Lyrics To This Hymn:

Whatever my God ordains is right

His holy will abide

I will be still, whatever He does

And follow where He guides

Sweet comfort, sweet comfort

Yet shall fill my heart

Sweet comfort, sweet comfort

Sorrow shall depart

Whatever my God ordains is right

He makes my feet to stand

Though sorrow, need, or death be mine

He holds me in His hand

Sweet comfort, sweet comfort

Yet shall fill my heart

Sweet comfort, sweet comfort

Sorrow shall depart

This bitter cup, I take it

My fainting heart restored

So here I stand, unshaken

I trust upon the Lord

Sweet comfort, sweet comfort

Yet shall fill my heart

Sweet comfort, sweet comfort

Sorrow shall depart

He is my God, though dark my road

He holds me, I shall not fall

Whatever my God ordains is right

To Him, I leave it all

Oh, sweet comfort, sweet comfort

Yet shall fill my heart

Sweet comfort, sweet comfort

Sorrow shall depart

Sorrow shall depart

Sorrow shall depart

The Kingdom of Jesus (new Porter's Gate song)

From friends with The After Party and the Porter's Gate:

Christians are formed by what we read, watch, listen to and... by what we sing! Recently, we partnered with our friends at The Porter's Gate to create what we are calling Songs For The After Party, modern hymns that will make up the forthcoming album The Kingdom of Jesus. We are confident this special collection of music will encourage you as you think about & talk about politics in light of Biblical truth. We will release a new song each month and pray this music will be a rich blessing to all who encounter it! https://redeemingbabel.org/the-after-party/worship-album/

Here is the fist song release: "The Kingdom of Jesus (feat. Sandra McCracken)"

To what shall we compare the kingdom of Jesus if not a seed It’s small, it’s sown, it’s tended and grown And it’s sturdy, you and me Its branches never break and its fruit never withers

His kingdom is not of this world or of any kingdom whose ruler’s face is on a penny He comes to make all things right, to put a new wine in us He’s chosen the small things to outlast the great The meek and the merciful to shine through the hate Though it seems, some days, that hell and its gates are prevailing Oh, say, can’t you see: the kingdom within us Is the kingdom of Jesus

To what shall we compare the spirit of the hour if not a sword It frees us, unites us, enslaves and divides us in violence Help us, Lord

Are you “listening”?

the first track on The Still Point

What is?

A letter from Sandra McCracken sent in an email on friday the 24th of may:

Years ago, some friends and I made a pilgrimage to meet Wendell Berry, a Kentucky writer who winsomely urges readers to consider a slower, more integrated way of life; he called it the “slow communication movement.”

Today, Ben Shive and I have released a new EP of songs called “The Still Point” that reminds me of those words. Using classical elements and poetry over lush instrumental sections, this project sounds at times like a soundtrack and other times like prayerful reflection.

The third single is out today and it’s called, “Do You Dream.”

We hope you’ll listen to the EP in its entirety, maybe with a pen and paper on hand or while on a Sunday drive.

Thank you for coming with us on this journey…we look forward to hearing what it opens up for you.

Cheers, Sandra

will writing reach into your dear heart?

Song of the Month: November 2021

Song of the Month: November 2021

Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song,The joy of my heart. and the boast of my tongue;Thy free grace alone, from the first to the last,Hath won my affections, and bound my soul fast.Without Thy sweet mercy I could not live here;Sin would reduce me to utter despair;But, through Thy free goodness, my spirits revive,And He that first made me still keeps me alive.Whene’er I mistake, thy kind…

We Will (Funkily) Feast in the (Groovy) House of Zion

Cover versio of the classic song by Sandra McCracken, covered by Cole McSween.

[thegatheringplace-mjt]

“As the leaf bends and leans toward the light

Oh the heart takes what it wants…like dynamite.

//

Those who have ears, as the smoke it clears will see things as they are

to bend the will, you first must change the heart.”

Sandra McCracken ft. Josh Garrels – The Space Between Lyrics [Verse 1] Free fall Feet off the ground A clean white page Fresh snow, no sound Here as we wait From dark to dawn New paths before us The old is gone [Chorus 1] Unplug the lights Take down the tree The less we have The less we need From Christmas night To New Year’s Eve We bless the space that’s in between We bless the space that’s in…

A Spontaneously Random Animated/Red vs Blue Shitpost

At an evil lair somewhere near the beach...

(phone ringing for ten seconds)

Killgore: For the love of evil, someone get the phone!

Black Cuervo: Why don't you get it yourself?

Killgore: Insolent girl! Can you not see that I am busy with a nefarious plot to take over the world? What do I pay you for?

Black Cuervo: To go out and execute all your plans and clean up after you when they fail.

Killgore: Oh, shut up, you fool. You can't even leave this place.

Black Cuervo: Yeah. Because of one of your failed plans.

Wander: Why all this bickering, guys? Can't we all just get along?

Killgore: And answer the cursed phone!

Black Cuervo: I'm so glad I work for a toy that can afford a million doomsday devices but not an answering machine, much less cellphone coverage.

Killgore: I find you far too sarcastic for a goth girl.
