Joy to the World
Happy New Year!
As we finish up our Christmas celebrations, and the "12 days" come to a close, here is one more joyful song to celebrate. And the nice thing about THIS song, is that it is more than merely a Christmas Carol. It celebrates the arrival of the King of kings, and we rejoice in that EVERY day!
The Savior reigns. May He reign in our hearts this day....
BTW, if you're a "12 Days of Christmas" kind of person (no, that song won't be in this, LOL ... but if you're the type who wants to let the celebration linger a bit), be sure to check out the video linked below, with more Christmas Carols, with a fireside backdrop to add some warmth to your celebrations.
Here is the link to my "Yuletide Carols" video, if you'd like to let the season linger a bit.

    Greetings to Shining River. I really enjoyed your home concert. You seem to be right in the spirit-zone this month. "Sweet Baby Jesus" was a new one for me, and perhaps my favorite for the performance. The absence of the "news ticker" (crawler/chyron), I believe, made for a more relaxed viewing pleasure, and at the same time helps to provide a quiet elegance to the video performance. (certainly if it reduces the outreach of your ministry, you could always reintroduce!) I was just curious why you don't on occasion invite you husband to join you in a duet, since he must be very musical, and a contributor to your "songbag." I think many of your viewers would be happy to see your artistic skills reflected as a partnership. Wishing you the Merriest Musical Magical Christmas and blessings in the coming new year.

    • @shiningriver3789

      Thanks for your feedback, Marshall! I'm glad you liked Sweet Little Jesus Boy. I haven't done it very often, so it was nice to dust that one off. Poignant lyrics and such a gentle song. Yes, I did away with the ticker this time in response to your feedback in a past video. Will continue to experiment on how to communicate things as effectively as possible. As far as my hubby participating, I usually do these things while he's outside the home working. Mostly because the chaos that ensues when I try to do something like this is way more intense than it looks from the outside. Want to largely spare him from such things (and maintain my own focus as much as possible!) Maybe some day when things are a bit more streamlined and I've learned more how to do all this it might work out... Lord willing in all things! Wishing you a delightful Christmas.

    Hi Lisa, really enjoyed this. "All creatures" is also a tune I had mentioned to you. You sound good today. Loved the "Tree of Life" as usual. My fave today was the John Newton tune, "I asked the Lord that I might grow." Deep stuff. Looks like you had a grateful Thanksgiving. Comfort and Joy for the advent season, and blessings for the upcoming year. Your friend in Jesus Christ.

    • @shiningriver3789

      Thanks, Marshall! Yes, I sang "All Creatures" for you!!! And isn't that "I asked the Lord" song deep? Someone requested it along the way and it was really poignant. God bless you over Advent and Christmas too. And BTW, if you see this in time, TOMORROW, Thursday, 12/19/2024 at 3 PM eastern time is my in-home concert for this month (a Christmas concert!) So if you can join me live, I'd love to see you (go to the "live" tab on my page for the link). If not, look for the replay. God bless you!

    When I first saw the picture with the words "Be not Afraid", I thought it was of a brain/black head with a sinister eye on the right side of the picture (actually right above your kitty's tail). As today is Halloween, may all who read this realize that "greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." 1 John 4:4b KJV Yes, because of Christ we are "Set Free From Fear." Help us walk in that truth, Lord! In Your mighty name, Jesus, amen.

    Praise the Lord. Unfortunately, Lisa, I have not been tuning in for a month or two, as I Seem to be non-stop occupied with other busy things. So Glad that you are still singing and trying to spread the joy that only flows from the stream of living water. I only had time to tune in for about 20 minutes this evening. One of my faves is "This is My Father's World." It captures all of that fragrant beauty of nature, as does only a few other tunes, like "All Creatures of Our God and King", "How Great Thou Art" and (of course) "Blossom!" The Psalm 84 is so beautiful but with a different lyrical twist.. Is the melody something original? I loved it's soaring flow. You are inspired. As usual your unique blend of sincerity, simplicity, serene vocals, joy and seasoned musicianship make for a wonderful listening experience. What a friend we have in Jesus.

