Tough Times

Diane Louise Jordan plays uplifting spiritual music, starting with the Boney M classic 'Rivers of Babylon', and lights virtual candles for those who have requested prayer.

On this first Sunday in Lent, Diane Louise Jordan explores what people learn from "wilderness" experiences based on Jesus's temptations in the desert.

She plays spiritually uplifting and inspiring music - traditional and modern - and the show starts with the classic song "By the Rivers of Babylon" sung by Dee Delroy Williams. Also in the show are Amy Grant with her version of "Love has a hold on me" and the traditional Lenten hymn "Forty Days and Forty Nights" sung by the choir of Gloucester Cathedral.

Requests continue to arrive at The Sunday Hour office for all types of music and this morning Roger Whittaker's version of "Morning Has Broken" makes it through to the programme. Diane continues to hear from listeners by letter, e-mail and social media, and responds by lighting virtual candles for those who have requested prayer.
