Four hymns by Shirley Erena Murray
John Thornley — June 5, 2024
Played on community radio - for online listening in July
Wesley Broadway, Palmerston North in partnership with Manawatu People’s Radio (MPR)
The following four hymns are found in Alleluia Aotearoa (1996) and originally featured on TV One’s Praise Be programme
‘Where mountains rise to open skies’
‘Every day I will offer you/loving God my heart and mind’
‘God of all time, all seasons of our living’
‘Who is my mother?, who is my brother?’
These provide spiritual comfort and challenge to those who find it difficult to get to services, those who now live in resthomes, those seeking songs that speak to our land and people.
This programme runs through July and can be downloaded from the recent programmes : www.mpr.nz/show/wesley. It remains on the listings during the months of August/September.
Worship leaders will find strong hymns for the Pentecost season, written by our own New Zealand hymn writers.
Programme hosts: Gilllian and John Thornley (johngill@inspire.net.nz)
