Song for Every Season

There are times where I am hurting for several reasons-could be a severe trial or a genuine remorse for a repeated sin before my Holy God. And I am without words as the burden is too heavy to bear. At times like this, a song can be such a balm to your soul as it lifts up your spirits.

One such song that lifted me up during that time was, “It is well with my soul”

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

I love the chorus!! “It is well, with my soul, It is well, it is well, with my soul.”

“...I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.” Philippians 4:11b

Blessed Be Your Name!

I love to sing this song as it reminds me again and again of the need to bless God's name no matter what situation I may be in...It is irrelevant! Just meditating on the words is soothing to my aching soul!!!! Lord Jesus, I choose to worship You and give thanks at all times, Blessed be Your NAME!!!


Blessed Be Your Name
By Matt Redman

Blessed be Your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in,
LordStill I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in,
Lord Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in,
Lord Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
But my heart will choose to say
Lord blessed be your name

Blessed be the name of the lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the lord
Blessed be your glorious name

Turn your eyes upon Jesus

I just know the refrain of this beautiful song. And as I sing and truly focus my thoughts on my Saviour and Lord, I pray dear Lord that "the things of this world would grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace" Will you sing with me??

O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!

Refrain:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.


Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
O’er us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conquerors we are!


His Word shall not fail you—He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

By Helen .H. Lemmel

The Glory Of The Cross

There is so much truth spelled out in this song about the wondrous work of God on the cross and how God's glory shines brightly on the cross. Sang this song at church last Sunday and was truly blessed.

"The Glory Of The Cross"

What wisdom once devised the plan
Where all our sin and pride
Was placed upon the perfect Lamb
Who suffered, bled, and died?
The wisdom of a Sovereign God
Whose greatness will be shown
When those who crucified Your Son
Rejoice around Your throne

And, oh, the glory of the cross
That You would send Your Son for us
I gladly count my life as loss
That I might come to know
The glory of, the glory of the cross

What righteousness was there revealed
That sets the guilty free
That justifies ungodly men
And calls the filthy clean?
A righteousness that proved to all
Your justice has been met
And holy wrath is satisfied
Through one atoning death

What mercy now has been proclaimed
For those who would believe
A love incomprehensible
Our minds could not conceive?
A mercy that forgives my sin
Then makes me like Your Son
And now I’m loved forevermore
Because of what You’ve done
