Nancy Damas Walgemuth reminds you God sees past outward appearances and looks at the heart.

It's not so hard to control behavior. We can do that with rules, with regulations, with lists, with human effort.

But it takes the spirit of God and the grace of God to keep our hearts following after you.

You're listening to the Revive Our Hearts

podcast with Nancy Demas Walgamuth,

For February 7, 2024, I'm Dana Gresch. you're You're not going to do you. You may recognize that song as the Revive Our Heart's regular theme song,

Come, thou Fount. But this is a different arrangement. It's not our regular theme.

It's from Nancy's piano album called Be Still. Today we'll hear some of the background of that

hymn come thou found of every blessing. the Well I hope that you're enjoying this series on some of the great hymns and

spiritual songs of our faith and I love these these are so much a part of my

heritage so much a part of how I learned to know the ways of God and His redeeming grace was through the singing of these hymns, which is one of the reasons we sing him's.

I'm thinking of Colossians 3 that says, let the word of Christ dwell in you richly teaching and admonishing one

thankfulness in your hearts to God.

And so many of these hymns that I grew up with,

some of you did as well, that are part of what helped the word of Christ to dwell in me richly as a child and

so often when I'm in points of stress or distress or need or I just need words to

express my praise to the Lord as As an adult woman, so many of these

songs and hymns from my childhood come back. And so I've really enjoyed working on this

project, recording 10 of these hymns in a CD that we're offering this month called

Be still.
