Singing Through Life

Kind of like dancing through life, except moving your vocal cords and articulators instead of the rest of your body. These three songs (in addition to a counseling session and a bunch of really great friends :)) have got me through the last 5 days. And I can thankfully say I'm in a much more content place right now. Am I happy that my family went on a cruise without me? No Am I ok with it? Moreso now than I have been over the last month. Will things continue to get better? Yes

The first song is one we sang in chapel on Tues, the second two are ones I heard on the radio. And no, I don't blame you if you don't feel like reading through 3 songs worth of lyrics, I skip them a lot in blogs.

Overwhelmed

I am nothing, yet You bid me

Come to You, o Lord Almighty

As I come I'm overwhelmed with You.

Humbly now I break the silence

As I'm weeping in Your presence

I'm so wretched, overwhelmed with You.

Your blood of redemption

Is covering my shame (echo)

Your voice that shakes the heavens

Is whispering my name (echo)

As You catch my tears with Your nail-scarred hand

I'm overwhelmed, I'm overwhelmed with You.

I'm overwhelmed, I'm overwhelmed with You.

I am nothing, yet You bid me

Come to You, o Lord Almighty

Song of Hope
Robbie Seay Band

All things bright and beautiful You are
All things wise and wonderful You are
In my darkest night, You brighten up the skies
A song will rise

I will sing a song of hope
Sing along
God of heaven come down
Heaven come down
Just to know that You are near is enough
God of heaven come down, heaven come down

All things new
I can start again
Creator, God
Calling me Your friend
Sing praise, my soul
To the Maker of the skies
A song will rise

I will sing a song of hope
Sing along
God of heaven come down
Heaven come down
Just to know You and be loved is enough
God of heaven come down, heaven come down

Hallelujah, sing
Hallelujah, sing
Hallelujah, sing

Let Go
PFR
If there is only one God, why do we serve so many
If there is only one law, why do we live like there aren't any
I'm not trying to get you down. I just want you to know
That if you're gonna live for God, you've got to let go

Gotta let go of the little things, before they get you down
Gotta let go or they'll drag you to the bottom and hold you down
It's a war we all fight, and compromise is the battleground
But if you're ever gonna grow, you've got to let go

If there is only one truth, one original way
Why do we search like blind men
Can't see the sunshine in the light of day
We've got to turn around and run the other way
Cause if were gonna live for God,
We've got to turn away

Turn away from the little things
Before they get you down
Turn away or they'll drag us to the bottom
And hold us down
It's a war we all fight
And compromise is the battleground
But is we're ever gonna change
We've got to turn away

God's in control of everything, trust in Him Lindsey
