Discovering the Stories Behind Beloved Hymns: "Then Sings My Soul" by Robert J. Morgan



Discovering the Stories Behind Beloved Hymns: Then Sings My Soul by Robert J. Morgan

I recently came across a treasure on Amazon that I just had to share—Then Sings My Soul: 150 of the World’s Greatest Hymn Stories by Robert J. Morgan. With over one million copies sold, this book offers something truly special: the incredible stories behind some of the most beloved traditional hymns of the Christian faith.

Growing up, the music pastor at my church would often share the rich history behind the hymns we sang. Those stories brought the songs to life in a way that helped me connect more deeply with the words and the worship. But nowadays, I’ve noticed that many of these classic hymns aren’t sung as often in church services. I didn’t want my children to miss out on this beautiful heritage of faith, so I decided to take it upon myself to teach these hymns to my kids at home.

If I don’t already know a hymn, I either play it on the piano for them or find a performance on YouTube to share the music and the story. Then, we try singing it together—sometimes with squeaky voices and lots of laughter! It’s become a sweet way to connect with my children and with the faith that has been passed down through generations.

Then Sings My Soul is more than just a collection of hymn lyrics—it’s a gateway into the lives and times of the hymn writers, the struggles they faced, and the faith that inspired them to create music that continues to inspire believers worldwide. For any parent or believer who wants to enrich their worship and pass on these treasured songs, this book is an invaluable resource.

If you love hymns or want to dive into the stories behind the music you sing, I highly recommend checking it out. It’s perfect for family devotions, church groups, or just personal inspiration.

Have you ever had a favorite hymn that holds special meaning to you? I’d love to hear which ones you cherish and any stories you know behind them!

Dish Duty: The Hidden Joys of a Full Sink

Why Having Dishes in the Sink is More Important Than You Think When you walk into a kitchen and see dishes piled high in the sink, you might think, “What a mess!” However, there’s more to this scene than meets the eye. Having dishes in the sink can serve several important functions in our daily lives, especially when viewed through the lens of the Gospel. 1. **A Reflection of Real Life** Firstly, dishes in the sink are a testament to life being lived. They represent moments of connection, creativity, and sustenance—much like the communal meals shared in Scripture. Jesus often broke bread with others, illustrating the importance of fellowship. Embracing the clutter in our own lives can remind us that our homes are spaces of activity and warmth, not just perfection. 2. **Encouraging Mindfulness** Seeing dishes in the sink can serve as a prompt for mindfulness. Instead of immediately rushing to clean, take a moment to reflect on the blessings that led to those dishes. Each plate and utens...
