• Song: “10,000 Reasons” by Matt Redman

    There are so many reasons to sing praises.  I am thankful for a loving God who is “rich in love and slow to anger” because I get life wrong so often.  One of the reasons I love music so much is it can express my thoughts clearly and bring my heart into a state of worship.  Here are some of the lyrics from the song that I enjoy:

    The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning
    It’s time to sing Your song again
    Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
    Let me be singing when the evening comes

    Bless the Lord, O my soul
    O my soul
    Worship His holy name
    Sing like never before
    O my soul
    I’ll worship Your holy name

    You’re rich in love, and You’re slow to anger
    Your name is great, and Your heart is kind
    For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
    Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

  • Song: “Who Am I?” by Casting Crowns

    I like this song, it reminds me that my life has meaning and purpose.  What really matters is who I am in Christ.  Life goes by quickly.    Am I using every day to the best of my ability?  Am I bringing honor to Him?  When I take a moment to think about the many blessings I have in my life and allow God to use me it opens doors to make a positive impact on the lives of others as well.  He can use me, scars and all.  I am thankful for a Savior who excepts me for who I am.

    It is refreshing to know that life has a much deeper meaning when lived within the presence of the Savior.  Even the best day on earth is nothing compared to our time with Him.

    Better is one day in Your courts
    Better is one day in Your house
    Better is one day in Your courts
    Than thousands elsewhere
