In life, everyone will endure hardships and trials, which at the time, seem like they will never end, but one song reminds us that those difficult periods are only temporary.
Bill Gaither, a massive figure in Christian music for decades, sang recently about these times. In a video posted to YouTube, Bill is joined by friends as he sings “These Things Shall Pass.”
The video shows Bill sitting at a piano as he sings the beautiful lyrics to the uplifting and encouraging song. The song reminds us that despite our current troubling circumstances, “The Lord our God is still the King upon his throne.”
The song also mentions that these trials, while only temporary, will help to make us stronger in the long run. The lyrics state that “steel is strong because it knew the hammer and white heat.”
Also, the song adds that if we hold onto our faith and love and they remain strong, these troubling situations “cannot long endure.”
Praise God!
Unfortunately, no one will escape this life unscathed. Heartache and trouble will visit us on occasion. But instead of giving up and throwing in the towel, there is hope just beyond the horizon because God is still in control. He knows what troubles us and will never leave or forsake us, as the Bible mentions.
Others commenting on the YouTube video mentioned how they appreciated the song’s wonderful, encouraging and hopeful message.
“What a beautiful song! It touched my soul, tears came from my eyes! Thank you, Jesus! These things shall pass!” one person posted.
Thank you for this song guys. My life hasn’t turned out the way I expected but Good is good. He brought me through it all and He still is,” another person added.
2 Corinthians 1:3 “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.”
God’s love and protection keep us safe during dangerous and trying circumstances in life. A catchy and new song reminds us about the power of His love.
Anthem Lights, a Christian band best known for their harmonies, covers and mashups, recently released a new, original song. In “Surrounded,” the four talented singers sing about being protected and surrounded by the love of God.
Early in the song, the lyrics mention that even when we may feel alone, dealing with and facing every difficulty by ourselves, God is by our side. The Bible states in several places that God will never leave or forsake us during our time of need.
The next verse adds that God’s love is so massive, powerful and unconditional. God's love is also something that we could have never ever earned. There is no person alive deserving of such a gift!
None of us are promised tomorrow. Every day we’re alive, able to enjoy His creation, is a day to celebrate. Every breath God gives us is also a gift from Him and not something to take for granted, the song states.
After mentioning that God’s love surrounds us, the song’s lyrics add that His love is enough! Instead, the singers tell listeners that they are “never letting go” and inform God that He is in control of their life.
Without God’s unconditional love, humanity would not stand a chance. He made that ultimate sacrifice of love, dying upon the cross, taking our place all those years ago.
What a fun and catchy little song that reminds us about the unearned and unconditional love of God!
Psalm 139:5-6 “I am shut in by you on every side, and you have put your hand on me. Such knowledge is a wonder greater than my powers; it is so high that I may not come near it.”
So God is doing something in my life. I haven’t thought about these songs He gave me so long ago in quite a while. I think He wants me to share and I’m trying to figure out what that means. I hope you enjoy this humble sharing.
This video is of a song I wrote a long time ago. I feel like God is asking me to share the music He has given me and I am trying to figure out a way forward. Thank you for listening.
As I walk my dogs in the morning, I hear the birds singing and God’s wonderful creation is all around me. His glorious sun lights my way throughout the day and His twinkling stars look down at me at night. This song, Creator, got its inspiration from those morning walks with God.
This song was written at a very special time when I found “New Life” in Christ. I pray that it is a blessing to all who hear it. Thank you for listening.
So...I got one of those stands to hold the phone while you video your rehearsal. We tried it out today for Aunt Miriam and Shanan and my weekly time together. Aunt Miriam is so funny and a joy to work with. At 92 years young, she is amazing! Hope you enjoy!
Sometimes we wonder how we can make a difference in a world filled with darkness. As children of God, we are called to be His hands and feet in a broken world. By sharing His love to all we can make a difference. That’s what we can do.
Music is a terrific way to share the message and love of Jesus Christ, which is precisely what two popular Christian artists did during a national television appearance.
Musicians Taya and Naomi Raine were recently on Fox & Friends. As part of the program’s “Faith & Friends Concert Series,” the two young women performed “Oceans” and “Jireh.” But instead of singing the two songs separately, the musicians provided audiences at home with a creative mashup of the two beloved songs.
Unless someone is intimately familiar with the lyrics of “Oceans” and “Jireh,” you would have never guessed that two different songs were sung. The two talented vocalists and the musicians backing them up seamlessly intertwined the songs. And it was beautiful!
Taya and Naomi gave a touching and moving performance, singing about the wonders and the love of Jesus Christ.
Before their performance on Fox News Channel’s morning show, the two artists mentioned they will be hitting the road together for their “It’s Time” tour, which will stop at cities across the country. Their tour kicks off on April 26 in Bradenton, Florida.
Additionally, Taya told the show's hosts what she hopes to accomplish with the tour as she and Naomi perform songs of praise and worship.
“I mean, the main thing is that they would have an encounter with Jesus,” Taya said. “I mean, both our lives have been changed when we’ve had moments, at similar worship nights, where other people have been leading and we’ve just been completely transformed. We, you know, we got to hear the voice of the Lord and even direction for our lives.”
Taya also added that she and Naomi are praying earnestly that those who attend their shows will experience Christ in a real way.
Both women appear to have a genuine love for Christ as they aim to minister and spread His message to others through their music!
Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
Lauren Daigle is one of the biggest names in Christian music, and she’s now released what is sure to be another hit song.
Life is often unpredictable and overwhelming, which can cause pain, hurt and heartache. Most, during their struggle, will hunt and search for answers. Thankfully, there is One who has a plan, has everything under control and possesses a peace that surpasses all understanding.
Lauren’s latest song, “Thank God I Do,” is about not having to face those struggles and problems of life all alone. Lauren also sings she’s grateful that she does not have to go through life herself because she would not be able to do it.
In the official lyric video for Lauren’s song, not only do people watching get to hear the beautiful words and melody, but they get to read along as the lyrics appear on the screen.
In the song’s opening verse, Lauren mentions how she has endured a difficult year. She has shed many tears, fought off her fears and encountered periods of darkness. All of this, she sings, has left her with many questions.
However, in the chorus, Lauren sings that even when she faces these situations, she knows He is with her. Lauren would be lost if the Lord were not protecting her and had her in His hand.
“I don’t know where I’d go
If you ever let go
So keep me held in your hands”
In the second verse, Lauren sings thanks to the Lord. Things are starting to improve. The weight and the burden that she was feeling has been removed. When Christ is by her side, she is not missing anything. Breathing is now easier. Everything in life, the lyrics state, has become a lot less complicated.
The beautiful song ends with Lauren, once again, singing that she’s thankful she knows Christ, His peace and His protection.
Deuteronomy 20:4 “For the Lord your God is he that goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.”
