Hymn Lines, Hymn Titles

There are good hymns, and there are poorly written hymns.  And there's "Yoda's favorite hymn..."

Just 'cause it's a hymn, doesn't make it holy.

I laughed out loud at the awkward hymn lines post from blogger David Good.  Here's a second he's posted: Bad Hymn Titles

"Bad" - now, wait a second...that's pretty harsh!

I'm slapping my knee and saying - "whooo!  that's good!  ha ha ha!  that's good."

And I, one day, may even write one of these "Bad Hymns." Not what i'm shooting for - but it will be worth it for the practice, no?  Just don't publish it in a hymnal.

P.S. - I must note, he mentions "Supper Time" in the latter post - which is a family favorite.  I've actually played it...

    Glad you enjoyed my poking a little fun at some hymns. Truth be told, I am a real lover of good hymns. I will have to come up with a list of bad worship song titles just to be fair:)

All Is For Your Glory - Chords, in process

Update: August 4, 2012 Here's the most recent edition.  We sang this in our local church gathering last week...so, it's been proven to work.  Enjoy.  I've included the bass walk in the verses.  If you have that low - B string...it brings that extra emphasis in the end... Chorus: D/B                  D/A All is for Your glo-ry D/B                  D/A All is for Your na-ame D/B                  D/A All is for Your glo-ry D/B                   That in all things                                    D/A You would have the first place               D/B That in all things                         ...

UPDATED 2021! Free your Freegal Music - Freegal App to iTunes [Your Music or MP3 Player]

UDPATE 1/21 OK - well, out of more responsibility  I had to figure out a legal  way to put mp3's on my son's simple mp3 player he got for Christmas this year (it's a $30 one from amazon...) Advertised as a kid-friendly player, I knew the features included a 'drag and drop' feature for mp3's.   Now that Apple has gone the way of 'music' the instructions below (original post!) are basically ancient history, but I'll leave them here for anyone who might want to refer to them. New instructions for 'freeing your freegal' music are as follows. First, I am assuming that you are using an app on a mobile device to 'download' the music to that device. 1. download music (3-7 songs a week for most folks on Freegal) to your mobile device. 2. connect your mobile device to a real computer  (sits on a desk or your lap, you know). 3. open up Finder or Open Device (depends on your platform) 4. find "Files" (on iPhone) 5. find the Freegal app ...

Brandon Hampton - Perfected in Love Chords

Image
Hi there. A great guitar teacher told me that the best way to improve "play by ear" (or ear training) was to transcribe songs.  So, that is what I've been practicing.   When I find a song I like that isn't really out there on the interwebs, I like to share my work in transcribing. Here's Mr. Brandon Hampton's song "Perfected in Love" As with many IHOP-community songs, there's the 4 tags at the end at your disposal...make sure to develop your own.  Same chords repeated. P.S. - Brandon, thanks for leading from electric.  Me gusta. Perfected In Love Brandon Hampton Key: B (figure out the melody played on guitar... it’s not too tough...  hint: B major scale, begin on F#) intro E - F# - G#m E - F# - G#m E - F# - G#m E - F# - G#m - B Oh...oh...oh... verse E - F# - G#m Surely goodness E - F# - G#m And mercy follow me E - F# - G#m - B All the days of my life E - F# - G#m Before...
