Evening Hymns Episode 22

Featuring Dr. Kenon Renfrow

[@adasimens6780]

I grew up in church. My dad was the director of choir and orchestra. We sang this song (master) as a choir. I am 49 grew up in Germany so I grew up with this old style music and I love it. Great memories. I am a Russian German baptist. So for hundreds of years people in Russia America and else where people were praising the Lord by singing these songs. Thanks alot for keeping this alive.

[@grosbeak08]

Wow, if only we could hear music like this in 'our' churches today! What a refreshimg treat; thank you.

[@rogerloomis6697]

Yes,, Real music with a real message, teaching Truth and that is memorizable...

[@davidliles87]

I know they are great , all church is now days in contemporary it’s awful no meaning to it at all

[@PublickMinistry]

@@davidliles87Sadly, a large majority are going that way. I have been playing for 30 years, and I will not participate in a church that allows that garbage in. Stick with the old stuff.

[@nanasmakingmemories6775]

@@PublickMinistryI’m the same way. I’ve been playing “old” hymns in church since I was in the third grade (early 1970’s). I only play at “old” churches so I can play the hymns. Some contemporary music is ok but, for the most part, the new stuff is extremely repetitive praise and worship songs with a secular loud rock concert feel.

[@JamesRising-vc2uu]

@@nanasmakingmemories6775 3 churches within 6 miles of me have eliminated organ music (two were pipe organs).

[@FrancesTorrey-f8q]

These are the MOST BEAUTIFUL!!!!!and I only wish they were STILL sung in worship services today. I am elderly and will ALWAYS love these hymns!!

[@lorraineprendergast5375]

A. Wonderful feast of hymns played by accomplished pianists. Give God Glory. He is worthy of praise. Bless you both.

[@karllewis4258]

Yes

[@JohnSmith-ul4wc]

That song, "I Come Broken", is absolutely phenomenal. Glory be to God, Amen.

[@marilynriddlebarger8499]

As a child hearing this and learning to sing as the basses in the choir sang out the lead still thrills me and I'm 89...thank for refreshing my memory!

[@rebagreen5768]

This was balm to my soul. It is so rare to hear the old hymns. May God richly bless you both.

[@jessjc816]

"Rejoice in the Lord" transports me back to sitting at my grandmother's feet as her 8 children (my dad and all the aunts/uncles) sang this on Sunday afternoons. What a gift these sessions are for our generation! (funny story: a singing group visited our church one weekend, joining the choir on Sunday morning and then giving a concert on Sunday evening. "Keep on the Firing Line" was a song on their album at the time, and my dad purchased the cassette. I don't remember how or why, but at some point while the cassette was playing, I pushed the record button and my voice ended up in the middle of that song. Probably the first time in my young life that I kept something from my parents...until the guilt burned a hole in my heart). Every key you press is a precious memory for my heart--Thank you Natalie!

[@patriciabrammer9177]

I love this singing. It is very hard to find these hymn sings anymore. And it's a real blessing to me. Dont ever change!

[@darnel322]

Hard to believe this is extemporaneous. The two of you feed off each other like you’ve been playing together forever! Awesome!!!

[@NatalieRaynesMusic]

We had never played a note together until this session! He is an amazing musician for sure.

[@darnel322]

He seemed quite impressed by your talent as well (just like the rest of us!)…

[@stefeb]

So refreshing to hear music so pure and from the soul. What a contrast from the worship music of today. Thank you so much for brining life to my weary soul.

[@djmcdowell746]

It's a beautiful blessing to hear your wonderful, God-given talents, praising the Lord Jesus with beautiful piano hymns🎹!!! Thank you for caring to share your faith in Jesus Christ!! 💖

[@joygibson806]

Nothing like beautiful piano music to bring a person into God’s presence. Thank you so much.

[@lynettelong2016]

A most delightful session. Heaven seems much closer listening to this beautiful music. Thank you for doing that.

