For those in peril on the sea.\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Joni:<\/strong>\u00a0I will never forget when during the Iraq War\u2014when on CNN and MSNBC\u2014we saw those huge aircraft carriers heading out to sea from San Diego\u2014looking at those images of those ships sailing toward the Persian Gulf.\u00a0 I can imagine many men and women aboard the ships of the Armed Forces were probably singing that beautiful hymn.\u00a0 What a hymn to instill within the hearts of our children as we strive to help them understand the roots\u2014the foundations\u2014upon which this country was built.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bobbie:<\/strong>\u00a0 And with this hymn, they are really praying for those in peril on the sea.\u00a0 This is one of the hymns\u2014after watching the news like you did, Joni\u2014I would get so sad that I didn't know what to do with all this emotion.\u00a0 I would go and sit at the piano every night before I went to bed during the whole war.\u00a0 I prayed this at my piano because I'm just saying, \"Lord, here is when we cry to Thee.\"\u00a0 We are asking God to bless and protect our loved ones overseas.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0We are remembering before we do that it is His arm that binds the restless wave.\u00a0 It is He who tells the ocean, \"This far and no farther.\"\u00a0 He is the sovereign God.\u00a0 We can come to Him and say, \"Lord, hear us when we cry to Thee for those in peril on the sea.\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 And what we are singing about and Who we are singing about\u2014the accuracy, the doctrine, and the theology that is represented there.\u00a0 We touched on this yesterday, Joni, but I know this is important to you.\u00a0 Families really need to be concerned about the theology of the songs that they sing because they anchor our souls on either the right object of our faith or a weaker object.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Joni:<\/strong>\u00a0These songs take children past the surface of doctrine.\u00a0 We get down into the fundamentals of:\u00a0 Who is God?\u00a0 Who is Jesus Christ?\u00a0 What about heaven?\u00a0 What about hell?\u00a0 The doctrine of sin and repentance.\u00a0 What about saving faith?\u00a0 All of these hymns\u2014Bobbie and I\u00a0 were careful to pick hymns which we were convinced showcased some of the most powerful and fundamental doctrines of God's Word.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 One of the things that occurred when we adopted our daughter, Deborah is\u2014we were in New York City when we received the phone call she was going to become our daughter.\u00a0 We prayed about it as we went to bed and asked God to confirm His way.\u00a0 The next morning, we felt absolutely certain that she was to become a part of our family.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat morning, as we arose from the bed, the radio next to the bed had been set by someone on a Christian station.\u00a0 It came on, without us having set it, to a song\u2014<em>O, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing<\/em>.\u00a0 That song became Deborah's song as a little girl growing up.\u00a0 I think it is very wise for us as parents to attach to each of our children a song that has some symbolism\u2014some spiritual meaning\u2014that anchors their soul in the truth of a great hymn.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe reason is:\u00a0 We don't know what may befall our children.\u00a0 How many of us, as adults, have sung a hymn for maybe the 534th time; and finally, because of the circumstances we are living today, the words finally made sense.\u00a0 They finally sunk into our soul and our hearts welled up in praise to God and thanked Him that God does rule\u2014that God can be trusted.\u00a0 He is a worthy object of our faith.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Joni:<\/strong>\u00a0That's right.\u00a0 This is why we are so grateful that the CD is in the back of the book because Mom and Dad can slip this in.\u00a0 Listening to these songs over and over again\u2014the words get ingrained into your heart.\u00a0 At times, when you need it, as you said, Dennis, the Lord will bring it all back to memory just as He brought back those words of those beautiful rich old hymns when I was in the hospital floundering, looking for words to put around my heartbreak.\u00a0 I didn't know what to say, but God brought back those memorized lines.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt is a joy to memorize these hymns.\u00a0 This CD and, of course, the book, too, will help folks do it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 You have broken the book down into four basic areas\u2014four different themes and picked three hymns to support each theme.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bobbie:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>It was very difficult to just choose just 12.\u00a0

