d first begun.

Music Monday for 9/21/2020 – “Siyahamba”

As today marks the last day of summer and tomorrow, September 22, 2020 marks the first day of fall, we already notice each day the sunlight struggling to break forth in the morning and yawning earlier and earlier in the evenings. Even while the daylight hours dwindle more quickly as we make our way toward the winter solstice, we never stop Marching in the Light of God!

Enjoy this festive arrangement of SIYAHAMBA: We are Marching in the Light of God, by John Carter as God’s light burns constant and bright in our hearts.
