The lyric has captured my heart this morning.
All creatures of our God and King, Lift up
your voice and with us sing, Oh, praise Him, Oh, praise Him, Alleluia.
Nowhere in
the verses did it say if your circumstance allows. Nowhere in the verse did it
say, if you get good news.
Thou burning sun with golden beam, Thou silver moon with softer gleam, Oh,
praise Him, Oh, praise Him, Alleluia
I see not, if you have life go
your way. I see not, if the blessings come at the quality and pace that we
command.
Thou rushing wind that art so strong, Ye clouds that sail in heav'n along, Oh,
praise Him, Oh, praise Him, Alleluia
I can’t find, when everything is
happy go lucky. I can’t find, on the days when the plan unfolds exactly as
planned.
Thou rising moon in praise rejoice, Ye lights of evening find a voice, Oh,
praise Him, Oh, praise Him, Alleluia
Gone is the verse of, when you
feel like it. Gone is the verse of, if the situation allows.
Let all things their creator bless, And worship Him in humbleness, Oh,
praise Him, Oh, praise Him, Alleluia
Absent is the excuse to choose
the timing. Absent is the excuse to insert self-pride.
Praise, praise the Father praise the Son, And praise the Spirit three in one, Oh, praise Him, Oh, praise Him, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Praise, praise the Father praise the Son, And praise the Spirit three in one, Oh, praise Him, Oh, praise Him, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Present is the delight in the promise
of his plan! Present is the sting that
we live in a fallen world but delight in the restoration of Christ! How can we not sing his
praises as we enter this Christmas season and see He came, he died, and he rose
to provide restoration and purpose in any circumstance! What rejuvenation it
brings when the sting of life finds your doorstep, that the sting is temporary,
and that the sting refocuses life around you. If you don’t know the song, “All creatures of
our God and King”, you know not what you miss. Promise me you will listen to
it once at the link below. Let the
lyrics and melody fill your soul with purpose in hardship. With thankfulness in
calm. It can bring back focus as it did me today that He Rules the World with Truth and Grace! Dare me to break out another song that
rings truth, I’m on fire! (You can blame church this morning.)
It suddenly just clicks as my
emotions slip from the forefront to the back. There are certainly more dire
trials to face. Ask the unwanted. Ask the unloved. Ask those who face each day
simply in search of purpose other than to find their next meal. Ask those that
society has forgotten. Ask those whom this life has abandoned. Those are the
circumstances worth mourning. I’m surrounded by desire. I am surrounded by
love. Purpose is in my clutch therefore making anything this fallen world can
bring me, worthy as a reminder of His saving grace. Our circumstances don't change His truth.
I still know not my pulmonary
fate. The doctors are still discussing. The tests still to be revealed. We have
brought in my radiation oncologist to help delineate the fibrosis location in
relation to lung fields. And still, I wait. BUT TODAY (and hopefully lasting longer than today), I wait without fear
and dismay. Oh, praise Him, Oh, praise Him
