Music Monday: It is well

Leave a comment

Today’s music is a modern take on an old hymn. This is Austine Stone’s version of the hymn “It is well”:

When peace like a river attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well with my soul

It is well
With my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought
My sin, not in part, but the whole
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord oh my soul

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight
The cloud be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend
Even so, it is well with my soul

It is well
With my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

New Podcast on the way…

Cheers

The above picture was taken on a trip to Oxford I made a few years ago. I am standing inside “The Eagle and Child”, the preferred pub of “The Inklings”, the literary club to which C.S. Lewis and J.R.R Tolkien belonged.

In the next week or so I will be launching a new podcast. If you’ve been enjoying my other podcast, The Restless Heart, don’t worry, that will continue as normal. This new podcast will be called “The Eagle and Child”, named after that Oxford pub. Together with my friend Matt, we will work through C.S. Lewis’ book, “Mere Christianity”, chapter-by-chapter.

So, if you’ve ever wanted to become more familiar with C.S. Lewis, I’d invite you to buy a copy of Mere Christianity and join us each week as we discuss one of Lewis’ most famous works. If you have an questions or comments, please tweet us at @PintsWithJack.

Matt and I had a test recording last week and, as I listen to what we recorded, I’m really excited for the road ahead…

I love to read, but I find it hard to carve out the time on a regular basis. However, I have about an hour a day which I spend commuting to and from work. I therefore use this time to catch up on podcasts and audio books. If you like the idea of listening to great works of Christian literature but don’t want to incur the cost of buying these audio books, I would invite you to check out LibriVox, where all the books are free…

Following the recent events in Charlottesville, Meg Hunter-Kilmer‘s latest podcast episode addresses the issue of racism. Meg talks with her little nephew about this very sensitive subject and tells some lovely saint stories along the way.

For those of you who have little kids, I think this is a really great way to talk with them about some of the things currently happening in the United States.
