I Do Not Long to Look on God

I do not long to look on God
       with fugitive and sneaking eyes.

I do not long to touch His hem
       with hands that drove his nails.

I do not long to praise His name
       with this tongue which speaks no truth.

I delight not in the voice of God
       --I whose ears are tuned to flattery.


Sometime soon I'll die,
and in faith, by Grace,
home to his face I'll fly.

When that time comes,
but for faith
and His Grace so steady
would I go
kicking and screaming:
"Wait! More time!
I am not ready!"

Finally!

After over six months of technical difficulties, including an incredible degree and variety of never-ending frustrations, 1964 is here.

It's tempting fate to say it, but now that I've figured out how to overcome roughly 3 billion technical obstacles to producing these videos, they should come fairly steadily from here on out. This is helped by the fact that I've switched to using Windows Movie Maker, which is more efficient than what I was using before (though it's certainly not without its own problems!).

Chart Sweep Status Update

Nearly every day someone asks me "Where is the next Chart Sweep update? I can't sleep or hold down food until I see it."

It's true that it's been a long time since the 1963 installment went up, but this isn't for lack of zeal on my part. Instead, my video editor decided to stop working properly so I've been forced to put it on hold for the moment. I'm in intermittent contact with the people at AVS Media, but in the meantime, if anyone has a basic video editor that supports subtitles that they could send me, let me know.

Stay tuned, though. 1964 is gonna be the best yet.