    God's mercy triumphs over His judgment, praise His holy name. Just saw this beautiful passage at the end of Hosea. That book is hard to read due to the profound judgment of God upon His continually wandering people. After speaking of such things, it suddenly says this (which reminded me of this blog/podcast episode): "I will heal their apostasy; I will love them freely, for my anger has turned from them. I will be like the dew to Israel; he shall blossom like the lily; he shall take root like the trees of Lebanon; his shoots shall spread out; his beauty shall be like the olive, and his fragrance like Lebanon. They shall return and dwell beneath my shadow; they shall flourish like the grain; they shall blossom like the vine; their fame shall be like the wine of Lebanon." (Hosea 14:4-7 ESV) He does that healing through Jesus. God is still the same. Our sinful, wandering hearts still deserve judgment. If you have never submitted your heart to Jesus Christ and turned to Him, today is a good day to REPENT (turn around and go toward Him). He is not willing that any should perish (see 2 Peter 3:9). It's our choice whether to follow Him or not. If we don't, we choose the judgment for our sin. If we do follow Jesus, the passage above will be the result. I pray that you choose Jesus....

    The "commentator" will have to chime in, given the vast silence out there! T'was a Nice concert. I really loved the "Eye in on the Sparrow" - that ol' traditional hymn. Your vocal took flight. You've still "got it." I think somebody has his eye on you! :) It is so grand that you do some of the old hymnal stuff, like Rock of Ages another, wonderful and personally creative rendition. So oddly enough, my favorite tune this week WAS "Move on!" The version herein is a lot slower and more mellow than the one I'm used to hearing. I like them both. The album cut on Sacred Sojourn, I listen to frequently,. It is really punchy and intense and reminds me of perhaps an older adult giving sincere advice to an adult child who has fallen on hard times and bad karma. The other song I'm really liking is "You are my confidence." Even though it is a very heart- felt testimony about finding courage in God, the rhythmic variety and complexity are sort of "joyful." It leaves me wondering if the whole crystalized beat-box was the result of a massive overdose of listening to KC and the Sunshine Band albums when you were a kid! :) :) ?????? Have a blessed day and week ahead. Your friend in Christ.

      Thank you to my "commentator", Marshall! So glad you like the various songs. So grateful that Jesus has His eye on me, praise His name. Oh, how He watches over His children! Glad you're enjoying "Move On". Glad you're also enjoying "Confidence". I'll have to include that in one of my in-home concerts in the coming months:). I'm still working on editing the one from a few days ago, so keep your eyes out for the replay (the livestream had some "issues" that I'm trying to fix so it's listenable!). And as far as KC and the Sunshine Band, I'm sure i heard some of their songs, but there were MANY others who had a ton of musical influence on me over the years!!! Blessings to you and yours, Lisa.

    Good podcast Lisa! I love the way the Lord has made so much of His will obvious in His Word. Things like rejoicing, praying and giving thanks, in 1 Thes 5:16-18. And our sanctification and sexual purity, in 1 Thes 4:3. Also doing good in 1 Peter 2:15. Actually the Word is full of His will, and as we seek to keep His commands in our hearts and before our eyes, He will conform our lives to His will more and more. As for discerning His will in a specific decision like yours, Proverbs 3:5-6 gives great wisdom. We trust Him and not our own thoughts, and acknowledge Him as He leads us moment by moment, and it becomes clear. When we ask for wisdom, as James tells us in James 1:5-6a, we should not doubt that He's giving us that wisdom! Just like you are saying, Lisa, as we lay ourselves on His altar and renew our minds in His Word, Romans 12:1-2, we will be able to discern His will. We give You glory today, Lord! And hopefully, as we stay close to You, when we pray for Your will to be done, it will be ours too, for You are working in us to will and to work for Your good pleasure, Php 2:13.

