Today’s song is perhaps my favorite about Thankfulness…even at the worst of times, on a really bad day (like the one I am currently having), I have so much to thank the Lord for.
He forgives all my sins.
He heals all my diseases.
He redeems my life from the pit.
He crowns me with love and compassion.
He sees me. He knows me. He loves me.
My heart is filled.
My heart breaks for the pain running rampant all over the world today. I grieve over lives lost due to evil, evil hate.
Today’s song doesn’t necessarily use words like thankfulness and gratitude, but it is a song of praise.
It beautifully recounts all the reasons we have to sing praise and thank Him.
“All the blessing he deserves poured on my unworthy soul”
(Please ignore the typos in the video).
Have a blessed Sunday.
Here I am….November 1.
It’s the first day in a month that I don’t “have to” blog, but it’s almost become habit and I want to keep going.
I won’t write about truth every day anymore, but I don’t want to forsake it completely, either. I enjoyed the Sunday Song posts because music has always been one of the biggest influences in my life.
I plan to continue the Sunday Song series at least through the end of 2015. The months of November and December lend themselves easily to this. In the weeks leading about to Thanksgiving, I will share songs that cultivate thankfulness. In December my focus will turn to Advent in preparation for Christmas. Please join me.
Today’s song is one I’ve known my whole life. It must be over thirty years old. I clearly remember sitting on the floor of our house group while my dad led the group in worship. I couldn’t have been more than four years old. I had recently recovered from pneumonia and while the adults around me sang this song, I realized for the first time that I had something to thank God for. He’d healed me. I remember feeling elated and finally part of the “club” although I still didn’t know what it meant.
Let the weak say, “I am strong”
Let the poor say, “I am rich”
Because of what the Lord has done for us
Give thanks…
Dennis Jernigan may not be a familiar name to most, but he was the most-played artist in my house growing up. He is arguably one of the greatest Truthtellers I’ve found, and his songs of ministry do just that: he sings the Truth over us.
This song is my all-time favorite. Hear the words of the Father today.
Today’s song echoes many of the truths I’ve talked about this week. Nichole Nordeman has been one of my favorite singer/songwriters since high school and her new EP did not disappoint. She is, in my mind, a truthteller.
Happy Sunday! Here is “Name”
I have had this song on repeat since I first heard it months ago. It speaks for itself.
Each Sunday during October, I decided to highlight a song that speaks to the Truth. It’s an opportunity to hear, reflect, believe, and worship.
Today’s song is “Will Justice Reign?” by Kathryn Scott. It describes our longing and need for Truth…echoes of Isaiah 59.
