Music to my ears

I'm thankful for musical artists and the talents they share with the rest of us.  The lyrics, the beautiful melodies, God uses music to touch you and speak to you in such a way that either brings light to what you don't understand, comfort you in times of need, or express the joy you feel inside.  Why is it the lyrics always seem to hit exactly on point what we're feeling?

Well probably because the artist is.... you ready?... human too!  Just. like. you. and just. like. me.  So naturally, we're going to be experiencing very similar feelings throughout our lives.

Feeling alone, feeling joy, feeling thankful, feeling worshipful, feeling convicted, etc.

This morning, two songs have hit home and I'd like to share them with you because the lyrics very clearly explain my feelings and my prayers over the last months as well as provided comfort and hope.

Meredith Andrews - 'Can Anybody Hear Me?'

Can anybody hear me?
The silence is deafening
Why do You feel so far away?
When I know You’re here with me
But I just need faith to see
Nothing can separate me from Your love

Kristian Stanfill - 'Always'

My foes are many, they rise against me
But I will hold my ground
I will not fear the war, I will not fear the storm
My help is on the way, my help is on the way

Oh, my God, He will not delay
My refuge and strength always
I will not fear, His promise is true
My God will come through always, always

Even when God seems so far away and I keep asking, "Can you hear me Lord?", I am reminded by these lyrics that His promises are true and He will come through... always!

Have a listen and be encouraged today.
