Music Monday: It is well with my soul

Let’s kick off the week with a little bit of acapella…

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.

But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul!

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

Music Monday: Holy Spirit

Something a little different for the final Music Monday of the month. Here’s “Holy Spirit (you are welcome here)” performed (mostly) acapella by David Wesley:

There’s nothing worth more that will ever come close
No thing can compare, You’re our living hope
Your presence, Lord

I’ve tasted and seen of the sweetest of loves
Where my heart becomes free and my shame is undone
Your presence, Lord

Holy Spirit, You are welcome here
Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere
Your glory, God, is what our hearts long for
To be overcome by Your presence, Lord

I’ve tasted and seen, of the sweetest of loves
Where my heart becomes free, and my shame is undone
By Your presence, Lord

Let us become more aware of Your presence
Let us experience the glory of Your goodness

See you in January…

I’m going to be taking a bit of a sabbatical from blogging.

I’m going to take a break for all of December. Advent will be beginning and I think I could do with a bit of time off. Also, the next few weeks are going to be rather busy, involving a lot of travel, as well as the wedding of my housemate, Nathan.

I’ve got a couple of special things planned for the New Year, but if there are any particular topics you’d like me to tackle when I get back, please feel free to leave a comment below.

If you’d still like something to read every day next month, simply “Like” my Facebook page. Each morning I’ll still be sharing an old post (“Classic Pilgrim”) which should then appear in your newsfeed. See you in January 🙂