she'll say, \"Okay, what's our hymn?\"\u00a0 She is in California; I am in Orlando, Florida.\u00a0 We sing across the telephone wires.\u00a0 Today, we had an experience\u2014we were walking into a big bathroom with a great echo \u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Joni:<\/strong>\u00a0It was one of those cavernous kinds of restrooms where

the walls.\u00a0 We just went right into the restroom, and we were singing \u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Joni &amp; Bobbie:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>[They sing] \"Onward

not.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0We may have to learn a few hymns along the way ourselves.\u00a0

when I was a little girl\u2014and back in the '50s this was\u2014we were taking a trip in my mom and dad's old Buick Roadmaster.\u00a0 We were heading out old Route 40; and we went to Colorado Springs, Colorado.\u00a0 That old Buick chugged all the way to the top of Pike's Peak.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMy sisters and I, the four of us, piled out of the car.\u00a0 We quickly ran to the edge of the crest of the mountain and looked out over the most awesome, soul-inspiring, beautiful sight on top of Pike's Peak.\u00a0 You're looking out over the Colorado plains and the patchwork quilt of fields.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMy father and mother, with the wind whipping their hair, burst out into singing this song.\u00a0 There was a reason why they did because this particular hymn was composed by a woman who, indeed, was inspired by that same sight.\u00a0 Standing on top of Pike's Peak, she then wrote <em>America the

about that today.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd welcome to <em>FamilyLife Today;<\/em> thanks for joining us on the Friday edition.\u00a0 I have a pet peeve; and I know that in talking

there.\u00a0 We touched on this yesterday, Joni, but I know this is important to you.\u00a0 Families really need to be concerned about the theology of the songs that they sing because they anchor our souls on either the right object of our faith or a weaker object.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Joni:<\/strong>\u00a0These songs take children past the surface of doctrine.\u00a0 We get down into the fundamentals of:\u00a0 Who is God?\u00a0 Who is Jesus Christ?\u00a0 What about heaven?\u00a0 What about hell?\u00a0 The doctrine of sin and repentance.\u00a0 What about saving faith?\u00a0 All of these hymns\u2014Bobbie and I\u00a0 were careful to pick hymns which we were convinced showcased some of the most powerful and fundamental doctrines of God's Word.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 One of the things that occurred when we adopted our daughter, Deborah is\u2014we were in New York City when we received the phone call she was going to become our daughter.\u00a0 We prayed about it as we went to bed and asked God to confirm His way.\u00a0 The next morning, we felt absolutely certain that she was to become a part of our family.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat morning, as we arose from the bed, the radio next to the bed had been set by someone on a Christian station.\u00a0 It came on, without us having set it, to a song\u2014<em>O, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing<\/em>.\u00a0 That song became Deborah's song as a little girl growing up.\u00a0 I think it is very wise for us as parents to attach to each of our children a song that has some symbolism\u2014some spiritual meaning\u2014that anchors their soul in the truth of a great hymn.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe reason is:\u00a0 We don't know what may befall our children.\u00a0 How many of us, as adults, have sung a hymn for maybe the 534th time; and finally, because of the circumstances we are living today, the words finally made sense.\u00a0 They finally sunk into our soul and our hearts welled up in praise to God and thanked Him that God does rule\u2014that God can be trusted.\u00a0 He is a worthy object of our faith.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Joni:<\/strong>\u00a0That's right.\u00a0 This is why we are so grateful that the CD is in the back of the book because Mom and Dad can slip this in.\u00a0 Listening to these songs over and over again\u2014the words get ingrained into your heart.\u00a0 At times, when you need it, as you said, Dennis, the Lord will bring it all back to memory just as He brought back those words of those beautiful rich old hymns when I was in the hospital floundering, looking for words to put around my heartbreak.\u00a0 I didn't know what to say, but God brought back those memorized lines.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt is a joy to memorize these hymns.\u00a0 This CD and, of course, the book, too, will help folks do
