That's how I grew up singing it. It actually took me months to remember to sing it the other way, but how much better!

Contact Canon, though...they have everything!

Valerie... for crying out loud, now how did you know I NEEDED to read/hear that quote today? Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm copying it down. I don't suppose you have a copy of that sermon (MP3 style) you can send to me if I gave you my email address?? I love this Psalm.

With the organ and orchestra going full blast, and with a choir and a church full of people singing at the top of their lungs, I got that goosebumpy-type feeling that we were catching a glimpse of heaven... Except that heaven will be so much more glorious! Wow, can't wait.. We had the Old Hundredth as the opening hymn at our wedding.

Thank you. My favorite rendition of this is on the Ralph Vaughan Williams CD "A Vaughan Williams Hymnal". The choir of Trinity College and the organ combine to give me goosebumps every time.

Thank you for all your posts on visiting the Merkeles - Bekah is an inspiration to me. This Psalm was exactly what I needed today! I love how God works like that. :) We can't wait to see you all in March for the conference! Ms Nancy! Thank you for all your posts on visiting the Merkeles - Bekah is an inspiration to me.

One of my favorite quotes from your husband is this bit from a sermon of a couple years back (October 2, 2005, to be exact): "God has received you. Deal with it. God likes you. Deal with that. God sings songs over you, as it says in Zechariah: 'He delights over them with singing.' Deal with that. God likes you; He loves you. And we think, 'Yes, He loves us in a technical, theological sense, but only because He has to and because He’s God. He doesn’t like having to love us.' He loves having to love you. He likes having to love you. He loves having to like you. I think that covers it. He likes having to like you." Perhaps if I'd grown up singing, "Jesus likes me, this I know," it wouldn't seem like such an alien concept. But though I'm still not used to the idea, the thought of it leaves me with a goofy grin and sure does make me want to do that mirthful, jolly, sloshy stuff! “He likes us!”
