Songs of Influence: Whakaaria Mai (How Great Thou Art)
http://songsofinfluence.blogspot.com/2014/07/whakaaria-mai-how-great-thou-art.html
He has put a new song in my mouth." (Psalm 40:3). He has put a new song in my mouth." (Psalm 40:3). Thursday, 24 July 2014. Whakaaria Mai (How Great Thou Art). There is probably no other Christian anthem that stirs the heart like this famous hymn! Here are the lyrics of the original version. But for a special treat I thought I would post a New Zealand Maori version. This song is sung at almost every Maori funeral. I found this Maori / English version on Youtube, and it brought tears to me eyes. Tōu rīpek...

http://songsofinfluence.blogspot.com/2014/04/youll-never-walk-alone-gerry-pacemakers.html
He has put a new song in my mouth." (Psalm 40:3). He has put a new song in my mouth." (Psalm 40:3). Wednesday, 23 April 2014. You'll Never Walk Alone, by Gerry and The Pacemakers. Here's one of those songs that can give you goosebumps when you hear it. It's a common song that's sung at football matches in the UK, adopted primarily by the Liverpool Football Club, being from the home of the band. It's a song of hope. When things are going from bad to worse, there will be something sweet at the end of it.

Songs of Influence: Welcome, About This Blog
http://songsofinfluence.blogspot.com/2014/03/welcome-about-this-blog.html
He has put a new song in my mouth." (Psalm 40:3). He has put a new song in my mouth." (Psalm 40:3). Tuesday, 18 March 2014. Welcome, About This Blog. Welcome to my new blog! I really just started this blog so that I would have a collection of some of my favourite music. There are moments in your life where you hear a song, and it strikes a chord (pardon the pun! Everyone has their tastes, and no two people have the same. So what influences mine? I grew up in Christchurch, New Zealand, in the early 60's&#...

He has put a new song in my mouth." (Psalm 40:3). He has put a new song in my mouth." (Psalm 40:3). Thursday, 22 January 2015. Bridge Over Troubled Waters, by Simon and Garfunkel.

Songs of Influence: Honesty, by Billy Joel
http://songsofinfluence.blogspot.com/2014/03/honesty-by-billy-joel.html
He has put a new song in my mouth." (Psalm 40:3). He has put a new song in my mouth." (Psalm 40:3). Wednesday, 19 March 2014. Honesty, by Billy Joel. This song by Billy Joel has a whole lot of truth in it. Anyone can tell you what they want you to hear. And if you're desperate enough for the truth, you are willing to look in even the wrong places to find it, to our peril. But the problem is, everybody lies. We lie to save face. We lie to protect others. We lie to cover the sordid truth. Translated and co...

He has put a new song in my mouth." (Psalm 40:3). He has put a new song in my mouth." (Psalm 40:3). Tuesday, 25 March 2014. It Is Well, by Horatio Spafford. This beautiful hymn touches my heart for a number of reasons:. Firstly, it speaks of the beautiful peace we can have when we know whatever gets thrown our way, we can have assurance that God is working things out for good for us because we love Him (Rom 8:28). Lastly, the story behind the song. Spafford knew tragedy. He suffered immeasurable loss...