    This is such a splendid song. I enjoyed the testimony about some the the rooted experiences that lead to its inspiration. But I guess I just don't "get it." This particular tune is 10 times better than a host of other Christian songs out there, that get all kinds of air-play on smile FM and on TH-cam. It is well crafted, soulful, hauntingly melodious, uses vivid imagery and is sung with clarity and passion. It is not over-produced or in need of any studio gimmicks to make it sound catchy. It is just raw beauty. I will not go off on the predictable mediocrity of oceans of music drifting thru cyberspace these days, only that this song should be bringing down 34 million views not 34. Trust that I am not trying to smooze you for any reason, it is just GOOD, and if I am one of the old school fools who believe inspired tunes should be crafted in the quiet meditative space of nature and not the sound studio or the jam session, then let me stand as a fading light. My new favorite tune this month is "Prodigal Child." Prayers for your "family issues," and may the Lord watch over you and your family and your inspiring musical ministry. I'll have to check out July's thursday concert some evening this week. Currently I have miles to go and promises to keep for the present trajectory. Shalom.

But what Americans call "lily of the valley" (the mini-lilies) are flowering now here in Michigan, so perhaps there is a connect. ! I also really ad,ore the "Fill this Temple" and "Prodigal Child." Really like the imagery of incense/aroma, and did a mini-study on biblical incense a couple years ago. Seems like only Vatican Catholics use it much in a ritualistic manner. Most Christians look at it as some new age non-sense, and thus it has become non-in-cense in most protestant worship services. I'm at odds with about everybody in my Sabbath school about the Christian use of the word "self" = some spoiled brat in everybody's brain, with insatiable desires and endless demands. So when we push for being "self-less" it really never happens because self is more than the mere satanic brat who is polluting the temple. So when the prodigal son does a 180 deg., I think it is Matthew who says "He came to himself" in NIV. So if "self" is so corrupt, why was it "soul saving" when he "came to himself"?????? Nevertheless, "shooting" for "nothing left but you" is a noble ideal, but after one does a soft landing, there is "self" staring us in the eyes. :) Oh I won't go on with this theo-babble, BUT since nobody else wants to comment, here you have it. Yes, and the cool thing about prodigal child is that it covers sons and daughters, and I've met a couple prodigal daughters in my life. So have a blessed week! Your friend in Jesus.

      Thanks so much for your kind and encouraging words, @marshallelliott8906 . I am so grateful that the Lord is ministering to you through the songs. I love your attention to the lyrics and finding the deep meanings therein. And I LOVE lily of the valley too... It has stopped blooming here in the northeast, as the garden has progressed now into the summer flowers. Always something new and beautiful that the Lord has created! God bless you, my friend.

THE PAYMENT BY HIS BLOOD FOR ALL SINS EVER! "And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." Hebrews 9:22 Romans 5:8 " But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him." “For he (God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21. Matthew 26: 28 "For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." ( life is in the blood. He had to pay with His life) * * * God knew you before the world was made! Ephesians 1:1-14. Prayer goes out for you and those here. A Crown in Heaven awaits all who share the Gospel of Jesus Christ that saves a soul. ( see"JESUS SAVES") 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20; Philippians 4:1. The Apostle Paul said in Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek". This praise resounds throughout the earth: "Jesus Christ is Lord and God. Only He saves". He testified: ''I and my Father are One" John 10:30 (*see also 31-42). 2 Samuel chapter 22:verse 50 "Therefore I will praise you, O Lord, out of the countries, and I will praise your name." JESUS SAVES God the Son (Jesus Christ) has given us the gospel to share with the world. Mark 16:15: "And He said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." How can we hear it? Scripture tells us. Romans 10:17 "Then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (We receive the "word" in many ways. The "Word" is Jesus Christ!); John 1:1-5. God the Holy Spirit teaches through the Word of God in the Bible. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3: 23 " For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 "1 Corinthians 15: 3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" BY GOD'S GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH ALONE IN JESUS CHRIST ARE WE SAVED Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast." Jesus died and paid the penalty for our sins to rescue us from eternal death. He died on our behalf. We believe in Him, trusting His death and shedding of His blood as payment for ALL our sins and His burial and resurrection from the dead the third day! John 20:24-31; 1 Corinthians 15: 3-4 above. WHOSOEVER BELIEVES SHALL TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH Romans 10: 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” TO DIE IS TO REJECT SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST AND BE SEPARATE FROM GOD FOREVERMORE Salvation and forgiveness of sins is the blessing of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We receive the baptism of God the Holy Spirit immediately which seals us in Christ and that is permanent! Ephesians 1:13-14. Those who reject the free gift of salvation, see John 3:16 above, "perish", which means their sins are judged by God the Son and they suffer eternal separation from God and the family of God forever called the "second death". Revelation 21:8.

