I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord
Psalm 27: 13-14

Another post for the day...

I've shared before how music always seems to touch places in my heart and soul that nothing else can. Last week on the hunt for a gift for someone else I listened to a preview CD of Casting Crowns. The CD is called Until The Whole World Hears. Anyhow, as I skimmed through each song a couple just really hit home. And the tears welled up in my eyes. I had to quickly head to the bathroom to regroup, and then I decided this CD was "worthy" of my purchase. I listened to it on the way home...and cried some more. I just wanted to share the lyrics to a couple of these songs. It's not the same as listening to it as this group sings, but the words I hope will resonate in the mind. The first song is called "Always Enough" In a dry and weary land/ Lord, You are the rain / In a sea of shattered ones / Your love comes rushing in / You hold the world within Your hands / And see each tear that falls / Through every fire and every storm / You're always enough, always enough // Your love is peace to the broken / Faith for the widow, hope for the orphan / Strength for the weak / Your love is the anthem of nations / Rings out through the ages / And You're always enough for me // You keep my heart in perfect peace / My life is in Your hands / When confusion hides my way / You're always enough, always enough // I rejoice for my Savious reigns / I rejoice for He lives in me / God on high, He has set me free / Worthy is the Lord // I rejoice for my Savior reigns / I rejoice for He lives in me / God on high, He has set me free / Worthy is the Lord // In a dry and weary land / Lord, You are the rain The next song is called "At Your Feet" Here at Your feet, I lay my past down / My wanderings, all my mistakes down / And I am free // Here at Your feet, I lay this day down / Not in my strength, but in Yours I've found / All I need, You're all I need // Jesus, Jesus, at Your feet / Oh, to dwell and never leave / Jesus, Jesus, at Your feet / There is nowhere else for me / There is nowhere else for me // Here at Your feet, I lay my future down / All my dreams, I give to You now / And I find peace, I find peace // Here at Your feet, I lay my life down / For You my King, You're all I want now / And my soul sings...// 'Cause I am free (here at Your feet) / All I need (is at Your feet) / I find peace / We're at Your feet / We're at Your feet // And I am free (here at Your feet) / All I need (is at Your feet) / I find peace / We're at Your feet / We're at Your feet / Here at Your feet / I lay my life down There are other songs with great lyrics too, but these two in particular really touched my heart. Just wanted to share these today too. And hopefully the words will touch anothers soul the way they did mine. Hugs!

  1. Music does that for me too. The group I've been stuck on for months is the David Crowder Band. Love their lyrics too!
