SUNDAY CHOICE – JUST TODAY- By Charles Schokman Read the story behind this song about not worrying about the future, and listen to the song! As a young girl Helen was full of thoughts about the future and questions about how God wanted her to live her life. In her need to find God’s will, He inspired her to write this song. It helped her through these times, and has helped many others since. Read her story and listen to the song yourself! “The ‘Teens’ and ‘Twenties’ can be a time of change and decision for many young people. Maybe they get married, or continue their education and settle into a career, or maybe they are not at all sure what to do with themselves. “For me, as an unmarried girl in my mid-twenties, it was a time when many thoughts went around in my head as to what the ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – I RATHER HAVE JESUS – By Charles Schokman “I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ.”-Philippians 3:18  This song was written by George Beverly Shea in 1933. He was encouraged by his mother to put music to a poem she liked by Rhea Miller. It was her hope that in putting together this hymn, her son would find new direction for his talent. And in fact he did, touring the world as a soloist with Billy Graham. I cannot hear it without remembering the joke of a former boyfriend. He said if we ever got married, he would sing this as I came down the aisle!! Image Source : godtube Today’s verse made me think of this song that says “I’d rather have ...

MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS. – By Charles Schokman Image Source : commons.wikimedia I came across this song quite by accident and I am glad I did as it brought back pleasant memories of my late mum singing it many, many years ago. It is a tribute to all those beautiful wives gone to be with the Lord. Hope it touches your hearts. CHORUS: If those lips could only speak If those eyes could only see If those beautiful golden tresses Were here in reality Could I only take your hand As I did when you told my name But it’s only a beautiful picture In a beautiful golden frame It stood in a beautiful mansion Surrounded by riches untold And he gazed at the beautiful picture That hung in a frame of gold Was the picture of a lady So beautiful young and fair To this beautiful life-like vision He murmured in ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – The Longer I Serve Him The Sweeter He Grows. – By Charles Schokman Image Source : slideshare May this hymn, written by William (Bill) Gaither, be found true and real in our own life: Since I started for the Kingdom, Since my life He controls, Since I gave my heart to Jesus, The longer I serve Him, The sweeter He grows. Chorus The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows, The more that I love Him, more love He bestows; Each day is like heaven, my heart overflows, The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows. Ev’ry need He is supplying, Plenteous grace He bestows; Ev’ry day my way gets brighter, The longer I serve Him, The sweeter He grows. One of the fascinating things we remember about our Christian life is our ardent passion for God when we had come to know Christ as our ...
