I wouldn't consider myself "hip" at all - but I burned one of those mp3 cd's (you know the ones that can hold a bunch of songs) with old school hymns. There is SUCH a long list of hymns that I love. I sing Amazing Grace and Victory in Jesus to my son... I have since he was born (he will be 1 year this month) and they have always calmed him. Jenni –

Be Thou My Vision – all the verses are beautiful, but I especially love #4 –

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art

And I only have 2 versions on my ipod so I guess I’m not quite as hip as you!

I grew up Catholic so there are a lot of hymns we would sing that mean so much to me. I always loved hymns because the musical nature of them would really hit me in a way a simple sermon or lecture couldn't. There is one in particular that still sticks with me that we would sing around Easter called "Were you there"?... "Were you there when they nailed him to the tree? Were you there when they nailed him to the tree? Oh oh oh, Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble... Were you there when the nailed him to the tree?" There was something so soothing to me about it. Great post! And I don't care about being cool :) Hey Jenni!

Great post!

I was raised Lutheran so hymns evoke such beautiful memories within my soul. Here are a few of my faves (and each have diff. cathartic meanings- most involve my grandmother's soprano voice with old-school Cinderella-like vibrato) "How Great Thou Art" "In the Garden" "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" and "Holy, Holy, Holy". Love the LBW! Oh Jenni, Jenni, Jenni. I was raised Lutheran so hymns evoke such beautiful memories within my soul.
