I will sing to the Lord as long as I live. I will praise my God to my last breath! (Psalm 104:33)
Read: Judges 19:1-20:48, John 3:22-4:3, Psalm 104:24-35, Proverbs 14:22-24
Relate: Rules are made to be broken, right? Well, today I am going to break a few of mine. You might have noticed that there is no picture at the top of this post. That’s just the start. There also will be no “React” and “Respond” sections to this post either. Instead, this post is going to simply do what the Psalmist said. It’s time to sing. So, as I have mentioned more than a few times in the past, this here is my favorite song:
I can remember back to the first time I ever heard it. It was at a youth function back in the late 90’s. There was a huge room filled with students and leaders all talking, hanging out, goofing off, etc. I made the entire room get quiet just so I could listen to it again. I’ve been in love ever since.
If I am in prayer alone now without music, when a song comes bursting through the prayer, there is much better than even odds it will be one of these next two songs:
Are you ever at Walmart, or the mall, or somewhere when a song gets stuck in your head and you don’t want it there but it just won’t seem to go away? I’ve learned the best way to push one song out of your head is to put another one there in it’s place. Lifehouse has a few really great easily catchable songs, but this one is far and away my favorite:
Considering the huge transitions in my life in selling away everything I own and moving to a whole new country simply because God said, “Go” I most definitely have to include this:
An amazing version of an amazing song that also contains a spoken word that expresses much of why I do what I do:
Those two are part of an ever evolving list that I have set up called simply worship you can find here (CLICK ME). One more from that list which also happens to be my favorite song from my favorite new album and then a question:
So now… what’s your song? Is it an old favorite? Something new? When you just cannot help but praise our mighty God, what songs come bursting out?
Toss up: “Be Thou My Vision” and “Peace Like a River” (which we sang in church today)
Thanks for sharing your favorites too.I love singing!
I love Fernando Ortega’s version of be thou my vision.
Frankly, I enjoy anything Fernando sings. Even when he sings in Spanish and I can’t understand a word. !
“How Great is our God” inspires me to sing loudly and it also brings tears…every time.
How Great Thou Art and My Jesus, My Savior. Thank you for sharing your favorites as they enhanced my time of worship this morning.
Biker’s How Great Is Our God flows perfectly into your How Great Thou Art
