I love music. Often when I am unable to put my feelings into words, or know how to pray, I will listen to praise music and immediately, my spirits are lifted, I can have a cleansing cry, or I am deeply moved by other's music or words. I was recently at a retreat and was given the CD, Arise A New Celebration of Worship, and have been totally blessed by it.
This morning on the way to work (I had the car today!), I listened to this song called I Will Sing by Don Moen. I had never heard of him before and he truly was a gift.Here are the words, copied from the insert in the CD. Lyrics.com does not have the words, but they have an awesome audio that allows you to listen to it-I hope it will bless you when you are in a far country...
I Will Sing
Don Moen
Lord you seem so far away
A million miles or more it feels today
And thought I haven’t lost my faith
I must confess right now
That it’s hard for me to pray
But I don’t know what to say
And I don’t know where to start
But as you give the grace
With all that’s in my heart
I will sing I will praise
Even in my darkest hour
Through the sorrow and the pain
I will sing I will praise
Lift my hands to honor you
Because your word is true
I will sing
Lord it’s hard for me to see
All the thoughts and plans
You have for me
But I will put my trust in you
Knowing that You died to set me free
But I don’t know what to say
And I don’t know where to start
But as you give the grace
With all that’s in my heart
Blessings for the day!

You know how i feel about worship music...love it! It is one of my favorite parts of Sat.night service. Don Moen has written alot of your favorite worship songs...you just may not know it. We like him alot. You should look up Kari Jobe and Gateway Worship...you would love their songs too. So go now and "sing a new song" because it is an act of worship to the Lord. La la...la...la...la...la...la...la!
