A Hymn is a Slice of Faith
At Ever Praise Music we believe that a hymn is a slice of faith,
written by ordinary people, for ordinary people,
on an extraordinary journey.
God has gifted countless numbers of people with songs
in their hearts. They shared their lyrics and melodies with us
in the form of sacred hymns. Take a closer look at one of these sacred hymns and you will find encouragement for your daily
walk of faith. Peruse the titles of a sacred hymnal and you will find clues as to the slice of someone's faith journey found in the hymn.
Hymns are examples of the spiritual fruit produced by ordinary people, for ordinary people, on an extraordinary journey.
This spiritual fruit, or faith fruit, is written by everyday people
who walked where we walk, felt what we have felt,
and often did what we have done. These hymns can encourage
us on our journey, lead us around obstacles,
teach us how to serve our neighbor, help us stand
against principalities and powers,
share with us the praise and glory of the Lord, and witness
to all of us about the goodness and mercy of Almighty God.>>>

Revelation 7
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white
in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore are they before the throne
of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. 16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more;
neither shall the sun light on them,
nor any heat. 17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them,
and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes.

Hymn for the Week of April 13th 2025
April Theme: "Easter Hymns"
Lord, I want to live for Thee,
Ev’ry day and hour;
Let Thy spirit be with me,
In its saving pow’r!
Refrain:
Keep my heart, and keep my hand,
Keep my soul, I pray!
Keep my tongue to speak thy praise,
Keep me all the way!
In my weakness be my strength;
In my trials all,
Be Thou near me all the day,
Hear my ev’ry call! (Refrain)
Leave me not to walk alone,
Lest I faint and die;
Let Thy spirit go with me,
And attend my cry! (Refrain)
There is a fountain filled with blood
drawn from Emmanuel's veins;
and sinners plunged beneath that flood
lose all their guilty stains.
Lose all their guilty stains,
lose all their guilty stains;
and sinners plunged beneath that flood
lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see
that fountain in his day;
and there may I, though vile as he,
wash all my sins away.
Wash all my sins away,
wash all my sins away;
and there may I, though vile as he,
wash all my sins away.
Hymn for the Week of April 6th 2025
April Theme: "Easter Hymns"
We Are One Body
Jesus Taught Us...
...That there is evil in the world, but He didn't dwell on it.
Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly.
"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
I am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abundantly."
John 10:10
He chose the twelve disciples so that we could hear
the good news from many different perspectives.
The apostles who preached and wrote the books of the
New Testament wrote from different perspectives as well.
We should not declare one Gospel message
as superior to the others.
The Four Gospels teach us, in the broader sense,
that these eyewitnesses wrote the same message,
described the same story of the life of Jesus Christ,
but spoke to us from four different perspectives.
So many teachers of our present day, critique the good news
preached by others from a different perspective.
The Bible says "he that hath an ear, let him hear..."
The Holy Spirit is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow..>>>(read more)
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its pow’r
Till all the ransomed church of God
Are safe, to sin no more
Are safe, to sin no more
Are safe, to sin no more
Till all the ransomed church of God
Are safe, to sin no more.
Ephesians 4
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all,
and in you all.

Psalm 27
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength
of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. 4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold
the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.

March Theme: "Hymns for the Season of Lent"
I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”
Refrain:
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
For nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim;
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb. (Refrain)
And now complete in Him,
My robe, His righteousness,
Close sheltered ’neath His side,
I am divinely blest. (Refrain)
