      You got it, Kathleen. That's how it works.
      Small miracles like this are all around us - thousands of them.
      The big miracles are more tricky, apparently.
      Maybe millions or billions have to want something at the same time? I don't know.
      Tomorrow we are supposed to pray (again) to bring the Holy Spirit into whatever soul Putin has left.
      This is Lent and we are to pray for our enemies, as well as those we love.
      It's hard so that makes it a perfect task for Lent.
      I don't see any other method working, but I DO have faith in that one.

    Picture the scene if you will - An 8 year old boy sat in assembly at a Methodist school in Preston Lancashire. The teachers and some of my friends are attempting to sing this wonderful hymn but I am just staring down at the ground. The song is gently flowing along and arrives at the lyric/ melody " AND GIVE US WE PRAY" Something wonderful and I guess spiritual happened inside that little boys head. What was that wonderful sound I just heard!? I am now 49 and this year been offered a publishing deal for my song Over My Head.
    What an amazing God giving blessing music is👋

      Hard to imagine that assemblies did indeed take place every day, with all of us (1000?) getting together for prayers and hymns (of course kids had the right to be excused even then). No kids would ever have admitted to liking singing hymns, I guess; but there were definitely some that we sang with more gusto than others. Like this one. And as we did this in comprehensives in the 70s we were just following in the Muscular Christinaity footsteps that had for many decades prepared pupils at schools of all kinds in Britain for the idea of sacrifice in the name of something bigger and greater than ourselves, transcending beyond what we saw as our humdrum lives. The words never left me, and neither - really - did the approach. So Britain is full of atheists who in many ways act in a more Christlike way than they ever realise.
      It's OK.

    I am not exactly a Christian.. I have more of an open mind in terms that we can learn truths from all religions but as a child I was many times cast as Mary in our Christmas school plays and I absolutely loved to sing songs such as glory to god on the highest! I would say that I am an ever hopeful agnostic; but I love this hymn!

    • @sidpheasant7585
      @sidpheasant7585 2 роки тому +1

      I would have agreed with you for most of my life, until just over a year ago. "Born again" is never a term I would have had for myself, but it DID happen - very tangibly. My story is not untypical. I was overwhelmed by a scary-looking diagnosis, and asked - not to be healed - but to be cleansed of my sins, which (just as the BOOK says) became unbearable all of a sudden. And it really, really happened. Since then I have been showing all the signs that everybody talks about - I read The Bible and kiss the pages when I read what Jesus and St. Paul and James and others wrote or said, I understand things and see things and find there are signs all around us. Yes, maybe I have gone mad, but boy is it ever a wonderful kind of madness - so productive, so meaningful, so connected. I have 500 things to do now (pressing emails included), yet my joy is to write to you instead - just as the wonderful Paraclete would have me do. And - despite the fact that I shall be giving away some of my love to you - I know that I shall have more than I had before by the time I finish writing. That's the miracle. I sure do recommend it, Teresa. I see the Spirit in music - certainly not every piece has it, but some REALLY do. Try "Hand of Fate 1 and 2" from the divinely-inspired movie "Signs" with Mel Gibson. Maybe the music starts of scary (as suits the film), but stick with it - the bit that accompanies the characters realising that they are part of God's great plan in which nothing is by chance has - many people feel - THE SAME EFFECT ON US IN THE AUDIENCE AS WE LISTEN. Just exactly the way the ever-resourceful Spirit operates! Multi-level, innovative, meaningful, forgiving, connecting. "Signs" was made to try and help people get back after 9/11 - of course the Holy Spirit would not miss such a chance, and did not do so...

So your explanation might help me understand more fully ... The Holy Spirit's activity. I do know Crockett is an Irish name, and Slane is an Irish tune and name ... meaning the Holy and healthy well...

    The Oboe intro sounds like "Belfast child." This is the original version of the hymn and I prefer it to Be thou my vision.
