Indelible Grace at the Ryman

I have been wanting to share this for a month now and finally have a little bit of time to do so. My good buddy Nicole invited me to a Hymn Sing by Indelible Grace at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN.

The Ryman- If you have not visited the Ryman you must! It was once a church and then the home to the Grand Ole Opry. It is absolutely breathtaking! Some folks that have played there are Johnny Cash, The Killers, Ben Harper, Wilco, Taylor Swift, and Neil Diamond....to name just a few.

The Hymn Sing-
Picture over a thousand people standing and singing hymns, with words that are deeply filled with the gospel. In the words of Nicole, it was glorious!

Indelible Grace started through a Reformed University Fellowship at Belmont University in Tennessee. The singer/songwriters joined our culture with the rich words of our forefathers. If you want a little more history of Indelible Grace check it out here.


Check out the words to some of these hymns: Give Reviving, Jesus I My Cross Have Taken, The Sands of Time Are Sinking, O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus, How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds, and Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder.

Here are the words to On Jordan's Stormy Banks-

On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan’s fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.

All o’er those wide extended plains,
Shines one eternal day;
There God the Son forever reigns,
And scatters night away.

No chilling winds nor poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness, sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.

When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blessed?
When shall I see my Father’s face,
And in His bosom rest?

I am bound,
I am bound for the promised land.



There IS something heavenly about singing hymns that all the saints, who have gone before us, have sung.
