a song on my mind

 


Sunday I woke up with a song on my mind.  This happens a lot.  Some times it goes away quickly.  Other times it hangs on for a while.  This one hung on to my mind and maybe my heart.


What keep me going to the song are a couple strong lines that speak volumes to me and about our God.  It talks of how God has power over our lives, and we need to trust Him, listen to Him and do what He says.  The lines from the song:


Get up out of that grave …


If He did it for me, He can do it for you …


Too often we head toward the grave and stay there.  It might not be a real grave in the ground.  Maybe it is a choice or lifestyle that keeps us from knowing God and His best for us.  Maybe it is a mindset that needs to be adjusted or changed.  The grave can be many things.


And what He did you for you speaks to your testimony or the testimony of someone who has met and experienced God.  Share it.  He will do the same for others.  Trust God to work.


Here are some of the lyrics from the song I Thank God by Maverick City Music:


Wandering into the night

Wanting a place to hide

This weary soul, this bag of bones

And I tried with all my mind

And I just can't win the fight

I'm slowly drifting, oh vagabond

And just when I ran out of road

I met a man I didn't know

And he told me

That I was not alone


He picked me up

He turned me around

He placed my feet on solid ground

I thank the Master

I thank the Savior

Because He healed my heart

He changed my name

Forever free, I'm not the same

I thank the Master

I thank the Savior

I thank God


I cannot deny what I see

Got no choice but to believe

My doubts are burning

Like ashes in the wind

So, so long to my old friends

Burden and bitter night …


Oh, I thank God

Oh, I thank God

Oh, I thank God


Hell lost another one

I am free, I am free, I am free …


Get up, get up, get up

Get up out of that grave …


If He did it for me, He can do it for you

If He did it for me, He can do it for you

If He did it for me, He can do it for you


The testimony of Jesus

Is the Spirit of Prophesy

That means what He did for another

He can do it again …

May God remind us of what He has done, who He is and how He wants to work in our lives.  This is good!

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
