I Will Sing

Today's church message was very powerful and very fitting after I spoke to the Junior High youth group. It was a very moving day and I was really blessed. Today's post is a little out of the ordinary. I want to bring focus to the Lyrics of the song- I Will Sing by Don Moen and a few bible verses. Those of you who couldn't make it to church here is some of a very powerful message brought to you.

Lord You seem so far away. A million miles or more it feels today.
And though I haven't lost my faith, I must confess right now that it's hard for me to pray.
But I don't know what to say and I don't know where to start.
But as you give the grace with all that's in my heart.

I will sing.
I will praise even in my darkest time through the sorrow and the pain.

I will sing.
I will praise.
Lift my hands to honor You because Your word is true.

I will sing.
Lord is hard for me to see all the thought and plan You have for me.
But I will put my trust in You.
Lord will meet Your guide to set me free.
But I don't know what to say and I don't know where to start.
But as you give the grace with all that's in my heart.
I will sing.

I will praise even in my darkest time through the sorrow and the pain."
I will sing.
I will praise.
Lift my hands to honor You because Your word is true.
I will sing. (2 times)

Psalm 13:1-2, 5-6
How long, O LORD ? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts

and every day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
But I trust in your unfailing love;

my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing to the LORD,

for he has been good to me.

I have noticed answered prayer over these last few days although there is still so much going on I continue to have faith! What a wonderful Sunday and the wonderful weather surely has brightened the spirits!

Have a wonderful day,
Victoria

HI Victoria,
Beautiful post, my heart was encouraged.

Once when Paul and Silas were severely beaten and imprisoned for thier faith and open preaching of Jesus,

They were shackled and thrown into prison...there weak, wounds untreated, and then in the bleakest of circumstances, in the darkness,

They began to sing

they sang praises to God

The jailer and all fo the prisoners heard them, then as though a great earthquake shook the jail..

All of the prison doors flew open and the shakles fell to the ground as they sang!

The jailer wa about to kill himself for fear of the Roman penalty for loosing a prisoner, but Paul called out from the cell and said we're all here.

The prisoners, the jailer and all of his family were led to the Lord by Paul and Silas that day.

Out of prison and shakles God brought salvation.

Heres a link to a song Ray Boltz wrote inspired by this scripture.