    To my dear viewers! So sorry for the awful audio quality on this livestream. I had issues getting it to connect with YT in the first place, and my computer didn't let me know in advance that I was having "issues" with my audio. And since I wasn't streaming live until this last song, I didn't have any of YOU in the chat to let me know it was cutting out whenever I played the music. I'm going to be tweaking and learning.... Please keep me in prayer. It seemed like everything was finally WORKING yesterday, LOL.... Back to the drawing board I guess. Regardless, I press on as we all do, trusting the Lord to lead. Thank you for desiring to watch this in the first place. BTW, as I said in a reply to Marshall's comment, since I sadly don't have any salvageable video from yesterday, I am going to be putting my efforts into getting a new video out of my "Blossom" song that I sang in last month's livestream, so be watching for that... God bless you all, and thanks so much for your prayers. This is all WAY above my pay grade, and I'm grateful that my true "pay" is being stored up in heaven by the One who is at the helm.🙌

    Blessings, Lisa. A spirited rendition of this old standard, your cup running over with endearing emotions. Unfortunately what came out on my computer on your youtube channel was a really bad audio. The talking sounded fair. But on the tech end of the music - not good(for example) from 2:35-2:40 you cut out altogether. Many parts were raspy and sounded like there were pickup issues on both vocals and guitar. Not to take anything away from your delivery which was excellent. I listened to this at 8:40 after I got in from planting some of my garden. The "teaser" with one verse of Blossom, was really clear as a bell, but I assume from a different video/day? as you had on different clothes. Liked the slower tempo, it made all of the beautiful imagery ring a little clearer. I don't know if it is just the season, but I listen to that tune every morning around 5 when I get up. I think I have it memorized at this point. I don't know if I mentioned it before, but the trio of female vocals at the end of "Tree of Life" (all you?) "Healing in its leaves" line from (from Rev.22) is another stroke of musical genius. As, of course, is Blossom. I have never heard a Christian song that wraps in verbal imagery from Eden so gracefully and sensually. You are blessed with talents. And the Master will be pleased with what he has vested in you and your return on his investment.

I'll try to put up a separate comment about that. Thanks for your words about Blossom, and I'm so thrilled with how the Lord is blessing your heart with it each morning. Please keep me in prayer today, as I'm going to shift my focus (since yesterday's stream is sadly not salvageable) to putting out a video of Blossom from my last live stream (what you were seeing in the intro video). Lord willing, I'm planning to take YOUR recommendation about putting it out with pictures from the garden. Now the biggest challenge will be choosing which pictures to include! They're all such beautiful images of His handiwork. I pray that your heart will be blessed, as well as many others. He is so gracious to work in and through us, even with all our failures, foibles and frustrations... He is good, all the time; all the time, God is good! God bless you, my friend.

      The 3 crosses connection was not intentional on MY part, so thanks for catching that!;) Also, very perceptive about me being "slightly" stressed. Yes I was, and I deliberately left that part in the video so that the words I spoke later (about not needing everything perfect) would be shown in the moment. He is far above anything we may be stressed about. For me in the moment it was the reality that right as I was going "live" my camcorder shut off and wouldn't go on (so I opted for my computer camera, which is much worse, but at least I got SOME video!). Also, little did I know, the livestream never even connected! BUT, God was gracious enough to allow me to have a little video that automatically was stored on my computer, so I got to share the concert in a replay after-the-fact. He is so good and gracious. Peace flows like a river indeed. Blessings to you and yours, Marshall!

They sat on my desk for a few weeks as I had a lot of stuff going on. Listened to "Fill this Temple" a couple times. Strange but the song that I believe is really a jewel is "Blossom", as not many others listened or gave rave reviews on youtube. You know there are a lot of angelic female vocalists out there in both the spiritual and secular world, and you surely fit into that category, BUT from a songwriting standpoint this Blossom song had the most beautiful verbal imagery, positive uplift and "fragrant" melody of any tune I have heard in a long time.

