Free Music: Page CXVI
We’ve talked about the band Page CXVI on the Emmanuel blog before. They take old hymns and put them to fresh arrangements, breathing new life into them. They have a gorgeous and powerful sound which is well worth checking out. And now you can. For free! They’re giving away their entire back catalogue for free throughout […]
New Song: Bless The Lord, O My Soul
On Sunday, we’re singing a new song called Bless The Lord, O My Soul, AKA 10,000 Reasons. It’s a fantastic song and this is a good week to learn it. We’re finishing off Jonah this week and in chapter 4 Jonah complains to God that He is so infuriatingly “slow to anger and abounding in […]
New Song: All Glory Be To Christ
It’s 2013! What could be more New Year-ish than singing Auld Lang Syne? Maybe you had a bit of a singsong earlier this week. What a cracking tune. It’s good at the start of a new year to be reminded that although the years come and go, and little people like us rise and fall, […]
New Song: By Faith
Sometimes when I ask my mum whether a jumper she’s wearing is new, she’ll reply, “New to me.” Translation: I got it in a charity shop. In the same way, this song is new… to us! We sang it for the first time on Sunday and people seemed to really like it! But it’s taken […]
New Song: Arise, My Soul, Arise
As we’ve looked at Hebrews this term, we’ve been encouraged to “draw near to God” through Jesus our great high priest lots of times. Last Sunday, Tim Dennis encouraged us with the truth that Jesus’ sacrifice is enough to bring us to God AND to clean our consciences. And so this Sunday we’re learning a […]
The Old Songs Are The Best…
We regularly sing new songs at Emmanuel. And sometimes those new songs are old songs. Ever since Jesus burst out of the tomb, Christians have been singing hymns and songs. Even before that, we had the Psalms. There are centuries and centuries of great songs to sing. (Which is good news since we’ll be singing […]
New Song For Sunday: All I Have Is Christ
Sometimes people comment that we are always learning new songs at Emmanuel. And that’s a really good thing! The psalms keep telling us to sing a new song to God and that one sign of having been rescued by God is that He puts a new song in our mouths (Psalm 40). So we’re learning […]
“Oh! Great Is Our God!” (free song)
It’s Abraham’s dedication on Sunday so I’ve been thinking a lot about how to be a godly dad to him. The Psalms say that one generation will commend God’s works to another. It’s a vital role that we tell the next generation all about Jesus and all He’s done for us. That’s why we have […]
Salvation’s Song
Here’s a video of the new song we sang yesterday called Salvation’s Song. Loved it! Our version was minus the violin solo. Maybe next time… The lyrics are below. Loved before the dawn of time. Chosen by my Maker, hidden in my Saviour: I am His and He is mine, Cherished for eternity. When I’m […]
