Above All Worship Video with Lyrics
This is the song that the Lord put on my heart today. After a good service yesterday, I woke up thinking back over my life, where I have been, where I am, and most importantly, where I am going. I have so much gratitude for what the Lord has done, is doing and is going to do. Life is a funny thing and if it weren't for God, none of it would really make any sense but thank God we know the answers to life's mysteries. You see God has got our lives in the palm of his hands and he knows what he is doing. I think back on my mistakes and oh how the enemy would love to hang those over my head and say "Can you believe what you've done" but it is then that I am reminded not what I have done wrong but what I have done right. It is not about falling down but picking yourself up. I have to say that I have been tempted and tried but through those trials and temptations God's word truly carried me through and for that I am thankful. I am so grateful to have been brought up in truth! One thing that I have learned is that through suffering you can gain the sweetest relationship with the Lord, as a matter of fact the suffering has only made it sweeter. I was talking with my Mother and we have the closest relationship and the reason why is because we have suffered together. When others don't want to know the suffering, we have cried together and because of that we are super close, it is the same with the Lord, the Bible says if we suffer with him then we will reign with him. I have always prayed, "Lord whatever t takes to make it" and I still mean it! So I say if this is what it takes then bring it on. I am learning so much right now at this time in my life and I wouldn't trade it or anything. I am learning forgiveness because we wrestle not against flesh and blood and I am learning trust because All things work together for good. I have somewhere down the road really gained a true relationship with the Lord and have fallen in love with the word of God and for that I am full of gratitude! I am grateful that the Lord loves me in spite of "ME" His mercy and grace is everlasting!
