This is a place where I share contemplative songs about God and His promises for us. I cannot wait to have eternal songs and everlasting joy one day!
"And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away." Isaiah 35:10.

We Are Children of the King | Guest Singers | Songs and Everlasting Joy
Every single one of us are children of the King. It's an amazing concept, adoption by the King of the universe. We are His children!
There's nothing more wonderful than actual children singing about being children of the King. And, this is what this song is about. The lyrics strongly apply to adults, as well. But, especially to children. In our work and in our play - we want Jesus to stay with us. We want to strive to be true and faithful to Him. Then, we can sing, "We are children of the King!"
I'm not a huge fan, in general, of the modern worship music for children. And, this song, perhaps, illustrates why. In this hymn, precise goals and strivings are outlined to children of the King (young and old ones). In Verse 2, it says "May we in Thy strength subdue evil tempers, words untrue, thoughts impure and deeds unkind - all things hateful to Thy mind. Then we truthfully can sing - we are children of the King." There's so little in today's society, and even in Christian society, that suggests that children can succeed, with God's help, in subduing undesirable traits of character. I have, too often, heard behaviour described as - "That's just what they are like." But, with God's help, even little children can avoid these behaviours so hateful to Him. With lyrics like this, children can tangibly recognise what it is they are to strive to leave behind. There's nothing airy fairy or fluffy about this. It's true, practical and pure.
Verse 3 goes on to develop this concept fully -
"Children of the King are we, may we loyal to Him be.
Try to please Him every day. In our work and in our play."
Instead of gratifying self and our selfish desires, here we are directed to be loyal to the King and strive to please Him in all we do. It's a noble striving for young ones and old ones alike. Instead of conforming to the world and it's self obsessed actions, loyalty to Jesus - that's what matters.
Thank you to my children for singing this song. This Songs and Everlasting Joy version was adapted from a special recording the children completed for their little cousin at his dedication service. It was a lovely day, which we were miraculously able to share with them in person also. We can all rededicate our lives to Jesus while singing this song, as well.
Children of the King (In Our Work and In Our Play)
Verse 1
In our work and in our play,
Jesus, ever with us stay;
May be always strive to be
True and faithful unto Thee.
Then we truthfully can sing,
We are children of the King.
Verse 2
May we in Thy strength subdue
Evil tempers, words untrue,
Thoughts impure, and deeds unkind,
All things hateful to Thy mind.
Then we truthfully can sing,
We are children of the King.
Verse 3
Children of the King are we!
May we loyal to Him be;
Try to please Him every day,
In our work and in our play.
Then we truthfully can sing,
We are children of the King.

The Lord Is My Light - never was a truer word spoken. We have no light but through Him. And, in Him is "no darkness at all!" 1 John 1:5 - "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all." What a promise. What assurance. There are so many more verses about the Lord being LIGHT. I just had to list some of them below: ...
Jesus was Slain for Me at Calvary | Songs and Everlasting Joy
Переглядів 3,7 тис.5 місяців тому
Jesus was slain for me - and for you - at Calvary. What does this mean to you? Are we so familiar with this concept that it means nothing to us anymore? Have we heard about it too much and take it for granted? May we guard our hearts against such criminal indifference. May the sacrifice of Calvary always mean as much to us as it did when we first heard it. What an amazing price Lord Jesus paid ...

Do you ever feel weighed down? It might not even be with sorrow or hardship. It might just be with responsibilities - ones that you can't escape from - or commitments you have to keep. Either way, whatever your burden, Jesus would love to lift it from your shoulders and share the load. All we have to do is let Him do so! May we choose the lighter way! Having had a very busy few weeks, I am late...

I think the writer of the hymn for today tried to capture the angels in heaven exclaiming, "Holy, holy, holy" (Isaiah 6:3, Revelation 4:8) and, of course, it doesn't come close to what it would sound like. But, the writer does use beautiful descriptions to help our minds to imagine a place where all we want to do is say, "Holy, holy, holy," to our Lord God Almighty. This was another request and...

