Yes, desperate ALL days for his grace. Some days I’m just more aware of my desperation than others. 🙂

We are finally able to get KLove in the car down here. I’m so happy about that. God speaks to me so often when I tune in there. Thanks for stopping in, Jen.

In reply to Kelli Woodford. Thank you, Kelli. I love how music can do that. And in all cultures, all times. God knows how to use a good song to reach our souls.

In reply to Sharon. I'm glad these songs speak to you too, Sharon. Our situations are so close, no wonder the Lord ministers to us similarly. Blessings to you, friend.

What an authentic resources was born from all the trials you talked about in this post. I love MANY of the songs you wrote about here. There is a new rendition of Amazing Grace playing on KLove right now that I love. I am desperate for His grace these days (all days?) and this reminds me I already have it.

Lisa, I love this. I love how music can open us in ways other forms of communication cannot. It’s like we are deaf to all but the sweet strings or the trill of the flute or the bang of the drum … and then BAM! just like that it’s Presence — everywhere. Ubiquitous. Thank you for this gentle journey down memory’s lane into the places music has brought healing in her wings. So happy to have you at Unforced Rhythms.

My dad just died in January, and my mother is losing her memory. Your songs have spoken well to my soul today. When peace like a river…

Yes, Lord, I need Your peaceful river to stem the tide of the floodwaters threatening to overwhelm me. Help me sing a new song.

GOD BLESS.

In reply to Jennifer Dougan. Glad you're back safely from your journeys cross-country. I often have songs associated with trips like that. One of my clear memories from years ago was sitting inside a condo overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and watching/hearing a thunderstorm roll in. God kept prompting words from "How Great Thou Art" from me to sing to him. So grateful for how he moves in us.

In reply to Natalie. That's a good question we all can ask ourselves, Natalie. Sometimes that "new song" is something totally brand new; other times it may be an old song that touches us in a new way. Occasionally something as simple as "Jesus Loves Me" can take on a profound new depth for me. :)
