Victory in Jesus - Becky Keeney

Becky Keeney wrote a wonderful article on the Christian Artist Street Team Blog  which features my  I Love Treble Glass Tile Pendant in February 2012.
I've included part of the article here:

Carol Maschler Jewelry
We had such a lovely church service yesterday.
It ended with the Hymn, 
Victory in Jesus!

This hymn was written in 
1939 by Eugene Bartlett,
(Copyright: BMI Work #1803360)
and it goes like this.
 I heard an old, old story,
How a Savior came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary
To save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning,
Of His precious blood's atoning,
Then I repented of my sins
And won the victory.
I love the reminder that the battle
was won at the moment of salvation!

The chorus tells us that He loved 
us first.  Before we even knew Him.....
Pretty incredible!

By the time the congregation got to the third verse
the volume had swelled and the praises were
winging Heavenward with gusto...
Someone had begun clapping
along with the music played on 
piano, violin, mandolin and drum....
the air was electric with praise.

In this song, as in so many
of the lasting hymns the final verse
points directly to our eternal hope.
It paints a word picture of our arrival
in Heaven.  A place prepared for us.

If you have ever had a house built for you
the idea of new construction is likely daunting.
But with Jesus as our mansion builder
we can be sure that it will be completed
on deadline and that everything will be
just as it should be.
So it is no wonder that songwriters over
the years have ended their songs
with this inspiration.

As the church pianist I am in a unique
position to really hear and feel the reaction of the 
congregation to the music. 
Sometimes they are simply processing 
words and notes.
But not today.
