]]> Comment on So What’s *Your* Favorite Hymn? by Daniel Hautamaki http://www.resproj.com/?p=1171&cpage=1#comment-405 Daniel Hautamaki Fri, 16 Dec 2011 03:49:33 +0000 http://www.resproj.com/?p=1171#comment-405 Favorite? Wow, that's hard. Probably "God of Earth and Outer Space." Ok, no not really. If I had to pick one, it would be "There is a Fountain Filled with Blood." Maybe it's the mix of gothic content with that old jangling American camp tune that still stands the test of time. Or the confidence and victory in words like "Thy precious blood shall never lose its pow'r till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more." I can't put my finger on it. I just know that as I'm brought back to this tune over and over when I thumb through the old Baptism hymnal I have from the church I grew up in, I'm reminded that "redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die." And that's powerful enough for me. Favorite? Wow, that’s hard. Probably “God of Earth and Outer Space.”
