It Took A Miracle to play The Love of God with such Blessed Assurance, and The Love of God to play All of the hymns so wonderfully again!! Let us never forget that Jesus Paid it All, as we Survey the Wondrous Cross each passing day, til we reach the Higher Ground in Heaven above 🙏!! Thanks again, Natalie and Josh. God bless you day by day, and with each passing moment!! 🎹🎶

[@carolebrelo7234]

W0W, that was great!! Did you make that up?

[@tjlarson9859]

Nicely done! Thank you! I think we would have a lot of fun if we ever could meet.

[@mvs3896]

Brilliant!!

[@jonathanumstead4608]

And Can It Be, that with Each Step I Take, the messages of the hymns she plays come to Life again, reminding us when we first learned them in our younger days 50+ years ago or so, when I first believed that Jesus loves Me, This I Know, and to trust in Him where'er I Go!!! God bless us All 🙏♥️✝️ through the precious gift of Himself on the Old Rugged Cross!!

[@HappyKattt]

I loved this! Very creative! I saved it so I can enjoy again. Thank you and God bless you. 🙏😇🙏

I love watching you engage your unbelievable memory to bring songs you know you know to the forefront of your mind. Isn't it a wonderful miracle God has wrought in us. I am not three years behind, just relistening again and again.

[@halo79972]

Hi Natalie...met you last night in Spartanburg. That was wonderful. Here is my wave I told you that I would give you. God bless you! You are a beautiful and Godly woman and I love hear you “tickles those ivories”. By the way, my name is Lillie and yesterday was my 71st birthday! Couldn’t have a better birthday than to spend the evening with the CFam and meet you. ❤️👋👋👏👏

It took a Miracle is also one of my favorites.. hi! I have just discovered this wonderful channel.. I have been listening also to the piano hymns of John Troutman.. I'm very uplifted with the playing of the hymns in piano thru this blessed young lady..

WONDERFUL GIFT. IT RAISES US TO THE THRONE OF GRACE. BLESSINGS UNTIL YOU OVER AND ABOUND

[@mvs3896]

Thank you Natalie! All wonderful hymns. Your gift shared so freely here, provides a special place for listeners everywhere though unseen, to join in "speaking to one another in songs, hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in our hearts to the Lord." Ephesians 5:19. Thank you too, husband Josh, for your helpful assistance! Such a blessing for the people of the Lord in such a time as this! LOVED "To God Be the Glory" last week and this week!!

[@phillully4472]

Always so refreshing Natalie, it washes my heart's mind and refreshes the soul.. God Bless your ministry of music. Happy Tuesday evening is when I'm hearing your Sunday program. Thx.

[@mikedavis7733]

Because of my church services on Sunday I miss the live show but always can’t wait to catch it later. She is terrific and inspires my piano playing

[@duncanblack6552]

I attended a Railway mission many years ago in a small town called Jamestown, twenty miles north of Glasgow Scotland, the organist called Jim Ross used to sing " It took a miracle" and hearing you playing it again brought back many memories, thank you.

[@virginiamendoza9209]

So amazing Ms Natalie really gifted, may I request to pls play the song "Mansion over the Hilltop"

To God b the glory what a wonderful song for blessing the soul. Thank you and bless you.

[@crimond99]

Sang that in a choir 50 years ago. Awakening chorus. The Lord Jehovah reigns!

[@gordontaylor3103]

Been listening to this episode again. Love your arrangement of How Great Thou Art. Found your account of the 'honking' saxophone student days very funny indeed. Haven't been able to find your family sing song on 26 July on You Tube, but will keep looking! Thanks again and God bless you both.

[@larrybrown5396]

He Bore It All, " My precious Saviour suffered pain and agony, He bore It all, that I might live. " Is how it begins, my mom and dad used to sing back in the 1950's . Mother Played the Piano and Daddy sang bass in a church quartet.

[@0459RanRan]

Thank you once again for the joy. Thank you, too, for the personal glimpses. My dad bought my mom a piano (spinet) instead of an engagement ring. That is mine now. Over the years he provided a piano for each of my 3 sisters. Piano lessons were also not an option, although he let me quit at 16. I also appreciate that someone stressed posture. No, playing the piano shouldn’t hurt. Kudos to whomever taught you that, and may you have a long and profitable ministry.

[@christianmelodies6455]

Thanks so much for this vid. With my bestfriend, we love watching you play hymns so inspiring it teaches us to practice more on playing piano. God bless.

