Hello beautiful people! I trust you're doing well and have enjoyed — or are still enjoying — the weekend. On my end, at the time of writing this, the weekend is almost done — or let me just say it's done already because I've already retired to bed.
Enough of that...
Do you sing or listen to hymns?
Do you have a favourite hymn?
I don't know how I grew to completely fall in love with the "Showers of Blessing" hymn. Mehn! Whenever that hymn comes up, there's a way it captures my heart, soul, spirit, and body, and throws them into a realm I lack words to explain.
To be sincere, it's not even mainly the lyrics — because I don’t know much of the deeper lyrics by heart. I only sing those deep parts whenever I’m reading from the hymn book. But the chorus and the simpler verses? Yes, I know those very well.
Whenever a church service is coming up and I know that the hymn is going to be sung, I always look forward to it. I always anticipate it and get very thirsty for it.
You want to talk about the sound intro? If this hymn is sung where good instrumentalists are present, the intro — especially the keyboard sound — can send someone to heaven. That keyboard intro does it for me. So good and heavenly!
And what about the human voice bringing out the chorus? OMG! The feeling is immeasurable!
In my church today, we had it as the hymn of the day, and it felt so refreshing, sweet, and ear-tingling to listen to. I didn’t want the hymn session to end. I wanted it to last longer — in fact, the whole day — but it was brought to an end so the church program could continue with the other scheduled events.
Thanks for reading.
