On one of the steamiest days this week, I sat down in front of the computer, discouraged about the fact that I was too overheated to do the things I'd hoped to accomplish that day. I decided instead to search for an audio file of a song I had heard for the first time at church the previous Sunday. Not only did I find the song, I found this site:
Saints Serving
It has audio files of a number of hymns (familiar and new to me), including some sung by a small a cappella choir.
I was so uplifted by this find, my feeling of being overwhelmed by heat and frustration turned to one being overwhelmed by joy, from the music and from the Lord's sweet affirmation, "I know you're tired... And I know your deepest heart."
Here are a few of the songs I bookmarked. The first one ("Lamb of God! Our Souls Adore Thee," to the tune of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus") is the song I was originally hunting for. To my delight, it was one of the vocal recordings. The others I've linked to here are vocal recordings as well.
I hope you enjoy these! :)
Lamb of God! Our Souls Adore Thee
Immanuel's Land
Jesus, I Am Resting, Resting
A Mind at Perfect Peace with God
