He is Lord

October 30, 2026

Welp, I knew I would run into this issue at some point, but I didn't figure it would be so soon in the journey. Sometimes, finding an accurate representation of an old hymn is challenging. This was one of those cases; while there are lots and lots and LOTS of recordings of the refrain, I struggled to find both the sheet music to the entire hymn (I have given up) and to find a recording of the entire hymn. Thanks to Zion Warriors for getting it right! You are going to have to trust me that they are singing it correctly, as I do not have permission to share the page in my hymnal that shows the whole song.

Today's hymn has text composed by several people: Linda Lee Johnson, Claire Cloniger, and Tom Fettke. Tom also created the music. There isn't much information on Linda, which is also frustrating because she is a fairly modern hymnwriter.

This hymn has its roots in Philippians 2:5-11, which was likely a very early hymn that Paul was including in his letter to the church at Philippi. No matter how we feel, or how our day goes, we would do well to remember the words in this hymn!

Link to the recording of the hymn. Thanks again, Zion Warriors!

Be blessed,
