I love music! I can't tell you the number of times God has spoken to me thru the lyrics of a song. And, because of this, music is many times my "go to". Not just when life is a little rocky, or I've had a bad day, but also when all is right. Whether I need words to pick me up, carry me along, or rejoice... I can almost always find them in a song.
One of my favorites over the last year or so has been "God of this City" by Chris Tomlin. It has touched me in so many different ways. It has been a reminder of the many that are hurting that I walk past everyday. It has convicted me as I thought of the ways I could be the hands and feet of God in the city where I live.
This last week, though, I focused on a different part of this song. I was traveling and as my flight was homeward bound Thursday evening, I pulled out my Ipod and settled in for some rest, relaxation and a bit of quiet worship. This song came on and these are the words that caught my attention....
"You're the Light in this darkness
You're the Hope to the hopeless
You're the Peace to the restless
You are"
Those four lines are such an awesome reminder of what we have as followers of God.
Light.
Hope.
Peace.
Outside of the gift of eternal life, I can't think of much better. Those 3 words cover so much as we walk our daily journey on this earth. God lights our path, gives us hope in trials, and gives us peace thru it all.
My prayer today is that we would experience God's LIGHT, HOPE and PEACE and we walk forward thru today and the week ahead.
Happy Sunday!

Thanks for the post, Roxanne
I too love music! Music for joy & happiness, music during times of sadness, & music to worship by! Love & light to all!!!
We sang that song often in church when I lived in Las Vegas. Everyone needed that reminder that God had dominion over all there. Thanks, Melanie
