In several of my recent blogs, you have seen that the Lord has been waking me up with a song in my heart. The first time I realized this was happening followed a time when I exercised my obedience to an assignment that the Lord gave me back in April this year. The task required that I step way outside my comfort zone. God required my faith and trust for this work He had called me to do.
I did step out in faith and trusted God to guide me through this challenge to carry out his plans. Of course, He faithfully walked me through each step of the journey. Awaking me with the lyrics of unique worship songs every morning became one of the ways God rewarded me for my obedience. The topics of these songs became the subjects of my morning quiet times with the Lord. It has been a blessing and encouragement to me that continues to remunerate me even now when I pay attention.
The lesson God continues to remind me of is this: In order for the Holy Spirit to make things known to me through Scripture and the lyrics of great worship songs, I need to make it my practice to spend time reading his Word and listening to Christian music. Reading the Bible and feeding our minds at all times, in all ways, with the goodness of God is key to experiencing the voice of God in our thoughts on a regular basis.
The song verse that woke me this morning was, “Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing.” By Darlene Zschech. What a wonderful reminder of the power and majesty of King Jesus. Rather than listening to God’s voice this morning, I will use the joyful words of my lips to praise God for his greatness. Let’s make it our daily practice to be in the Word of God filling our thoughts with the goodness of God!
Shout To The Lord – Darlene Zschech Lyrics
My Jesus, my Savior
Lord, there is none like You
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love
My comfort, my shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship You
Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing
Power and majesty, praise to the King
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name
I sing for joy at the work of Your hands
Forever I’ll love You, forever I’ll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in
You My Jesus, my Savior Lord, there is none like You
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love
My comfort, my shelter Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship You
Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing
Power and majesty, praise to the King
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name I sing for joy at the work of Your hands
Forever I’ll love You, forever I’ll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have
Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing
Power and majesty, praise to the King
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name
I sing for joy at the work of Your hands
Forever I’ll love You, forever I’ll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You
