"What is Your Favorite Song in 'Ways of the Lord'?"

This week we asked five people from the church in Jelsum, Netherlands what their favorite song is in Ways of the Lord.

Bend me, mold me;

Help me Thy Word to obey.

Bend me, mold me

Into Thine image, I pray.

 

By Johan O. Smith

 

This song is really good at explaining how God works with us.  I know that it is only through God’s work with me that something glorious can be formed.

 
 
 

Riekie, 65 years old

WL 134

 

There is a life by man uncomprehended;

It doth rejoice in judgement from God’s hand.

A life for those who’ve turned away from folly,

Who ‘gainst deceit and emptiness will stand.

 

By Nils Risnes

 

This song gives me a glimpse into a life I have been called to and long for.  The result is a delightful and happy life.

 

Mindert, 66 years old

WL 348

 

The spirit’s oneness opens doors to heaven.

It’s only gained when “self” you sacrifice.

Keep pure your heart by purging out sin’s leaven.

Woe unto those who will not pay the price.

 

By B.W. Landgraff

 

I have experienced this.  It is a comfort to win this oneness.  I have to give up my own human will, but it is worth the sacrifice!

 
 

Corrie, 33 years old

WL 365

 

Word of the cross can set you free;

‘Tis able to resolve life’s many problems.

‘Twill make you free, and happy you will be.

The cross e’er our song shall be.

 

Aksel J. Smith

 

What we sing is true!  I have personally experienced this.  The cross truly sets us free from everything that plagues us.

 

Durk, 23 years old

WL 444

 

When we’re hated by others, we know it’s our chance

To show forth only goodness and love.

With this weapon of love we with boldness advance.

“To love first” is the love from above.

 

Friedrich Holzwarth

 

Always stand fast in the faith!  Even if others wrong me, I can bless them in return.
