Rope Work

Fellowship is so important. Thanks, David, for this excellent connection. (I feel like there were two puns in there …)

Ebbs and Flows...

One storyline in the episode of ‘Call of the Midwife’ that was screened on Sunday 8 February involved Frank Robbins, the owner of a rope works in London’s docklands in the 1950s. Frank was coming to terms with the fact that his wife had given birth to a daughter when he desperately longed for a son. Frank wanted a son as an heir to inherit the rope works because he was the sole surviving male in the family line. He had lost his father and brothers during World War II, and had made a promise to his dead father that he would father a son to carry on the family name and business.

All Hail the Power with the Newsboys

If the beginning of wisdom is to fear the Lord, learn some basics at Proverbial Thought!

Call me a conservative Christian, even olde fashioned, but I greatly enjoy hymns. I think much of the greater evangelical church has lost or given up on a great link to our historical and theological past by neglecting the inclusion of hymns from weekly services.

I know. Many churches still play some hymns, and many play updated hymns from modern pop and rock bands.

In fact, today I offer a hymn done by one of those modern rock bands. Fortunately for us, they did little to it!

I will not waste any more time by explaining it. Just listen to the goodness!

 Newsboys – All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name

All hail the power of Jesus’ name!
Let angels prostrate fall.
Bring forth the Royal Diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all!
Bringing forth the Royal Diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all!

Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race,
Ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him Who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all!
Hail Him Who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all!

You are Lord of all!
You are Lord of all!

Let every kindred, every tribe
On this terrestrial ball
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all!
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all!
And crown Him Lord of all!
And crown Him Lord of all!
