I was so blessed listening and singing

[annrobert]

I was listening to a worship cd this evening and I was so deeply blessed,
and I had to think,

Do I put God first?

Do I exalt Him above my suffering?

Do I put Him above my feelings?

Do I exalt Him above all my needs?

Above all my worries?

Above all my hurts?

above my past?

Do I exalt Him above all?

Is He Lord of my heart totally?

He is God, He is God of all, therefore I must surrender entirely to my Lord.

Everything and all

Truly He is exalted for above ALL gods

He is Lord

high above the earth

My strength and Fortress

my God

My Saviour

I can trust Him

I will praise Him in good times and bad

Because Jesus lives, I can face tomorrow and life is worth living



For Thou, O Lord, art high above all the earth.

Thou art exalted far above all gods.

For Thou, O Lord, art high above all the earth.

Thou art exalted far above all gods.


We exalt Thee, we exalt Thee, we exalt Thee, O Lord.

We exalt Thee, we exalt Thee, we exalt Thee, O Lord


Blessed Be Your Name
by Matt Redman

Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name

God sent His Son They called Him Jesus

Because He Lives ​

He came to love,
heal and forgive
Because He Lives ​

He lived and died,
to buy my pardon
Words and Music by William and Gloria Gaither; © 1971, William J. Gaither ​

Because He Lives ​

Because He lives,
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives,
all fear is gone​

Because He Lives ​

Because I know
who holds the future​

Because He Lives ​

My life is worth
the living
just because He lives​

Because He Lives ​

How sweet to hold
a newborn baby​

Because He Lives ​

And feel the pride
and joy He gives​

Because He Lives ​

But greater still
the calm assurance​

Because He Lives ​

This child can face
uncertain days
because He lives​

Because He Lives ​

Because He lives,
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives,
all fear is gone​

Because He Lives ​

Because I know
who holds the future​

Because He Lives ​

My life is worth
the living
just because He lives​

Because He Lives ​

And then one day
I’ll cross the river​

Because He Lives ​

I’ll fight life’s final
war with pain​

And then as death
gives way to victory​

Because He Lives ​

I’ll see the lights
of glory and
I’ll know He lives​

Because He lives,
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives,
all fear is gone​

Because He Lives ​

Because I know
who holds the future​

My life is worth
the living
just because He lives​

Thank you for this post

Thanks for sharing that and bringing it to our minds. It's so true. He must be more real than my feelings, more important than my feelings or circumstances.

It is so good to sing and praise God, I don't do it often enough.
