Thanks to the Holy Spirit for all the great hymns HE inspired people to write/compose. I just want to share one with all....there are countless others...but someone who is familiar with this hymn, please join me in singing and practicing the words...


A BEAUTIFUL LIFE
1.Each day I'll do a golden deed,
By helping those who are need
My life on earth is but a span;
And so I’ll do the best I can

Chorus
Life's evening sun is sinking low,
A few more days and I must go,
To meet the deed that I have done,
Where there will be no setting sun

2. To be a child of God each day,
My light must shine along the way;
I'll sing His praise while ages roll,
And strive to help some troubled soul

3. The only life that will endure,
Is one that's kind and good and pure;
And so for God I'll take my stand,
Each day I'll lend a helping hand

4. I'll help someone in time of need,
And journey on with rapid speed;
I'll help the sick and poor and weak
And words of kindness to them speak

5. While going down life's weary road,
I'll try to lift some traveler's load;
I’ll try to turn the night to day
Make flowers bloom along the way


James Chapter 2:14-17 supports the words of this hymn:
14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?
15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

i'll fly away

Always lifts my spirits

Absolutely correct, yellowrose10. You are so right. It has the same effect on me. That's indeed another great hymn!!!

Amazing grace has no rival. Does it?

Amazing grace is as amazing as its words - an explicit description of what we were before JESUS CHRIST met us and what HIS grace was able to do for us - rescuing us from the wretchedness of our soul....HIS power to keep us till the end by HIS grace and mercy.

However, I do not think that the inspired hymns compete with one another. I think the blessed Holy Spirit gave inspiration for each hymn to serve a distinct purpose and to send distinct messages to believers.

Wishing you a great day ahead, uche9aa

If only the hearts of men are like that of Christ's. How beautiful this world would be. May God help us to practice it.

When We All Get To Heaven

Amen, Toks88.

The more we draw closer to God...seek HIM...consecrate our lives to JESUS CHRIST, the more HIS grace is poured down into our lives and tunes our heart to what He wants it to be. It is by HIS grace and mercy alone. Our duty is to be willing and prepared to receive that grace.

We keep pushing to know HIM more and more until finally...in that great day, we step into the bliss of HIS everlasting presence. Amen!!!

I actually still like the old Hymns the best.
I love
Trinity...
and of course
Amazing grace

Hello, SitkaRains. Indeed, the old hymns are great, including Trinity and Amazing grace.

Your message reminds me of the hymn, "Give me that old time religion..."

Reminds me of the Bible verse- JESUS CHRIST the same yesterday, today and tomorrow...Amen!!!

All in all Amazing grace is the top more dominant, as there is nothing greater then God's amazing grace :D nothing in Earth, on top of, or below is greater then God's amazing grace :D
