We finally went back to St. James UMC this morning. We've been wanting to go, but pride kept getting in the way. But it was the best sermon, and timely for us, and it was just awesome. In particular, this song really touched me because it totally sums up the way I've felt a lot in the past several months. Of course it helps that it makes reference to my favorite Bible verse, Jeremiah 29:11. It was just so nice to go to church and be blessed, unfortunately that hasn't happened in a lot of churches we've visited lately. It was also really cool that Elisabeth wanted to go to KindeRock too, rather than sit with us in "big" church.
I Will Sing
by Don Moen
Lord You seem so far away
A million miles or more it feels today
And though I haven't lost my faith
I must confess right now
That it's hard for me to pray
But I don't know what to say
And I don't know where to start
But as You give the grace
With all that's in my heart
Chorus:
I will sing I will praise
Even in my darkest hour
Through the sorrow and the pain
I will sing I will praise
Lift my hands to honor You
Because Your Word is true
I will sing
Lord it's hard for me to see
All the thoughts and plans You have for me
But I will put my trust in You
Knowing that You died to set me free
But I don't know what to say
And I don't know where to start
But as You give grace
With all that's in my heart
(Chorus)
