First hymn - David Hildreth  "Holy Holy Lord God Almighty"
"Holy - Holy - Holy - Lord God Almighty-says it all,  with each verse then delivering a meaningful message - concluding with merciful and mighty- "God in three persons, blessed Trinity."  Certainly fulfilling and uplifting as we join together in singing it.


Second hymn - Rita Carey "Seek ye First the Kingdom of God"
I love the joyous "alleluia's" in this hymn, particularly when it is sung in a round.  It sounds rather angelic, with the message that if you put God first in your life this joy will come to you.


Third Hymn - Elise Augustine "The Hazelnut Song"
I really like the song because it is beautiful and calm. Cameron sent a video recording of it to me.  My dad likes it too. 

 


Fourth hymn - Cameron & Jessica "Oyster Shell"
"Oyster Shell" is by the Porter's Gate, a Christian Music Collective, which makes some of our favourite music. This song was released just this year. We love it because it reminds us of our wedding, as one of the readings was the parable of the mustard seed and the yeast, and we used oyster shells as part of our decorations. We also just love the invitation to "find heaven in an oyster shell," "a sparrow's nest," and "a loaf of bread"... Where else might we find heaven all around us?


Fifth hymn - Simon Charles "All Gory Laud & Honour"
I chose this hymn because it's become one of mt favourite hymns after I heard it being sung here in St. John's! I love how Cameron plays this song with such verve on his ukelele. 


Bonus - Karen Brumpton "Ian Brown's Lord's Prayer"
I just love this version.  It makes my heart sing
