If you're like me, you often find yourself spending numerous hours cooking and cleaning your kitchen each week. Over the last several months, I have been using this regular time each week to sing and memorize hymns. In order to memorize all the verses to a hymn, I have to pay more attention to the lyrics, which allows to me to discover the entire message of the song. Singing hymns throughout the day helps me to focus on the Lord, and not on my earthly circumstances.
I came across the idea to post hymns on the inside of my kitchen cabinet doors at a friend's home. Recently, I have begun propping my spiral-bound hymn book on the kitchen window ledge so I can sing more hymns. One of my favorite hymns is Yesterday, Today, Forever; especially verse two.

Yesterday, Today, Forever
Words by Albert B. Simpson, 1890
O how sweet the glorious message simple faith may claim
Yesterday, today, forever Jesus is the same.
Still He loves to save the sinful, heal the sick and lame
Cheer the mourner, still the tempest, glory to His name.
Refrain
Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus is the same.
All may change, but Jesus never! Glory to His name!
Glory to His name! Glory to His name!
All may change, but Jesus never! Glory to His name!
He who pardoned erring Peter never needest thou fear,
He who came to faithless Thomas all thy doubt will clear;
He who let the loved disciple on His bosom rest
Bids thee still, with love as tender, lean upon His breast.
Refrain
He who ‘mid the raging billows walked upon the sea
Still can hush our wildest tempest, as on Galilee;
He who wept and prayed in anguish in Gethsemane
Drinks with us each cup of trembling, in our agony.
