I was the only one clapping, even though I told them that we were going to stop and thank God right there. I guess that group didn't feel the connection to those words quite like I did.Shane Coffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561723074209922386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11059473.post-18739155619129199072007-08-18T08:27:00.000-05:002007-08-18T08:27:00.000-05:00Talk about a coincidence! Just yesterday I was on ...Talk about a coincidence! Just yesterday I was on another blog talking about the same song...and the same lines of that song!<BR/><BR/>Only I was talking about the first time I heard that stanza and started getting a little uncomfortable. You see, because it was the first time I had heard the song I had no idea where the lyrics were going. All I heard was:<BR/><BR/><I>My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought</I><BR/><BR/>Wha??!! The glorious thought of my SIN?!!!<BR/><BR/>But then came:<BR/><BR/><I>My sin, not in part but the whole</I><BR/><BR/>HOLD ON A MINUTE!!! I can't sing this song!!! There is nothing glorious about the WHOLE OF MY SIN!!!<BR/><BR/>But I breathed easier when the lyrics corrected my thinking with:<BR/><BR/><I>Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more</I><BR/><BR/>Aaahhhhh...that's better! What a great song. And it has been a favorite ever since.<BR/><BR/>Great post bro.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11059473.post-45418744023759562392007-08-17T16:28:00.000-05:002007-08-17T16:28:00.000-05:00One of my dad's favorite songs is "O Come Angel Ba...One of my dad's favorite songs is "O Come Angel Band." When I was growing up we also had a singing during the 5th Sundays and without fail dad would lead this song. He didn't get as animated as your dad, but I could tell he sang it from his heart.<BR/><BR/>It was years before I found out that this was one of his favorites and I never have asked him why. Thanks for the post Franklin. I'm going to call him right now and asking him why.One Observationisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15636287686320673807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11059473.post-33153954041579349402007-08-16T07:53:00.000-05:002007-08-16T07:53:00.000-05:00I have to say that I love the same song as your da...I have to say that I love the same song as your dad, but for a different reason. That was my grandmother's favorite song. She had asked my mom and her siblings to sing that song at her funeral. I have felt sonnected to that song for years before that, but I cannot sing it to this day without crying! My mom and aunts and uncle sang that song without a single tear. The strength that God provided them was unreal. They really wanted to be able to do it because it was their mother's wish. That 2nd verse is so powerful! I think if we truly got the message of it and how it affects our life, we would all be singing it just like your dad!carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02708143258251399434noreply@blogger.com
