Give me a P

This is a little song on perseverance of the saints to the tune, Oklahoma, from the Rogers and Hammerstein musical.  The words don't include the little preamble in the song. Perhaps one day I'll add that part as well.

Perseverance of the saints encourages my heart

You can read the verse within God's word

That He finishes which He did start

Perseverance, not contingent on my will or pow'r

But on God's decrees, Christ intercedes,

And the Spirit's working every hour

By faith we have been justified

And one day we shall be glorified

Our hope is stayed 

Upon this pilgrim way

So take heart that our

God will keep us persevering

Perseverance by grace!

Perseverance of the saints encourages my heart

You can read the verse within God's word

That He finishes which He did start

Perseverance, not contingent on my will or pow'r

But on God's decrees, Christ intercedes,

And the Spirit's working every hour

By faith we have been justified

And one day we shall be glorified

Our hope is stayed

Upon this pilgrim way

So take heart that our

God will keep us persevering

Perseverance by grace!

By faith we have been justified

And one day we shall be glorified

Our hope is stayed

Upon this pilgrim way

So take heart that our

God will keep us persevering

Perseverance by grace!

Through faith! In Christ alone!

Perseverance!

A musical tribute to...

Here is a musical book review of Against Calvinism by Jeff Peterson, Eddie Eddings, and Jon Cardwell.

It's the recent book that's been published

Liked by Jakob Harmenszoon,

With ironic wit and dry humor that's

Sure to bring a smile or two.

Eddings, Peterson, and Jon Cardwell

Worked so hard to bring it to you

This thin tome that has it all, and I think you should, too

Buy da book, this is da one

Sure to rout those Calvinists, set them on da run

Silence all their faulty views

Once for all, that TULIP to subdue

Just go ahead, buy da book!

Read da book, it will report

Theologians of Remonstrans and Synod of Dordt

You'll be thrilled by every page

It's a parody fit for our age

Just go ahead, buy da book!

Buy da book! Logical arguments

To thwart Doctrines of Grace for all time, ever to circumvent

But you won't know what's inside

Til you find a merchant that's online, listen far and wide!

Buy da book!

To the tune of Night and Day by Cole Porter.  The video below is the original song as sung by the incredible Ella Fitzgerald.
