What are you listening to


Where would we be without the gift of song?

We can sing of our joy, of our sadness, and of our praise to God. We can express the longing of our souls for His presence, and we can also give testimony to the peace of His indwelling.

God gave us this gift . . . are you exercising it today? What are you listening to?

Up Calvary's mountain one dreadful morn
Walked Christ my Savior, weary and worn
Facing for sinners, death on the cross
That He might save them from endless loss

Blessed Redeemer, precious Redeemer
Seems now I see Him on Calvary's tree
Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading
Blind and unheeding, dying for me

"Father, forgive them," my Savior prayed
Even while His lifeblood flowed fast away
Praying for sinners while in such woe
No one but Jesus ever loved so

Blessed Redeemer, precious Redeemer
Seems now I see Him on Calvary's tree
Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading
Blind and unheeding, dying for me

Oh, how I love Him, Savior and Friend
How can my praises ever find end?
Through years unnumbered on Heaven's shore
My songs shall praise Him forevermore

  1. I had some anxious moments last evening, over something that wasn't even a problem. I hadn't heard our daughter come home, now smelled anything cooking, so I ended up with this fear that something had happened to her. The reason it wasn't a problem was that she often comes in, and we don't here her, but for some reason, last evening the fear took hold. So, I went to the chorus of this song, by Stephen Curtis Chapman, that says over and over again, "I will trust You..."
    "I Will Trust You"

    I don't even wanna breathe right now
    All I wanna do is close my eyes
    But I don't wanna open them again
    Until I'm standing on the other side

    I don't even wanna be right now
    I don't wanna think another thought
    And I don't wanna feel this pain I feel
    And right now, pain is all I've got

    It feels like it's all I've got, but I know it's not
    No, I know You're all I've got
    And I will trust You, I'll trust You
    Trust You, God, I will
    Even when I don't understand, even then I will say again
    You are my God, and I will trust You

    God, I'm longing for the day to come
    When this cloudy glass I'm looking through
    Is shattered in a million pieces
    And finally I can just see You

    God, You know I believe it's true
    I know I will see You
    But until the day I do

    I will trust You, trust You
    Trust You, God, I will
    Even when I don't understand
    Even then I will say again

    You are my God, and I'll trust You
    And with every breath I take
    And for every day that breaks
    I will trust You
    I will trust You
    And when nothing is making sense
    Even then I will say again

    God, I trust You
    I will trust You
    I know Your heart is good
    I know Your love is strong
    And I know Your plans for me
    Are much better than my own

    So I will trust You, trust You
    I trust You, God, I do
    Even when I can't see the end
    And I will trust You
    I will trust You, I will
    Even when I don't understand
    Even then I will say again

    I will trust You, I will trust You, I will
    I know Your heart is good,
    Your love is strong,
    Your plans for me are better than my own
    Yeah, Your heart is good
    Your love is strong
    Your plans for me are better than my own
    And I trust You
    You are my God
    And I will trust You