      @@shiningriver3789 OK. So the reason I mentioned Blossom on this video post, as I think (if you ever have time), Blossom would be best presented as a video/audio slide show as you have done on Winter Snow. Reason being, is there are a lot of images in the garden tune, that are warm and attractive, like dew, and fragrance and garden, food, and vineyard and shower, etc., etc. As a gardener, it just might be my own personal bias, but a wild guess that others may find such a moist/dripping presentation magnetic. (that is much like a frequent poetic technique used in Song-of-songs.) My hunch would also be that your video editing skills lag behind your numerous musical talents. For example in Winter Snow, many of the slides do not have snow or a wintery feel (at least not for somebody who lives in Michigan, perhaps NJ??). In addition while all of the scripture is great, you might not want to hit folks with too many ideas at once. It's like giving your audience a buffet meal when a sandwich and soup would have been better on the mental-digestive tract. Just some thoughts for you. carry on with your excellent ministry. Blessings. (btw Tree of Life was also a wonderful song, but Blossom has this unique "joy" aspect missing in many songs in your genre).

      ​@@marshallelliott8906 Thanks for your thoughtful and insightful response! And yes, since you had sent the prior comment, I have been considering doing a video with Blossom in the spring (when it will be most applicable). And as you may tell from the song, I am also a gardener:). So there should be many pics and videos to include. As far as this (Winter Snow) particular video, there is a reason it includes so many "non-snow" pics... I put out the song during our snowy season (actually when we had one of our few snows of this season) not simply to put it out there, but largely for personal reasons relating to the many "storms" in our family's lives over the past year. I may mention some of that story in the video description... The storm/hurricane pics (are from a literal hurricane I was in when caring for my mom and stepfather this past year). Several of the other pics and vids were of moments a year ago when I was with my father for two weeks prior to his passing away. It was winter then also, but he lived on Cape Cod, and only one little dusting of snow picture is included, from a morning that I awoke when heading to see him in the hospital or rehab, and it had snowed out.... Pictures like those are included, not because they make for a stunning video, but because they had very personal reasons for their inclusion... So the video is extremely personal for me, and that's why it may seem strange to someone looking in from the outside. Those who know me and my story well probably "got" why certain pics were included, etc. I didn't have a whole lot of snow pictures in my collection back when I posted this video, but you can be sure that the couple of times it's snowed since then this year, I've been out there gathering footage to have at hand if I need them in the future. I'm sure you all in Michigan have a TON more opportunities to gather "snow" footage!😂 I really appreciate your input and thoughts, so thanks SO much. Your input is really wonderful.👍

      @@shiningriver3789 Hi Lisa, great to hear your personal story, as that is the essence of all an artist can create. Sounds like the good Lord has given you some trails over the past few years, and your heart has been dipped into the crucible for spiritual refinement. Yes, video editing to music is an art form all to itself. You do much better than me, though I really want to try to learn a "program" this year. You are right that it is best to grab your own images as it seems everything online is muddled with copyright infringements even if it is a mere flower of a daisy. I started one last year, but never did the editing professionally, It is just a iphone video of a song played on a digital recorder while running a slide show on a monitor (real primitive). If you ever have time to look at it, be my guest and tell me what you think of the images . It is just a blues instrumental (though there are lyrics). The story line is about all of the couples who escaped the Russian invasion of the Ukraine a couple years ago by jumping a train to head to Poland. th-cam.com/video/ff0VBs9RvfA/w-d-xo.html Have a blessed weekend.

      @@marshallelliott8906 Yes, indeed, challenging times, but always by His grace part of His mysterious way of refining our faith. And the story goes on to this day, and will likely continue right up until the day He takes us home to be with Him.... Thanks for sharing your vid. I love how your face shows in the reflection of the pictures. And the whole thing is poignant, showing the love of people as they parted ways, at least "for now" in that moment. I agree about using personal footage when possible. I simply think it makes things more "real", although of course, not as "professional". But being authentic is a higher value to me personally... To be sure, I want it to be as good as possible, as unto the Lord. I trust Him to do His good work in and through me (as well as all His children), and to leave all the particulars with Him, praise His gracious name. Hope you had a great weekend. It's always such a blessing to me to fellowship with our church family and then our earthly family as well....
