Songs in My Heart

I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day.

Yesterday, I woke up with this old hymn on my heart. I sang it all morning long…

We praise thee, O God, For the Son of thy love, For Jesus who died And is now gone above.

Hallelujah, thine the glory!
Hallelujah, Amen!
Hallelujah, thine the glory!
Revive us again

This morning, I woke up and went to make coffee and I started singing.

Christ, the Lord, is ris’n today, Alleluia!
All on earth with angels say. Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing ye heav’ns and earth reply, Alleluia

I love it when God puts songs on my heart.
And now…
Up from the grave He arose
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes
He arose a Victor from the dark domain
And He lives forever with His saints to reign
He arose! (He arose)
He arose! (He arose)
Hallelujah! Christ arose

My solid Baptist upbringing coming through. Some people might say a song is stuck in your head.
I rather say they are…
HIDDEN IN MY HEART.

“Revive Us Again” is a hymn written by William Mackay in 1867

Charles Wesley wrote the song “Christ the Lord Is Risen Today” in 1739.

Robert Lowry wrote the hymn “Up From the Grave He Arose” in 1874.

Today I Worship and Give Thanks

After yesterday’s post I feel I was put to the test to… “find the good in every situation.” It was as if I posted it and satan mocked me with a challenge. I reminded myself all day that there is good even in this situation. Answers not so much yet.

I struggled through last night, woke up early. Today’s quote is another reminder. I can respond with worship.

Along that line, I am putting my ear buds in and playing some of my most loved worship songs. Many of these are from my friend and psalmist, Pam Singer.

Her voice is so rich and her music comes from her heart. It draws me deeper into a peace that only comes from God.

There is a link in yesterday’s post to one of Pam’s songs. No video. Just close your eyes and listen.

“I have learned that in every circumstance that comes my way, I can choose to respond in one of two ways: I can whine or I can worship! And I can’t worship without giving thanks. It just isn’t possible. When we choose the pathway of worship and giving thanks, especially in the midst of difficult circumstances, there is a fragrance, a radiance, that issues forth out of our lives to bless the Lord and others.” ~Nancy Leigh DeMoss
