Can you give me the words to the hymn "This is the Day that the Lord has made?? I hear it a lot in Haiti and would love to sing along.

They usually sing it in French. I haven't heard it in Creole.
 

C’est la journée, que le Seigneur a fait
‘ce soit pour nous, un sujet de joie
C’est la journée, que le Seigneur a fait
‘Ce soit pour nous, un sujet de joie
C’est la journée, que le Seigneur a fait


You might also hear this slightly different version also:

Voici le jour, que Dieu a crée
Qu’il soit pour nous un sujet de joie
Voici le jour, que Dieu a crée
Qu’il soit pour nous un sujet de joie
Voici le jour, que Dieu a crée

Is there an easy way to print off all your blog posts and download all of your audio lessons?

I added a PRINT button where you can print each post. Try it.
I'm not sure how to print all the posts unless you export them. I'll read up on it.
I'll try adding a list of archives by title (if I'm successful at it).

I also think that downloading can be done on a 'per post' basis too.
Download links for all Audios are in this label: http://sweetcoconuts.blogspot.com/search/label/%22AUDIO%20LESSONS%22
