Nancy DeMoss-Walgamuth 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 Him.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Wogamuth, author of The Wonder of His Name, for Thursday, April 13th, 2017.

Thank you, You may recognize that song as the Revive Our Heart's regular theme song,

Come Thou Fount.

But this version of it is from Nancy's piano CD called

Be Still. As we near Easter, we're going to focus on Jesus by hearing some of the backgrounds

to hymns that point to our Savior. We'll hear the backstory to one of the hymns on this CD, Be Still.

I have a friend who's had leukemia and been going through several weeks of chemo treatments and then bone marrow transplant.

It's been a hard, hard time for his family.

And I sent two copies of the CD to him and his wife before the actual,

it was an early version of it before the final mix had been done. But I just thought maybe it

would minister to them because I know they know and love these hymns. I sent one for her to have

in her car because she's driving back and forth to the hospital and one for him to have in the hospital.

And she told me, she said he has had that thing playing all night, every night,

that he just wakes up to push play again so it can go through again, just letting it wash over him.

And she says, nurses will come into the room and say, that music is so peaceful.

What is that?

And that is the goal. That's the heart. So already the Lord has been using it to minister to people. We want to talk about a few more of the hymns on that CD.

If you'd like to have a copy, we'd be glad to send you one. And if the Lord prompts you to give a gift

to help support the ministry of Revive our hearts,
