FAVORITE SONGS

I'm still thinking about the songs we sing -- religious songs, that is. I haven't gotten around to modern-day praise and worship music yet -- but don't worry, I will one of these days.

If you were asked to name your favorite hymn, what would it be? Or are you like me -- there are so many good ones I don't know which one to choose.

I'm sure that if you were a dentist, your favorite song would be "Crown Him With Many Crowns." That brings up pictures of silver and gold -- not in people's mouths but in the dentist's pocket.

My father-in-law operated a bakery when he was alive. I'm sure he'd be partial to "I Need Thee Every Hour" were he alive today. My husband still talks about kneading dough.

For the past few weeks our local weather forecaster has had but one song: "There Shall Be Showers of Blessing." Sure hope he comes up with a new one soon!

When I had my cataracts removed a year ago, my optometrist lulled me to sleep with "Open My Eyes That I May See." Bless his cotton-pickin' heart, I hardly ever use my glasses any more!

Of course it's that time of year we'll all be hearing from the IRS whose favorite song is "All to Thee."

The unprecedented snow and bad weather in northwest Washington took its toll on our church. Right now the contractors are making repairs due to melting snow on the roof. But generally the contractor's favorite song is "How Firm A Foundation."

When younger, I used to make most of my clothes. Then my favorite hymn was "Holy! Holy! Holy!"

And until our recent economic crisis struck, the favorite hymn of many shoppers was "By and By."

What did you say your favorite hymn was?

P.S. You may think I'm crazy and have too much time on my hands, but I'm sure having fun!
