I am not skilled to understand

Author: Dorothy Greenwell (1821-1882) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #432 (1987) Meter: 8.8.8.7 Hymnal Title: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) Lyrics: 1 I am not skilled to understand what God has willed, what God has planned; I only know that at his right hand is one who is my saviour. 2 I take him at his word and deed: 'Christ died for sinners,' this I read; for in my heart I find a need of him to be my saviour. 3 That he should leave his place on high and come for sinners here to die; you find it strange? So once did I, before I knew my saviour. 4 I hope that Christ my Lord may see fulfilment of his work in me; and with his child contented be, as I with my dear saviour. 5 Yes, living, dying, let me bring my strength, my comfort, from this spring: that he who lives to be my king once died to be my saviour. Topics: God's Church Faith and Trust; Pentecost 17 The Proof of Faith; Pentecost 19 The Life of Faith Languages: English Tune Title: EWHURST

Small Church Music

Editors: Dora Greenwell Description: The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid 1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format. Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per month. The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse. Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs. Copyright notice: Rev. Clyde McLennan, performer in this collection, has assigned his performer rights in this collection to Hymnary.org. Non-commercial use of these recordings is permitted.
