Wallace,

I haven’t written a tune because a fantastic modern setting already exists at http://www.igracemusic.com/hymnbook/hymns/l03.html

This song captures so much of who Jesus is, and in such a short concise way! Also fun to sing. Thanks so much. Gloucester Ma.

I worship in the cccc Congregational church and had never heard of “Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder”. What a blessing the words are. I searched the internet to find a recording, but could find few. Has David ever put these words to music? Thanks again for sharing your musical gift with all of us, David.

Pastor, worshiper, songwriter,

I came upon your site looking for the tunes to some hymns you either wrote or revised. But God knew I needed more: a reminder of His attributes as demonstrated in Christ, and our purpose as an extension of Christ’s gospel, “To make Son-worshipers out of Son-haters.”

I had an unloving exchange with my 19 year old son , James, this morning that would have been avoided had Christ’s patience been in play in my heart earlier. May the Lord be glorified as I seek reconciliation. Thank you, for your faithfulness in producing gospel centered worship. May His word go forth and be multiplied in the hearts of His hearers. Denise

Just found your site as I was searching for the tune for “I Lay My Sins on Jesus.”
Thankful to have found your site. Will be coming back often.
Soli Deo Gloria!

Comment on Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken by Robert

H-m-m… Well, yes, the author does look forward to his heavenly rest. But I think an equally important theme of the hymn is the presence of the Lord in his life, here and now (cf. stanza two, “God and heaven”). In stanza one he speaks of following the Lord who is his “all,” and in stanza three it’s “Thy breast,” stanza four, “Thy love,” and in stanza five he depends upon the leading of God’s hand to get him to the heavenly kingdom.

If you enjoy reading about our hymns and their authors, I invite you to check out my daily blog on the subject, Wordwise Hymns.

Comment on I Surrender All by David Ward

Billy,

I’m not sure where you’re getting the idea from these lyrics that it is possible to resist grace. I think the song does a nice job of presenting the mysterious tension between God’s sovereignty and irresistible grace and our responsibility. In verses 2 and 3 the author asks Jesus to “make me Thine,” “Let me feel,” and “Fill me with thy power.” Once Jesus does that, we are free to surrender ourselves to Him.

“I surrender all” … one of the definitions of “surrender” is yield - cease opposition; stop fighting.

What happen to irresistble grace? It sounds to me that in this song, you can resist grace and finally give in…

Just my two cents…
