Spiritual Songs: "Welcome to Our World"

This song, "Welcome to Our World," has long been a favorite of mine. Chris Rice is great song writer. His songs provide food for thought. As we move toward the celebration of Christ's birth, this is an excellent song to meditate on.  I hope you enjoy it (it ends abruptly, but it was the best I could find).

Hymns: "Rock of Ages"

I love this old hymn. Rock of Ages reminds us of the timelessness of God. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. I love this song.

Spiritual Songs: "Hallelujahs" by Chris Rice

I love Chris Rice's music. It is usually thought provoking, occasionally melancholy. This song, "Hallelujahs," is vivid in its descriptions, and powerful in its themes. The song pulls listeners into the rapturous worship. As we listen, we are reminded of the many reasons we should be singing God's praises. I hope this song blesses you, and leads you to praise the Lord.

Hymns: "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God"

This hymn was originally written in German by Martin Luther. It speaks of God's sovereignty and might. It is a continually reminder that God's Word cannot fail. As such, it reminds us to cling to God's unerring Word with faith and conviction. Here is Chris Rice's version of  "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God".  

Spiritual Songs: "Life Means So Much" Chris Rice

The Bible is clear concerning the days of man. They are numbered. The Psalmist reminds us, "Our lives last seventy years or, if we are strong, eighty years" (Ps. 90:10, HCSB). In that same Psalm, this prayer is offered, "Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts" (Ps. 90:12, HCSB).

Our goal, as mere mortals, on this planet should be to make the most of our time here. The only way to do that is to keep the end in sight, and live with wisdom. Everyone dies. The author of Hebrews reminds us, "And it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Heb. 9:27, KJV). In light of this, we can see why the Psalmist wanted instruction in numbering his days.

This song by Chris Rice captures this desire. He sings, "Teach us to count our days, teach us to make our days count." I hope you hear the message of this song. Let it capture you, and become a theme song for your life. Enjoy the video.
