My Birthday Song: An Awesome Medley of Hymns that Saved Millions

The sacred melodies that shaped generations of faith still have the power to move us today. In this deeply personal episode, Ken Mercer celebrates his birthday by sharing something uniquely special – a beautiful mashup of four timeless hymns that have guided millions on their spiritual journeys.

As Ken travels across America, he's noticed something concerning: the gradual disappearance of traditional hymns from worship services. While embracing modern praise music, he reminds us why these classical compositions deserve preservation. "Hundreds of millions found salvation singing these old hymns," he explains, describing how these same songs have also served as spiritual lifelines, helping countless believers find their way back to faith after taking wrong turns in life.

The heart of this episode is Ken's birthday gift to listeners – a moving performance blending "Amazing Grace," "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus," "Just as I Am," and "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" into a single, powerful composition. 

His arrangement breathes new life into these classics while honoring their profound messages. The interactive nature of the performance, with listeners joining in singing "Hallelujah," creates a warm sense of community that transcends time and distance. 

Whether these hymns are familiar favorites or new discoveries for you, this musical celebration offers a moment to reflect on the enduring power of sacred music to connect us across generations. Join Ken in celebrating not just another year of life, but the timeless songs that have given spiritual life to so many.
