I know I haven't posted in a while. I was driving in my car yesterday on the way to Whataburger (I really love cheeseburgers) and this song came on. I was so thankful and listened to every word of it. The part of this song that always strikes me is "Can circumstances possibly change who I forever am in You."....At first, and in my darkest times I wanted my answer to be no. I wanted to be able to say No Lord, circumstances of this world can not possibly change who I am in you. But yesterday...I thought about saying Yes. Yes simply b/c circumstances of this world- that are from the Lord are changing who I forever am in Him and I am so incredibly thankful. You've got to read all of these lyrics and if you want, download the song. It's by Mercy Me. And again- I also think of the strength to sing these words. I'm not sure any of us want to ask for "rain" but it is what we are called to do if it brings Him Glory. Turn it up...sing it loud, it's a good one.
I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You
Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray
Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain
I am Yours regardless of
The dark clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what's a little rain
So I pray
Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty

Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty

Who sings that song? I'd love to hear it!
Okay, this is a God moment for me. Just this morning at 4:45 to go workout I hear this song and think, I have got to find it and download it. When I looked for it I couldn't remember the title or the group so I quit looking hoping I could locate it. I found it thanks to God working through you. I need this song in my life right now and it's always amazing how God continues to speak through His daughter to me. dad
