Some say that the Lord works in mysterious ways and that has certainly been my experience! While on vacation in January of 2009 the Lord dropped an Urban/Gospel song on me. So strong was His guidance that I had it done in just 2 days. I chose this genre because I had a lot to say and felt that it was the best medium for my message. Sure, this song might be a bit heavy for a guy on vacation, and maybe I have some issues, but I felt that something needed to be said to the church….so I said it.
Verse 1:
In the darkness, there is a house of joy,
From the pressures of the world, she will find refuge,
When fear and doubt can break the best of hearts,
There is a courage from above for those who choose.
Pre Chorus:
And I know, this load seems more than you can take,
But have faith, your child is no mistake.
Chorus:
Cause your God, He knows you better than you do,
Let this life begin, cause all life comes from Him,
And if, you you can, just turn your heart to Him,
He will make a way; He will make a way for you.
Verse 2:
You might think that no one else will know,
But in your heart, you always will remember,
The future,…
You know, sometimes you just have to do what’s in your heart, even if it is inconvenient. When I was wrapping up Worship for the Nations I put the whole thing on hold for a very special song. It was something that I felt had to be done and if you give “He Will Make a Way - Song for Romania” a listen, I’m sure you’ll agree.
You see, Romania has a sky-high abortion rate. Sadly, it’s more acceptable for a young woman to abort an unplanned baby than become an unwed mother. As a Christian it is hard to imagine an abortion as an acceptable solution, but this is the sad state of affairs. Thankfully there are good people working round the clock to make a difference. In this case we have Kathy Miller who started Living Alternatives, a place for pregnant Romanian girls to go that…
Verse 1:
Now, now is the time, we have come into Your house to praise, Your beautiful name
And now, now is the time, for us to give ourselves and offer You, our lives to You today
Pre Chorus:
So tired of praising You half way, no more compromising
The new has come, the old has gone away, a new song is rising
Chorus:
Come, let us rejoice before our king, let us surrender everything, in worship to You Lord
And now, now is the time we’ve come to sing, and give You everything,
Let it be pleasing to You Lord
Verse 2:
Now, now is the time, to let our praise resound around this place, to magnify Your name
And now, now…
