After my morning walk with all the kids to the bus stop I am filled with energy. Lungs full of fresh air I load up the audio clip I found and practice my new (well, new to me) hymn.<\/p>\n

Check out my previous post to learn more about where THE HYMN PROJECT <\/a>started.<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>MY METHOD_______________________<\/p>\n

My method is simple, flip through the old hymnal I have till I spot one I don’t know. Once I have a look at the lyrics and find something that moves me I look it up on a couple different sites I know of that have the audio and the lyrics so I can learn the tune (I can’t read music). I then sing it through about once a day so I know it well by the end of the month.<\/p>\n

MY CHOICE________________________<\/p>\n

I chose from the peace and joy section of my hymnal for January’s hymn and came up with ‘Loved with Everlasting Love<\/span>‘, written by James Mountain<\/a>, please click on the authors name to link to an article from a favorite blog of mine on the author. I have to say, the authors name caught my interest too. I hadn’t heard of James Mountain before.<\/p>\n

MY JOY___________________________<\/p>\n

This is proving to be a lovely goal and interesting project for me. I grew up only knowing a few hymns. I think choruses where far more common in my church background. I am finding many hymns move me because of their wonderful poetic lyrics! I also love history so looking up the hymns and authors has been very enjoyable for me too!<\/p>\n

Here is the site I found the audio for this hymn; http:\/\/www.hymnal.net\/hymn.php\/h\/284<\/a> . I just noticed this site also has an option to get the guitar chords… hmmm… maybe this will encourage me to pick up my guitar and start playing again… maybe…<\/p>\n

Heaven above is softer blue,<\/span>
Earth around is sweeter green;<\/span>
Something lives in every hue<\/span>
Christless eyes have never seen:<\/span>
Birds with gladder songs o’erflow,<\/span>
Flow’rs with deeper beauties shine,<\/span>
Since I know, as now I know,<\/span>
I am His, and He is mine.<\/span><\/div>\n