[@RebeccaStahl-v3h]

Thank you, I absolutely love this music. My mom played the organ. When I get to heaven I want to play with her. Our church is falling apart but we used to have music like this. Lovevit. Praise God

[@FM2191]

Love both of these outstanding pianists!

[@karllewis4258]

Nah! Just the music they make lolol

[@janetcolyear8990]

As I lay my head down on my pillow I feel so relaxed in Jesus’s arms. Thank you so much.

[@michaelh7538]

It is so hard to find an electronic piano that sounds so close to a real piano That is a nice one!

[@kathylogan]

Yes, I agree. I have a Yamaha Clavinova that sounds very close to an acoustic grand piano...until I record a song, and the recording doesn't sound as close. But Natalie's is excellent!

[@conniecurtis2890]

Master the Tempest Is Raging. Known it almost my entire 82 years. But your rendition was amazing!! 🥰❤️

[@collienbordner5181]

I just loved this session. So uplifting thank you both.

[@elizabethbryan9475]

Amazing. What a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon here in New Zealand than listening to such amazing music

[@jonssong]

49:54 This evening has been heavenly, with two of our favorite keyboard blessings who emerged during days of Covid bringing us God's light during those dark days. Thank you to all three, dare we not include Josh. ❤😂

[@applemac100100]

Sadly we are still in dark days in our world and with the awful events of 7 October 2023 we are in much need of these hymns.

[@judysetran9198]

Praise the Lord for the beautiful gifts of these two .It brings me such joy to listen and sing along with ones I know..

[@AlissaRayne]

Beautifully played! Love these hymns!❤️

[@JASMS63]

When I saw your guest tonight, I immediately said , "That's Ken Renfrow!" I was a former student at Bob Jones University back in the 80's and know him very well. He is an excellent pianist and teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed this music duet tonight! It would be wonderful to have Shelly Hamilton on as a guest in the future. 🙂🎹🎵

[@NatalieRaynesMusic]

That would be super fun! I will reach out to her and ask!

[@danielnarvaez6674]

@@NatalieRaynesMusicI recently looked up Nearer Still Near because I’m going to play Sunday and Ken Renfrow is one that I liked and also for He Giveth More Grace. I came across this video and said NO WAY. THAT LOOKS LIKE THE GUY I JUST FOUND. So I read the comments and sure enough THATS HIM!!!!! And now I see both of you playing? She knows Ken Renfrow ??? No waaaaaay! I absolutely love both of your playing. I looked up his hymns from his KZbin channel to see if he has sheet music and he does. I haven’t found He Giveth More Grace or Nearer Still Near sheet music but I hope I do.

[@JoyKennedyHughes]

Wow! When We All Get Together. Beautiful hymn. We need this song sung more in churches today. What an exceptional, grand performance. 🙏✝️

[@user-gd4fy4gb6v]

I have listened to this presentation 5 or 6 times. What a joy! I love 2 piano work. Thank you and bless you all.

[@raymondmartin7332]

Thank you Natalie Raynes & Josh for the lively and lovely rendition of sacred songs. Very pleasing to the ear and the soul . God Bless You.

[@patrickliao8576]

God’s gift to you both to lift the spirits of His people. Thank you for the beautiful music!

[@jonathanumstead4608]

Thanks again so much to both of you for so many beautifully played duets together, as well as solo pieces, as we Gathered at the River, so we could look ahead When the Roll is Called Up Yonder, and we're Dwelling in Beulah Land, with Christ's Joy and Majesty on High!!!🙏✝️🛐🎹🎶❤️🌹

[@neiljohnson1773]

Sat and listened to this whole session today....a bit late but just "wow". "Praise God because He surely lives" In the keyboards and the fingers of you two guys and in the ears and minds of all of us who get to hear Also of course forever in the hearts of each one of us. Thankyou again for taking the time to bring us to the life and to cross and to the living saviour of all mankind. Praise him indeed!

[@kg7yts187]

When I hear "He Lives" it just gives me the feeling that I'm at church on a Sunday morning, especially Easter Sunday!

