"... TO GIVE UNTO THEM BEAUTY FOR ASHES, THE OIL OF JOY FOR MOURNING, THE GARMENT OF PRAISE FOR THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS; THAT THEY MIGHT BE CALLED TREES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,THE PLANTING OF THE LORD, THAT HE MIGHT BE GLORIFIED." ISAIAH 61:3

Melodic Prayer

I pray.

I sing.

And sometimes I hear a song that so touches the heart of me that I can't help but do both.

It doesn't matter so much if the song is old or new. It could tickle the funny bone or tug at the heartstrings.
It may even be that I've heard the song a hundred times before without any special connection. But when the Lord brings to mind a melody with lyrics that seem to have been written with my exact situation in mind, there is a quickening in the soul, and the heart soars.

I have been praising my awesome God all week with this one;

I pray I never get over the immensity of what He did for me.

I pray the same for you.

  1. Beautiful, Ang... Our praise and worship glorifies God more and raises our spirits more when we exult the Lord "In Between." In a practical way we find ourselves in situations that are "In Between." IT MAY BE FRIDAY EVENING, BUT WE KNOW THAT SUNDAY IS ON THE WAY!!!

  4. What a beautiful song, Angie! I don't listen to songs very often, but when I hear songs like this I know I'm missing out!

    Some songs like this one can send me into instant worship no matter what's going on around me!

    Love it!
    Thanks!
