What A Friend We Have In Jesus

I know I have sung many a Christian hymn and just got caught up in the feeling while sing inspired songs.  I am embarrassed to say that many times I don’t pay close attention to the words.  Sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. Shame on me.  This is one such hymn, a lovely hymn and an inspiring hymn about leaning on the Savior with our trials and troubles.

Mens Cross Necklace

Feel free to comment and tell everyone your favorite part o this wonderful hymn.

What a Friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there.

Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised
Thou wilt all our burdens bear
May we ever, Lord, be bringing all to
Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright unclouded there
will be no need for prayer
Rapture, praise and endless worship
will be our sweet portion there.
(Joseph Scriven)

How Many Genre’s Of Sterling Silver Cross Necklaces Are There?

Just how many genre’s of the sterling silver cross necklace are there? No one is in a position to answer that question regarding cross necklaces with a number.

To me, I see the answer to be along the lines of  this; there are as many genres of cross necklaces as there are artistic time period changes since the cross became a Christian symbol. Also adding that there are as many genre’s of the cross necklace as there are Christian cultures. Add to that, there are as many genres of crosses as there are Christian religions that wanted to add a certain element to their cross symbol. Add to that, in modern times, the last 50 years or so there are as many necklace cross genre’s as there are contemporary Christian jewelry designers.

Cross Necklace

The necklace cross genre is pretty much infinite especially sterling silver cross necklaces. Gold cross necklaces have far fewer genre’s of cross necklaces because Christian jewelry designers can’t afford to work in gold as much as they can in sterling silver. Sterling silver cross necklaces are more reflective than any other precious metal including gold. The sterling silver  cross pendant necklace is more affordable, by far, than the gold cross pendant necklace.
