This is a spin off from the Thursday night Bible study we attended at our friend's church. We had a song service led by Jay F. He asked us what we thought the "top ten" songs were that we would sing in heaven!! Now there's some food for thought. Of course we are talking about Christian songs to begin with 'cause we know some songs we'd be embarassed to sing before God's throne.
Let's see----we won't be singing:
Rescue the Perishing
Almost Persuaded
Is Thy Heart Right With God
There's A Great Day Coming
I'm sure we could add to the list. But what WILL we sing? I don't know for sure except to say that we will be forever grateful to God for sending Jesus to redeem us from our sins. So here's one that would be a good one for the Top Ten:
Crown Him With Many Crowns
Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon His throne.
Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King through all eternity.
Crown Him the Son of God, before the worlds began,
And ye who tread where He hath trod, crown Him the Son of Man;
Who every grief hath known that wrings the human breast,
And takes and bears them for His own, that all in Him may rest.
Crown Him the Lord of life, who triumphed over the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife for those He came to save.
His glories now we sing, who died, and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die.

Hi Mrs. Hardin, it was so fun to get on Jesse's blog and see you'd started one!
I'd never thought about hymns in that light before... but there really are many that we won't be singing in heaven, many that focus more on life's journey than on God Himself. Thanks for sharing... Oh, and you definitely picked one of my favorites!
