We have a worship tradition here at First Baptist Church of Center, Texas. At the beginning of each year - in January - and at the beginning of each church year - in September - we sing an extraordinary song. It's a song of hope, a song of purpose, a song of vision. It's called “Days of Elijah”.

This Sunday, our worship teams will call our congregation to worship with one of the oldest hymns in the hymnbook.  And it isn't really even a hymn.  It's a doxology.  The word comes from the Greek "doxa", meaning glory, and "logia", to say.  So, literally, a doxology is an expression of praise.  And, historically, it has been employed as a "tag" to hymns.  The "hallelujah" at the end of many of the Psalms could be considered doxologies.

On September 28, 1968, the Beatles’ song “Hey Jude” became the #1 song in the world. Many consider it the greatest of all the great songs that came from that group in the ‘60’s. And for many, it was their one and only connection to that name ”Jude”. But there was another.
