Grateful
You are Faithful
Who knew
My tears
Shed today
Would be
Of gratitude
Not despair
Or misery
Thank you
Lord
The lifter
Of my head
And heart

Continuing from R’s Rue I don’t know if I’d mentioned that for awhile I have been listening to Pastor Rich Villodas. His sermons have been a balm to my spirit. I’m given hard hitting truth, but it a way that teaches, but doesn’t condemn. No fire and brimstone, but solid truth. I recently ordered his book, The Narrow Path. And as I’m in church today, the second song talks about the narrow way being hard, but it being the path I want to take. I should have realized my worship experience from song to preaching would turn me upside down. Turns out, I didn’t have a clue what my soul would endure. The sermon being about was it ‘worth it’ to follow God without question, without doubt, understanding waiting is not comfortable, but a part of the process. Was I willing to acknowledge its worth despite my years of waiting. I didn’t have time to contemplate this until the song that allows people to come forward, and make decisions. It was during this song that I remember what I had wanted for...
I too was thinking about giving thanks awhile ago! He is good and all that He does is good and indeed he is the lifter of our heads and hearts dear sweet friend.

ReplyDeleteYour words remind me of the psalm about God being the Glory and the lifter of our heads... there was a chorus based on those very words some 40-50 years ago when I first gave my life to Christ, and still they resonate with me... "For thou oh Lord art a shield to me, the Glory and the lifter of my head"