There are so many names of Jesus, but one of the most beautiful would have to be "Rose of Sharon." The concepts of blooming, spreading fragrance and beauty, and healing are such blessed ones to meditate on. May our lives be a sweet fragrance to those around us. May the beauty of our characters, because we love Jesus and have Him residing in our hearts, shine forth to the world and give them hop...

If there's one thing that we fallen humans rely on, it's the mercy of God. I know we cannot comprehend the complexity - the depth of this mercy. Even me, He wants to save. I think we all can relate to the lyrics in this song. May we accept that divine mercy that is there for us! Here's another song I had not heard before! Thank you to the lovely listener who requested it. May you all be blessed...

Although Songs and Everlasting Joy has had a slow start to 2024, what a beautiful and fitting theme to dwell upon at the start of a new year. May we all, this year, become more like Jesus. May He dwell with us - deep in our hearts. May He make us gentle as doves, poor in spirit, rich in faith, with our wills subdued to His will. May He dwell in us. Thank you to the very patient listener who req...

This uncommonly sung (in my experience) carol is enriched with deep meaning for us today. Each verse ending talks about how we can relate to the experiences of the wisemen who visited Jesus all those years ago. May we also be led to Jesus; may we also seek Him and His mercy; may we also bring our costliest gifts to Him. Then, the final verse is all about us. Keep us in the narrow way, Lord and ...
There's a Song in the Air | Songs and Everlasting Joy
Переглядів 3 тис.8 місяців тому
It's that time again when the world thinks of Jesus' birth. I've mentioned it before, but I do believe the greatest threat to us from the commercialism of Jesus' Birth, even more than the traditions and other concepts that have crept in, is the temptation to only think of His birth once a year, when the world does. This concept is one that I believe we should always be thinking of and I often s...

How wonderful that we have a Friend, oh such a Friend as our Saviour, Jesus Christ! The words of this hymn are so precious and meaningful. There's themes of His love for us, the sacrifice He made to save us, giving our all to Him, having His support on our journey to heaven, working now and resting eternally, guidance, wisdom, defence, nothing being able to separate us from Him. What a thorough...

What a precious song this is! I had forgotten about it and saw it in my hymnal when flicking through yesterday. It ties in all the lovely truths from childhood - "Jesus loves me this I know" and speaks of putting Him first each day. It has helped in a current challenge I'm having with scheduling and fitting everything into my day. I simply have to early seek the Saviour. May we all put Him trul...

What comfort there is in the 23rd Psalm! Countless people over the ages have received peace from the Lord through that inspired piece of writing. So many people have put it to music and this is one of my favourite versions. In every time of life, the Lord is our Shepherd. Even when we cannot see what will come, we can trust Him to lead us. Perspective is also important in this life, because we ...

This song is such a prayer to our creator and Lord - my favourite line being: Let every word and each desire and all my days be Thine. Let it be, Lord! May we all strive daily for this. I know I don't always let the Lord help me to live His life in me. May we join in praying for each other around the world that we will let Him do this wonderful thing for us! An update - the astute of you will n...

This lovely hymn is the deepest prayer a parent, or anyone who works with children, can pray. Please Lord, lead my children to Thee. As Christian parents, it's a topic seldom far from the forefront of our thoughts. Prayer is such a powerful tool in the Christian parent's toolbox. Sometimes, it's the only tool we have. So, parents and those who work with children, pray this prayer often. Then tr...

Thank You! I was wondering when we were going to hear those special “guest artists” again!. What beautiful voices and it’s a blessing to hear them sing this song, such a tender age of innocence. Praying that they will go on to trust their mother’s Saviour and serve their father’s Lord.
Amen and amen! That is my prayer also. Through all my failings, sometimes I don’t see how it can be possible. But with God, all things are possible. Praise His name!

Praise God you enjoyed the music! Sorry to disappoint (or perhaps it does not) but the voices are all the same voice, recorded on different tracks to provide harmonies. May we all continue to be drawn nearer to Jesus each day. He is aways drawing us to Him and if we don't resist, we will end up at His throne of mercy. God bless!
I am listening to this song, NEVER PART AGAIN in memory of Mrs. Dorothy Bailey that just yesterday went to be with her Lord and Savior, JESUS CHRIST! 8/26/24 RSM