[@stephenloudon5833]

Natalie , Josh once again thank you very much! Y'all shine through as true Believers amid all of the false prophets now making their appearances on youtube in these difficult times. You guys are truly an inspiration and your playing Natalie so uplifting. May Almighty God continue to bless y'all and your Family. God Bless the kids that you teach the Gospel to. They are so precious and are indeed so fortunate and blessed to have you as their teacher of the Goodness of our Lord Jesus. God bless y'all!!!

[@naturavulgaris6869]

Thank you Natalie, That is really great to hear you from Germany playing all the lovely songs. Thank you. Keep playing, please. It would be great someday to play violin with you.

[@AndyDeMontana]

It's a real blessing to hear your music. I just found you a few days ago and really enjoy it. Thank you, and keep it up!

loved hearing Surely Goodness and Mercy!!

[@ladybookworm1635]

AMEN and continued blessings ❤🌹❤

[@benetty2003]

Can't agree more at the comments here! But...tempo definitely defines not only the beauty but also the topic of the hymns making them meaningful! It's not easy to translate by an instrument the intention of an author but with good effort and diligence can be done better and better!

[@iancreek4477]

Thanks again Natalie! A wonderful compilation of true gospel hymns! Every blessing from Fareham UK

[@jimfurman3145]

I do like when you add the Song titles. Most I recognize, which is good. Thanks for lifting up the name of Jesus with music.

[@bluefalcon5433]

47:36 "I Know God Makes No Mistakes" is one I did at music lessons a few years ago. Its one of my favorites!

[@adamflory8473]

I especially loved how great thou art. Thanks

[@harrietjames9705]

Praise God for your talent, it is beautiful

[@janwingo5278]

If memory serves me correctly, the original name of the song requested as "Jerusalem" is actually called "The Holy City." I remember as a young girl attending Billy Graham Crusades here in Houston and hearing this beautiful song sung by George Beverly Shea. It is one of my favorites. Thank you for playing the chorus! Another favorite sung by Mr. Shea was "I Walked Today Where Jesus Walked."

[@fionaramsay9559]

In the UK if Jerusalem is asked for it always refers to Parry/Blake (And did those feet in ancient times...) Guess it depends where the requestee is from. You're right though, the correct title for the piece played is The Holy City.

[@freemanseymour2422]

Hey from the Bahamas. I'm just getting to listen to Sunday's episode. Enjoying your piano playing ministry.

Loved your arrangement of When I Survey the Wondrous Cross and the use of the Flat 7 and minor walk-ups in the verses. You are so talented!

[@MrTaiese]

One thing i miss is being the church pianist, it’s funny when i used to play for church i would improvise around the chords adding my own fill-ins making it sound full and broad, and when i left they asked for some music of the hymns only to find out its only the 4 part choir music i had everything was improvised. Good memories. I love your playing too

1) "I Will Sing of My Redeemer" has an interesting story. The text was found in P.P. Bliss' satchel after he perished in a train wreck; his friend James McGranahan wrote the tune. Wikipedia link en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Bliss 2) "Stepping in the Light" is a great favorite at our church here in the Philippines - fun to sing, and it teaches a great message.

Thanks again Natalie ad Josh. Lovely to hear you and to see those fingers dancing over the keys again!! Thanks for the Awakening Chorus - that was about the right speed and reminded me of the days when our little group of singers in Stanmore (UK) used to sing it: it was challenging! In your "new" John Peterson book you will find "I believe in miracles" which goes very well with "It took a miracle". Would love to hear you play those together sometime, please. Looking forward to receiving your new CD.....thanks

Hi Natalie. Hope you doing good! Nice to see a new arrangement of the Piano. Did you shift it elsewhere. In the centre of God's will is a beautiful Hymn. Today was a 'Plain Play'.

[@bryaneast2513]

'In the Centre of God's Will' is new to me as well, but I really liked the words you read. 'Come Let us all Unite and Sing' does not appear to have a 'tune' name. It is to be found in: 'Sacred Songs & Solos' Twelve Hundred Pieces complied under the direction of Ira D. Sankey. My copy (which I purchased in the 1960's) lists publishers in Canada as 'Evangelical Publishers' 241 Yonge Street, Toronto - I do not know if they are still in business; also, I am not sure if this volume is still in print. Many thanks for a great selection of hymns. Rev Bryan V East
