- Wonderful Grace of Jesus, greater than all my sin;
How shall my tongue describe it,
Where shall its praise begin?
Taking away my burden, setting my spirit free;
O the Wonderful Grace of Jesus reaches me!
This hymn is a great reminder of the Grace of Jesus that reaches me and you. Jesus said, in Matthew 11:28-30 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." If you have not found this rest for your soul, I pray you will find it in Jesus and his wonderful grace that is greater than all our sin.
Blessings!
Ruth

Beautiful 😍 Thanks!
Lovely story about your church camp Mrs. Hopkins! Hoping you have had a good day today
Thank you!
Prasie the lord
Yes! 😊
Millie Hopkins was the pianist at Navigator conferences. She was a bright, energetic, and capable lady. I was 25 years or so younger. It was hard to truly appreciate such a person then.
I'm over 85. Takes me back to the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's [get it?] when our small congregation would sing this out of our shaped notes Hymnal, Life Songs Number 2. When the Song Leader announced page 112 in Life Songs, the Sopranos always had to let out an obligatory soft moan because it had a high Ab in the last measures. But it wasn't a REAL moan, we ALL loved singing it, the moving parts in the Bass etc etc etc. It was in the key of Db [five flats] so for SOME reason [ahem] in our NEW Hymnals] they put it in the key of C so that the Sopranos only had to go to a high G. Oh, did I say it was wonderful to hear you play that more embellished arrangement. Keep up the good work, and God Bless You and yours.
Nice. Thank you!
Lovely rendition! I pray your channel prospers, and that you continue to share the good news of Jesus through your music. God bless.
Thank you so much!
Muchas gracias.
Es una bendición escuchar alabanzas al Creador
Really nice. And very tastefully done. Back in the late '70's, my church youth would also load up the bus and head off to Bible Camp at Carson Newman College. Had the absolute time of our lives. I still think about those days.
Thank you! Sounds fun. 😊
Thanks for sharing 💙. Im going to play the piano sooner or later. Love you Family
Sounds good!
Thank you for sharing your heart song.

May God bless this praise to the ends of the Earth. In Jesus name we pray.
GOD'S BLESSINGS TO ALL NATIONS AND PEOPLES
Gospel! The good news about Jesus Christ and salvation from judgment on our sins. Jesus dined with His disciples; Mark 14:22-25, the night before He went to the cross.
Jesus and His disciples were eating a Passover meal together at the Last Supper. After partaking of bread and wine (His body and His blood) , the Bible mentions the hymn Jesus sang with His disciples. “And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives” Mark 14:26. What were they singing on such an occasion? PRAISE! Psalms 113-118.
THE GOOD NEWS
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.."John 14.6
Blood coming from his body, NAKED, hanging on that cross like Roman torture weapon! What a Lord God and Savior! He had to. HE is God the Son. Only His sinless blood could pay our sins price.1 John 2:1-2. The Savior was born to die for our sins so we could live through Him. I Subscribed.
God knew your ministry 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
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.
The Birth of Jesus Christ
Isaiah 7: 14: "Therefore the LORD shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Immanuel." Hebrew: עִמָּנוּאֵל, "God with us" in human flesh but without sin. The Savior of the world was born to die for our sins! He did so 33 years later. His terrible ordeal; body mutilated; blood poured out, finally died (John 19:30; Luke 23:46 ) and was placed in a tomb and rose from the dead the 3rd day ! "HE IS RISEN" Matthew 28: 6.
Isaiah 53:" 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." - IT IS FOUNDED UPON GOD'S LOVE FOR MAN AND WOMAN HE CREATED
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:"
THE PAYMENT BY HIS BLOOD FOR ALL SINS EVER!
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.
" In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;." Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:18-19.
Matthew 26: 28 "For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." (the life is in the blood. He had to pay with His life)
"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
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.
Thank you for your words of encouragement and support.

Thank you!
You have a lovely touch. Pianist to pianist🤗 Takes me back to playing offetory .
Thanks so much!
Beautifully played. I remember our congregation singing that song many times. My fondest memories of it are from my time at Asbury University when we sang it in Hughes Auditorium during chapel services. Wow! By the way, you said you didn't know "where that came from." It came from the Bible in Acts 16:31.
Thank you! That’s great that you have fond memories of singing this song in chapel at Asbury. No doubt you followed their revival last year. We had friends in school there when that was happening. Thank you for the scripture reference.
@@davidandruthmusic I followed as much as possible. I also got to visit Asbury in June for my graduating class 50th reunion. It was a special time with a lot of reminiscing about the 1970 and reports on the outpouring earlier in February. I think I read correctly that your friends were there in 2023? If you meant 1970, who were they? It would be interesting to see if I know them.
I absolutely MUST have a copy of this piece!!!! How can I get this?!?!?
It’s in the book “Timeless Tribute.” So glad you like it.
Миссис Хопкинс,вы прекрасно владеете игрой на фортепиано. Слава Богу!
Hi! Thanks for the vídeos. Where is the sheet so that I may play that way?
Sure. It's in the book "Timeless Tribute."
Where can I find this arrangement
You can find it in this book: Timeless Tribute by Marilyn Ham
I am a Gentile and I thoroughly enjoy you reading the piece. To sing this to your recording 💓😄 would bring the church back from the biological weapon Coronavirus!!! Fauci would roll over in his grave 🪦
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this.
I am a church pianist too. The only thing that I would say is, close the music and play it from your heart. Why? Because it feels forced.
Thanks for your suggestion. I’ll keep that in mind.
❤😊
I think your playing is perfect and I played in church for years till the music changed.
Did she ask for advice
Hey that’s not nice comment are there any pleasant words with you don’t be judge mental,she’s playing for the. Lord not for anybody she’s just sharing it her best,your a church pianist also are you doing it for the glory of God or just showing up your best for the people, seems like you are more better than her that’s how you say in your comments.
G*d so loved the WORLD. The G*d of ALL Creation loves ALL of His Creation, EVERYTHING He made. With EVERYTHING G*d created He said, "It is good." When someone called Jesus "good" He replied, "There is none good but G*d." And He wasn't talking about Himself. When the G*d of All Creation declared ALL of His Creation to be "good", He was seeing a reflection of Himself in ALL His creation NOT just humanity. There is NO salvation to those who destroy G*d's creation. They are destroying the image of the Creator upon the Earth.
Three kinds of people go on every forum they can find and post their off-topic rants:
1. The immature.
2. The mentally ill.
3. Raving heretics.
Have you ever seen Jesus? Or is he in your dreams?
"Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. According to His great mercy, He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and into an inheritance that is imperishable, uncorrupted, and unfading, kept in heaven for you. You are being protected by God’s power through faith for a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. You rejoice in this, though now for a short time you have had to struggle in various trials so that the genuineness of your faith - more valuable than gold, which perishes though refined by fire - may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. *_You love Him, though you have not seen Him_* . And *_though not seeing Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy_* , because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. " (1Pet 1:3-9)
She should’ve sent the words to him besides playing the piano.
To who?
