Music Monday: The Lord is my salvation

Leave a comment

This is “The Lord is my salvation” by Shane & Shane:

[Verse 1]
The grace of God has reached for me
And pulled me from the raging sea
And I am safe on this solid ground
The Lord is my salvation

[Verse 2]
I will not fear when darkness falls
His strength will help me scale these walls
I’ll see the dawn of the rising sun
The Lord is my salvation

[Chorus]
Who is like the Lord our God
Strong to save, faithful in love
My debt is paid and the victory won
The Lord is my salvation

[Verse 3]
My hope is hidden in the Lord
He flow’rs each promise of His Word
When winter fades I know spring will come
The Lord is my salvation

[Bridge]
Glory be to God the Father
Glory be to God the Son
Glory be to God the Spirit
The Lord is our salvation

C.S. Lewis Recording

Leave a comment

I often meet people who think that C.S. Lewis was English. He wasn’t, he was actually born and raised in Belfast. However, if anyone has heard one of the few remaining recordings of Lewis, they could easily be forgiven for this mistake since he has a remarkably “plummy” English accent.

Below you’ll find YouTube videos containing all the remaining audio of Lewis which I can find…

C.S. Lewis on Confession

One comment

In my recent appearance on The Catholic Man Show, I mentioned that C.S. Lewis went to weekly confession to an Anglican priest. I thought I’d share one of his letters today where he points out the value of confessing our sins out loud:

…there is the gain in self-knowledge: most of [us] have never really faced the facts about ourselves until we uttered them aloud in plain words, calling a spade a spade. I certainly feel I have profited enormously by the practice.

Not only is Confession biblical, it’s also good psychology 🙂

Music Monday: I will wait for you

Leave a comment

The group “Shane & Shane” do a fantastic job on this song, “I will wait for you”, which is based on one of my favourite Psalms, Psalm 130…

Out of the depths I cry to You
In darkest places I will call
Incline Your ear to me anew
And hear my cry for mercy Lord

Were You to count my sinful ways
How could I come before Your throne
Yet full forgiveness meets my gaze
I stand redeemed by grace alone

I will wait for You, I will wait for You
On Your word I will rely
I will wait for You, surely wait for You
Till my soul is satisfied

So put Your hope in God alone
Take courage in His power to save
Completely and forever won
By Christ emerging from the grave

Now He has come to make a way
And God Himself has paid the price
That all who trust in Him today
Find healing in His sacrifice
That all who trust in Him today
Find healing in His sacrifice

Oh I will wait for You, I will wait for You
Through the storm and through the night
I will wait for You, surely wait for You
For Your love is my delight
