This hymn rings in my head whenever someone does me wrong.
♬♪♬♪♬♪♪♪♬♪♬♪♬♪♪♪♬♪♬♪♬♪♪♪♬♩_♬♬♪♪♪
"Where Charity and love prevail
...Forgive we now each other’s faults
as we our faults confess;
And let us love each other well
in Christian holiness..."
♬♪♬♪♬♪♪♪♬♪♬♪♬♪♪♪♬♪♬♪♬♪♪♪♬♩_♬♬♪♪♪
The hymn helps to dissipate much of my anger.
Thanks.
Before the throne of God above, I have a strong, a perfect plea
A great high priest whose name is Love, who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on his hands, my name is written on his heart
I know that while in heaven he stands, no tongue can bid me thence depart
When satan tempts me to despair, and tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see Him there, who made an end to all my sin
Because the sinless savior died, my sinful soul is counted free
For God the just is satisfied to look on Him and pardon me
Behold Him there the risen lamb! My perfect spotless righteousness
The great unchangeable I AM! The king of glory and of grace
One with Himself I cannot die, my life is purchased with his blood
My life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ my saviour and my God

Thanks for your fantastic sharing of the hymn. I find "The Advocate, aka Before the throne of God above." on Utube. It's another amazing hymn to listen and sing along.
I don't feel safe in using FLV2MP3.org which converts YouTube hymns to mp3.
My AVG AntiVirus Program detects and automatically removes a suspicious file right after the FLV2MP3.org converts a Youtube hymn. Needless to say...I close the tab and get out of the FLV2MP3.org website quickly.
I look into the AVG Virus Vault for more details on the suspicious file, but I can't find any file in the vault.
Per http://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/flv2mp3.org, FLV2MP3.org is "Suspicious - This Site May Be Risky!"

I have removed the website I have been using because Dieter later posted a link that appears to be a much cleaner service without the shady ad content. Thanks D! I'm switching services.

as far as that goes, the taste for some of what was posted so far ... well, I have not acquired it, so there!
Flatt and Scruggs always get 'the credits' for this song. I have long wondered if one of them wrote it, or if it means they are just getting credit for the arrangement [often the case for an unknown author]
Quote: 1BBThis is a nice thread. I'm happy that it hasn't been overrun by the usual religion people who just love to bash religion. I'm sure the administrators would agree. Here's hoping it stays that way.
I'm atheist, but have no opinion on what others do, and some hymns are absolutely beautiful. When I did go to church, one of my favorites was "Here I Am, Lord". It's power lies not in hearing it, but in singing it; by singing it aloud, you affirm your willingness to be a part of a larger plan.

It's better late than never.
I just find out that... even President Obama sings Amazing Grace.
