With fingers moving in a figure eight shape...

Postby Poimen » June 1st, 2008, 5:51 pm

In four four time...

Poimen's voice begins to resonant with the old hymn stirring in his mind tonight. You are encouraged to join in, worship, and sing-a-long wherever you are.

*Melody comes in right at the following verse*


Let us then be true and faithful
Trusting, Serving, Everyday
Just one glimpse of Him in glory
Will the toils of life repay


When we all get to heaven
What a day of rejoicing that will be
When we all see Jesus
We'll sing and shout the victory



I could just about shout over here! I want to see each and everyone of you there. Think about it! What a time we are gonna have when we ALL get over there. Glory!

Then (still of the key of Church of God "G", of course, and without skipping a beat), segueing into:

When with all that heavenly host,
We begin to sing;
Singing in the Holy Ghost,
How the heaven's will ring.
Millions there will join the song,
With them we shall be;
Singing while the ages roll,
Heaven's Jubilee!

Oh, what singing; Oh, what shouting,
On that happy morning when we all shall rise.
Oh, what glory. Hallelujah!
When we meet our blessed Savior in the sky.


Sounds like home to me, bro. :D

My 4 year old daughter loves worship music and hymns. We haven't been in church in 6 months (except for Easter). The other morning before leaving for preschool, she was in her room watching a kids worship DVD she put in herself. My wife said, "Whatcha doin' honey?"

"I just felt like worshipping," she said.

Y'all pray for us to just pick a church and get back in. Being busy and productive is good and all, but we've gotten off track by her. Thanks.

Adding to what I posted about my daughter. We have Paul Thorn's newest CD, and in it is a 'bonus CD' with him doing a live acoustic set. His parents and sisters appear with him at the end of it performing a song whose title I do not know, but his old preacher daddy leads the song and it has these lyrics ----

"I met a man whose in my heart to stay. And now I know He's with me all the day. Now you can see, I'm happy and free."

My 4 year old insists that we listen to it over and over and over. She tells me, "Sing, Daddy!" So, we sing it to the top of our lungs.

I miss that in church, I miss it out of church.

dolfan, part of a scriptue in Isaiah says, "and a little child shall lead them..." I think your precious daughter is trying to tell you something. :) I pray that God directs you to a church that will not only minister to your family, but give you opportunity to serve others with the gifts and talents imparted to you.

I beg you: get up next Sunday, get dressed, drive that precious child to church... ANY church. An imperfect, flawed, badly organized, mediocre church would be better than NO church, because that baby girl needs to be in church. And so do you and your wife.

Okay -- I'll stop preaching... :lol:

I agree with those brothers Tim

Postby Poimen » June 1st, 2008, 9:07 pm

Yes, please do.

And, until you find a place more suited to your tastes, if your up for the drive, you all are welcome at Christway anytime. I only mention that if perhaps the familiarity we share might aid in you guys being in the next possible service available to you.

I'd like to thank you for helping me choose my called choir selections for next Sunday! That will go over like gangbusters here!
