"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion — to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."~from ISAIAH 61 Bible verse for this Blog

APOLOGY to READERS who followed a SEARCH to HERE & didn't find it

On July 18, 2017, I drafted almost 3000 blog posts that I had published since 2008 when I began blogging, rather than edit each one. So if you clicked here from somewhere else and ended up with the post unavailable or error, I am sorry but this is why. It'd be too much work for me to go back and fix them. There's an explanation on 7/19/17 as I'm still learning.

TIMELESS TUNES to Continue Celebrating

Did you know that the Church celebrates
the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ

(known to most as Easter, but I don't like 
the pagan connection, so I don't use that)

for 50 days?

In 2025, the season of celebration began on

April 20th

and ends on

June 8th

{both of those dates are birthdays of special friends}

"The Joy of the Resurrection is not meant
to last for just one day."

Day 1 was last Sunday, RESURRECTION SONday!

Today starts the 2nd week so Day 8 of 50.

June 8th is Pentecost Sunday!

Some refer to these 50 days as: 

"The Great 50 Days"

Others as Eastertide (not me), or Paschaltide
or instead of 'tide' - time

A festal season in the liturgical year - marking the high point 
of the Church's year and a "profound significance for our identity
as Christians (mainly Catholics) but it'd be great if we all
kept finding this season to celebrate with expectation
the Holy Spirit

<>

Because I am a linguistic nerd - lover of languages & origins of words
(etymology)
I can't resist sharing on "Paschal".
The only time that I can recall hearing this word, 
it was connected to Lamb:
the Paschal Lamb

"Paschal is the English adjectival form of the Greek word pascha, which is derived from the Hebrew word pesah (or pesach), which means “passover.”The Pesach or Passover is the Jewish Feast celebrating the Israelites' deliverance from slavery in Egypt (see Exodus, chapter 12), focusing on the Tenth Plague and its results."... St. Mary's Press (a pdf for much more)

[a very informative 6 pages of background]

{If you're not a nerd like me, than the boxed portion is enough - it's enough for me too}

As GREAT as it is to continue celebrating this season

{and right about now, most of us need something to encourage us,
to celebrate and lift our Spirit, but that's Pentecost}

This time would be a wonderful season
to deepen & renew our walk
with Christ

Which is the real reason that I decided to share this blog post

During Holy Week, from Palm Sunday until Good Friday,

I discovered a beautiful new "music" to help me

through the week and also to calm my spirit

to sleep better & more peacefully.

The You Tube videos are so beautiful - the images are gorgeous!

and the music, so fresh & simply enjoyable

in a relaxing kind of way

but I believe that there are some more lively.

I do not know Hebrew, however if I did, or could learn

more than "Yeshua"; these would be good to reinforce some.

I could not choose my favorite yet and I began a private playlist

although the Channel has some long-playing

Live streams available that are spectacular & inspiring

Live Radio also! (I think that's what makes the long-playing livestreams)

[this was the current one playing as I was preparing & listening as I type]

I so wanted to get online during Holy Week

to share 

TIMELESS HEBREW TUNES

It was such a blessing for me & a Spirit connection that I need

I don't want to spoil what I read in a comment

because for me, though I was surprised,

I couldn't comprehend this new 'thing'

and it did not matter!

May Ruach HaKodesh

(Holy Spirit)

come

&

move freely

as you open yourself

to some

Soul Restoration

{You'll delight & notice God's WORD as you listen}

<>

I don't know if this will embed without issues or problems

but here are a few individual ones that I randomly selected

[Click on title linked, if they're gone, or don't show up]

{the worst part is the ad interruptions}

I chose this to go with PASCHAL LAMB

PASSOVER SONG
The Lamb Who Saves



CARRY ME, The Day You Found Me



"WELL DONE, Good & Faithful Servant"



I really couldn't stop - it might be my personal place where I'm at, but for me, as 
you can probably see by now, I'll be continuing to celebrate PASCHAL time with 

COME TO ME
and REST
HEAL ME, YAH

Inspired by Matthew 11:28-30 & Jeremiah 17:14
[found in the video notes]

<>

No pressure, BUT

I do hope you give these a try (at least one) & celebrate with me

maybe with
COMFORT, My People
(Isaiah 40:1-2)

all of these GREAT 50 DAYS (minus 7 now).

