Thanks for your concern. But I started this thread to celebrate the older hymns. They are available in the public domain for free. You don't even have to get permission to print the lyrics. There is no money-making involved. They are the ones I grew up singing as a child in church. The lyrics of hymns are beautiful and rich in doctrinal truth. The idea is to meditate upon them and honor the Lord. The purpose of this thread is to lift up the Name of Jesus Christ. Perhaps you have one you would like to add so we can ponder on the words and praise the Lord? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know and I wasn't speaking to you directly. I simply decided that it was a good place to post a general comment on those who are making "Gospel" music and big profits singing and selling it. I've checked and from what I can see none of these groups or publishers is doing anything other than making themselves money. I can't find one that even tells where all the profits from their music goes but I noticed that none are registered as a non profit so as to take advantage of the tax laws if they are indeed using the money to do God's will.

Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged Take it to the Lord in prayer Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness Take it to the Lord in prayer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is my strength from day to day; Without Him I would fall. When I am sad, to Him I go; No other one can cheer me so. When I am sad, He makes me glad; He's my Friend. Jesus is all the world to me, My Friend in trials sore. I go to Him for blessings, and He gives them o'er and o'er. He sends the sunshine and the rain; He sends the harvest's golden grain: Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain-- He's my Friend. Jesus is all the world to me, And true to Him I'll be. Oh, how could I this Friend deny When He's so true to me? Following Him I know I'm right; He watches o'er me day and night. Following Him by day and night, He's my Friend. Jesus is all the world to me, I want no better friend. I trust Him now; I'll trust Him when Life's fleeting days shall end. Beautiful life with such a Friend; Beautiful life that has no end! Eternal life, eternal joy, He's my Friend. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refrain: Some through the waters, some through the flood, Some through the fire, but all through the blood; Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song, In the night season and all the day long. Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright, God leads His dear children along; Sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night, God leads His dear children along. Though sorrows befall us and Satan oppose, God leads His dear children along; Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes, God leads His dear children along. Away from the mire, and away from the clay, God leads His dear children along; Away up in glory, eternity’s day, God leads His dear children along. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows. (Matthew 10:29-31) Don't be afraid His eye is on the sparrow You are in your father's care Continually held in His gaze Ever before His face His Eye Is On The Sparrow 1 Why should I feel discouraged? Why should the shadows come? Why should my heart be lonely and long for heaven and home, when Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is he: his eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches me; his eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches me. Refrain: I sing because I’m happy, (I’m happy) I sing because I’m free, (I’m free) for his eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches me. 2 “Let not your heart be troubled,” his tender word I hear, and resting on his goodness, I lose my doubts and fears; though by the path he leadeth but one step I may see: his eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches me; his eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches me. [Refrain] 3 Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise, when song gives place to sighing, when hope within me dies, I draw the closer to him; from care he sets me free: his eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches me; his eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches me.

[Refrain] I love that! I’ve not heard of that hymn, but the lyrics are wonderful. I read a verse yesterday that said “We can’t see Him, but He sees us.” The lyrics to your hymn reminded me of it. And I love the picture of that cute sparrow! God bless, Becky. X 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
