I hope I’ll be able to join in that corner of heaven, not necessarily to sip the coffee or join in your conversation, but just to listen and meditate on God’s blessings.
Many have been blessed by so many song writers, some well known others not known. Many know their words, few may know the author. This reminds me of the author of life itself, greater God himself.
Steve, thanks for this. A really refreshing read and a great (but gentle!) celebration of a wonderful hymn writer. The church - and the world - is a better place because of him.
Yes there is great depth to these and also older hymns that we don't get so much with the 'modern' songs. There are some great newer songs, but too many are a bit trite for me.
Thanks Steve for this wonderful eulogy. Truly a great man.
I'm speaking in Broken Cross Methodist church next Sunday and I'll mention Timothy Dudley Smith to the congregation. Stay safe and enjoy your special time away with your family 😀🙏😍

Oh, the power of singing words that express truth, even when we don't "feel" them! Thanks for sharing Timothy Dudley Smith with us.
