God of the Song
Here’s a quote from God in the ICU in the chapter called Trusting God in the Darkness: A Sister’s Heartache:
“Babbie Mason sings a song, the lyrics of which pointed the only way forward. She sings:
God is too wise to be mistaken God is too good to be unkind, So when you don’t understand, When you don’t see His plan, When you can’t trace His hand, Trust His heart.
We could not understand, so we had to lean on His character. We had to look back on His faithfulness in dealing with us in the past, and, ultimately, to His love expressed so eloquently in dying for us on the Cross.”
Sometimes, in these trying times, it’s good to look up, not to ask why, but Who, and know there’s a God who is beautiful and can put a song in our hearts.
God of the Song
God of the rhythm, God of the beat God of the music, God of dancing feet God of the galaxies swirling in space God of the seasons, God of the race God of the melody deep in my heart God of the whole and God of the part God of the orbiting stars and the sun God of the millions and God of the one Sing to me, Jesus, sing loud of Your love Sing to the pulse of the stars up above Sing with the voice of the dove and the lark Sing to the beat of my trembling heart. My God who created the seasons and songs To Whom every lilt, every cadence belongs The song of the Saviour beats loudest of all It’s the song of His grace, it’s the song of His call. I’ll sing to You, Jesus, I’ll sing from my heart Of the love that You’ve had for me right from the start Delight of my life, faithful God, true and strong Creator of music, the God of the Song
