but seriously, it is quite amazing to hear 2 songs Michael has been working on for his new "album" that will be coming out some time next spring..
being part of some of the background vocals for one of them was out of this world..
the other one, that he played for us during the Sunday church service is what God has been using in my life over the last few days...
since I love the kind of music he writes, obviously, and love his voice.. :) it's often the lyrics that make a song stand out for me... God uses those to minister to my soul...
this is what this one, and I don't remember if he told us the song title... says:
( and I didn't tape the whole song... so this is all I have)
........ ( missed the first part... )
you are working in our waiting,
you are sanctifying us,
beyond our understanding,
you are teaching us to trust.
your plans are still to prosper,
you have not forgotten us,
your are with us in the fire and the flood,
you are faithful forever,
perfect in love
you are sovereign over us
you are wisdom unimagined,
who could understand your ways,
reigning high above the heavens
reaching down in endless grace..
....... ( missing a phrase here... sorry..)
compassionate and kind
you surround and you uphold me
and your promises are my delight..
your plans are still to prosper,
you have not forgotten us,
your are with us in the fire and the flood,
you are faithful forever,
perfect in love
you are sovereign over us
even what the enemy means for evil
you turn it for our good
for your glory
even in the valley you are faithful
you are working for our good
for your glory..
your plans are still to prosper,
you have not forgotten us,
your are with us in the fire and the flood,
you are faithful forever,
perfect in love
you are sovereign over us
amazing how God orchestrates things.... perfect comfort at the perfect time... nothing new, just put in words and to music that stirs my soul...
He has not forgotten me... He is working in the waiting... and He is always working for our good.. for His glory.. because He is faithful...
a wonderful start to a new week... to Him be the glory forever Amen!!!
thanks for the sneak peak. Sounds wonderful! and Yes to Him be the Glory!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great song, but actually not an original by W. This is a song from an Artist named Aaron Keyes. Keyes began writing the song with W's son in law, then finished on his own.
