"Hospital Choir" has been singing in hospitals, nursing homes, prisons, market places and church meetings for almost 40 years. The assembly of the choir has changed many times during all these years, but there are several faithful members who have been with us all along.
The purpose of our choir is to bring good news of God's unconditional love to places where people are too weak to come to the church anymore. The Lord has faithfully opened us doors to go in - and He has been so faithful to us as well.
We are a "little flock" with small abilities - most of us are amateurs - but our Lord is so great and wonderful. When we let Jesus fill us with His grace and love, His life can shine through us in this dark world.
All the glory and honor belongs to our Savior, Jesus Christ!
Story behind the song
This is a wonderful song of our "court composer" and friend, Ralph Merrifield. We have been singing his songs since 2003. Marja Väisänen translated this song to Finnish and also made the arrangement for our choir. We recorded it live in 2004 at our New Years seminar.
The original song and other wonderful songs of Ralph and his friends can be found at his web-site: http://newhopemusic.com.

JOKAIKISESSÄ TILANTEESSA
(In Every Single Situation copyright 1979 & 1992 Ralph P. Merrifield)
Translation and choir arrangement 2004 Marja Väisänen
Jokaikisessä tilanteessa, mihin joudunkaan,
oppia saan Jumalaa tuntemaan.
Jokaikisessä tilanteessa, mihin joudunkaan,
oppia saan Herraa tuntemaan.
1. Oppia saan rakkauttaan.
Hellästi Jeesus johdattaa.
Jokaikisessä tilanteessa, mihin joudunkaan,
oppia saan Herraa tuntemaan.
Jokaikisessä tilanteessa, mihin joudunkaan,
oppia saan Jumalaa tuntemaan.
Jokaikisessä tilanteessa, mihin joudunkaan,
oppia saan Herraa tuntemaan.
2. Oppia saan viisauttaan.
Hiljaa Hän kuiskaa neuvojaan.
Jokaikisessä tilanteessa, mihin joudunkaan,
oppia saan Herraa tuntemaan.
Jokaikisessä tilanteessa, mihin joudunkaan,
oppia saan Jumalaa tuntemaan.
Jokaikisessä tilanteessa, mihin joudunkaan,
oppia saan Herraa tuntemaan.
3. Oppia saan laupeuttaan.
Armonsa riittää aina vaan.
Jokaikisessä tilanteessa, mihin joudunkaan,
oppia saan Herraa tuntemaan,
oppia saan Herraa tuntemaan,
oppia saan Herraa tuntemaan.

Translation from the Finnish words to English:
In every single situation that I come into,
I learn to know God.
In every single situation that I come into,
I learn to know the Lord.
1. I learn His love.
So gently He leads me.
In every single situation that I come into,
I learn to know the Lord.
In every single situation that I come into,
I learn to know God.
In every single situation that I come into,
I learn to know the Lord.
2. I learn His wisdom.
Quietly He whisperes His advice.
In every single situation that I come into,
I learn to know the Lord.
In every single situation that I come into,
I learn to know God.
In every single situation that I come into,
I learn to know the Lord.
3. I learn His mercy.
His grace is always sufficient.
In every single situation that I come into,
I learn to know the Lord,
I learn to know the Lord,
I learn to know the Lord.

IN EVERY SINGLE SITUATION
Original lyrics by Ralph Merrifield
In every single situation You put me through
I'm learnin' more about You
I'm learnin' more about You
In every single situation You put me through
I'm learnin' more, more about You
More about Your love, more about Your plan
More about Your gentle guiding hand
In every single situation You put me through
I'm learnin' more, more about You.