<>

{and yes, of course, I also found devotionals for this 50 days time, 
but I've overdone myself with purchases of ebooks & books, 
so even if I found some pretty interesting ones, I must resist}

I need to just soak in this music & His Presence!
while I read what I have

Peace [Shalom] ~ Peggy

NOTE: I published early on purpose so you might listen as you rest this SONday
6 am instead of 6 pm

TOMORROW

Monday

"The Blue Book"

readings continue with

CHOSEN
by God

[yes, there's even one for this: I AM CHOSEN]

No, I can't choose, each one I listen to becomes another delightful tune

& when I take time to watch (with the captions) I just want to learn more 

including Hebrew, if I could only get the sounds better

BRING ME BACK
A Cry for Redemption & Peace

as I try to close

JESUS is so good & His Holy Spirit draws me more every time

I LISTEN & FOCUS & LEAN IN

* Oh, and by the way, RESTORE MY SOUL by Rachel Wojo was the 1st study I got & did from her; right along with Wendy Blight's "Rest for Your Soul". Both were the best rest for my soul!

  1. Early this morn, "Come to Me" & "Comfort My People" were a toss-up as my favorites but throughout my day & night; that "favorite" status changes & God speaks or tears flow, so I know His Spirit moves & pours out & restores my soul, with a bit more healing & at times a WORD sung that lifts my heart & touches my soul. Great is His Faithfulness!

  2. Oh, I’m so glad you found this music and decided to share these songs! What a blessing and I’ve only listened to 3 songs so far! “Carry Me” spoke to my heart like streams in the desert! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป❤️๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ•Š️๐ŸŽถ

    1. Oh I am so happy and hope that you enjoy more of them! (sigh) I understand why "Carry Me" spoke to your precious heart and your beautiful expression CHOSEN "like streams in the desert" - me, too (on repeat) - I hope that those "streams" were only in the desert places inside your soul & heart & not outward streams, like I found myself caught off guard during Holy Week & experienced, but the "streams" were healing & cleansing, drawing me into Jesus ... from Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 46:4 and Psalm 40:2-3 for the 2nd song included! The Live radio sometimes is the best but since I'm not familiar with the songs (yet) and there are no lyrics with the captivating scenes, it only plays in the background to soothe & calm my spirit. I really, truly hope that this You Tube channel would be a blessing & comfort to you as much as the "music" is to me. I hope you have time to connect & hear more that meet you right where you are and God (Yah) pours into you, your spirit & heart exactly what you need in that moment. I apologize that I did not share before now (a little 'late' here too-lol) I hope that each one sends a special squeeze hug to you ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ•Š️❤️(green & blue hearts too)! ๐ŸŽถ ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปthat "His hand reaching out to you ... when the waves rise ..." that you sense that He's carrying you - through! Just like you do with the words you share often with me in verses and comments that touch me deep within! Bless you sis! ~Peggy (I don't think I found this music, I believe the Spirit led me & the music found me right where I was and with exactly what I needed to hear!)

    2. Divine. ๐ค‰๐ค„ The word Yah (๐ค‰๐ค„) means “He Who Creates Life” and is the shortened name of the Alah of Yasharaal. The Paleo-Hebrew language or the original language of the ฤ€barayam is one spoken with an emphasis on the rauakh (breath, wind, spirit). #2110 • (yah) | Paleo-Hebrew Dictionary

      Paleo-Hebrew Dictionary
      https://www.paleohebrewdictionary.org › glossary › Yah
      ----
      Jah or Yah (Hebrew: ื™ָื”ּ‎, Yฤh) is a short form of the Tetragrammaton ื™ื”ื•ื” (YHWH), the personal name of God: Yahweh, which the ancient Israelites used. The conventional Christian English pronunciation of Jah is /หˆdส’ษ‘ห/, even though the letter J here transliterates the palatal approximant (Hebrew ื™ yodh).

  3. Truth be told, I did not resist getting a Pentecost devotional, however it didn't cost me anything so that's why I am sharing so maybe you can get it free also (on Kindle) - by Israel Holas
    https://www.amazon.com/EASTER-PENTECOST-DEVOTIONAL-Celebrate-Resurrection-ebook/dp/B0F2B9MT1M
    2025 EASTER TO PENTECOST DEVOTIONAL: 50 Days of Hope to Celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus and power of the Holy Spirit (Kindle Edition) I have found the first 9 days to be extremely well done and just the right size of devotional for me with Scripture Reading, Reflection, Prayer & Activity (a practical do-able challenge)
