Sunday Worship ~ Shout to the Lord

There are many worship songs that I love to sing, but there is only one (contemporary) song that gets me every time we sing it in church. I really, really have to contain myself not to raise my hands. Don’t get me wrong, our congregation loves Jesus and is very passionate about sharing God’s Word with the world. We just don’t raise our hands often during worship music. That is just who we are and I truly believe that there is nothing wrong with that. However, ‘Shout to the Lord’, brings always tears of joy to me. There is nothing more powerful to know that God loves me so much, that He sent His son to die for me. And that song reminds me of it.

Do you have some songs that you absolutely love and remind you how wonderful our God is? Please do share with me in the comment section which one it is. For me, besides God’s Word, music is a powerful way to connect to God. How about you?

Love & peace,
Iris

Thankful Thursday ~ Jesus

Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe.
(Hebrews 12:28 ESV)

It happened again this past Sunday; I was completely overwhelmed by Jesus’ love. I couldn’t stop the tears running down my face during communion.

Our wonderful praise team just started singing “Shout to the Lord”, and I was reminded how much I love the Lord. Goodness, He loved me so much that He went to the Cross on my behalf. How can I not love HIM?

I guess once in a while I need those precious moments. The reminder why I am still here this side of heaven! To share His love with those around me who still need to meet Him. Maybe some will never understand my love and thankfulness, but I hope that the way He has changed me and my life will bear witness. Maybe others want the same deep peace I have in Him…

What are you thankful for this week? Please do share with us by leaving the link to your Thankful Thursday post below.

Thank you for stopping by today. Remember: sometimes it is a Bible passage, a song or someone who reminds you of Jesus’ love for you.

Love & peace,
Iris
