“To” & “From” Songs, Vol. 1

Here begins a new three-part series (I know, I know, I know!) featuring songs with the words "To" and "From" in their titles. Since these words are so common, I limited myself to choosing only songs with titles that BEGIN with one of these words. Even so, the choices were many and the chosen are solid. I always say "Enjoy!", but this time (and the time after that, and the time after that) I really think you will.  ~  JH

Yeah, I know. Some of you are still like, "WHO?")

Here's another entry in my ongoing series of posts featuring faith-based songs centered around a theme. This time up, the songs are about the kingdom of God. Inspiration for the post came from my recently hearing and loving the first song in this collection. But I enjoyed discovering (or hearing again) all the other songs in this set as well.