[@dennisboyd1712]

Thank you so much, wishing Churches would go back to singing Hymns!

Such a blessing to be able to listen to this, thank you both!!

[@raymondmoss4999]

Greetings from Australia. Great to have you back Natalie. Looking forward to replaying this tonight (Saturday).

[@cindytempleton3664]

Listened to this 3 times now and enjoy it every time.. hopefully you will do it again. May GOD bless each of you and Josh for taking the time to bless us with this beautiful music.

[@janetmueller9195]

All these hymns are so precious to me. My mother played the piano, and I so regret not learning to play myself. Your playing together is so beautiful! I feel God's presence as you play and find myself singing along. 🎶

[@carolyngalbraith6202]

This was wonderful. You would not have wanted to hear but I sang all I could. Praising Jesus from a heart of thankfulness for His amazing grace to include me in the gospel story. Love you both. Thank you.

"We are in a position, as musicians, to touch the souls of those who listen." Spencer W. Kimball,

[@neiljohnson1773]

Just as I am without one plea....I wonder how many of us came to Jesus Christ through the singing of that Hymn? 1970 for me at a place way way far from where I am living now. Awesome thought that no matter how far I wander away the saviour still holds me close to his side and brings me ..Just as I am....back to himself.

[@betsyluckey6978]

I thoroughly enjoyed this music ... I sat through so much of it with my hands raised in praise to the Lord. Thank you for taking us into that special place or worship.

[@joebarker4211]

[@djmusic130fdy]

Just, wow!! Talk about hand in harmony! Thank you!

[@kathyrogers5395]

I would love to hear these two accomplished pianists play "When You're One Step From God", from the hymnal "Songs of Praise". I used to sing this in the church my late Dad pastored (in the 1950s). It was one of his favorite songs.😊

[@ChelseaBushman]

Thank you so much for playing my request, "Arise My Soul, Arise!" I love the lyrics... when we're trusting Christ alone, we can have this assurance: Arise, my soul, arise, shake off thy guilty fears. The bleeding Sacrifice in my behalf appears. Before the throne my Surety stands; my name is written on His hands. He ever lives above, for me to intercede; His all-redeeming love, His precious blood to plead, His blood atoned for all our race, and sprinkles now the throne of grace. Five bleeding wounds He bears, received on Calvary; they pour effectual prayers, they strongly plead for me. "Forgive him, O, forgive," they cry, "Nor let that ransomed sinner die!" The Father hears Him pray, His dear Anointed One; He cannot turn away the presence of His Son. His Spirit answers to the blood, and tells me I am born of God. My God is reconciled, His pard'ning voice I hear; He owns me for a child, I can no longer fear. With confidence I now draw nigh, and, "Father, Abba, Father," cry. - Charles Wesley, 1742

[@lisaschroy1578]

I absolutely loved this hour! It blessed my soul to the core. I learned something new, today. “Just As I Am” is one of my favorite songs. (I was saved as the church choir was singing Just As I Am) I didn’t know it was used as a base for “I Come Broken”. I looked up the lyrics and found another favorite song. Thank you both!

[@julievanderleest]

I’m hoping and praying that I can soon be playing the piano like this someday. I have picked it up again and it’s been awesome to improve little by little each day. I play by ear and have been able to since I was about 4 or 5. Sadly I didn’t realize how valuable the gift was and I didn’t stick with the lessons. I’ve regretted it my whole life. So, I have found an online course for piano and I’ve learned a lot already and it’s only been a month. Watch the videos and it takes me up to 30 minutes to an hour sometimes to get a song done fairly well. And I don’t have to do recitals in front of people. The best part of all.🤗 When I was little my mom said I could play as well as Roger Williams someday. That is definitely a bar that seems way too far out of reach. I mean anyone who came from Juilliard is about as good as it gets. He was a master of the piano. I will be happy to play as well as my mom and grandma could.🎵❤️🎵❤️
