You are faithful and You bring the dawn
I enjoyed this song “Dawn” by Rebecca St James and brother, Luke Smallbone (from For King & Country). The line “Redeem this winter for your good” sticks with me – an assurance that, yes, God’s paths and seasons are not usually the ones we would choose. . . BUT he holds them and uses them for his purposes in his world, through us. Blessings!
“God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.” (James 1:12)
Lord, I’m so tired in this fight
Tired of waking up with no end in sight
I feel I’ve got so little left
I know that I’ve come to the end of myself
Help me hold on
Cling to You ’til I see the sun
Held by Your love, I sing alleluia
You’re lifting my heart as I lift my hands
Safe in Your love, I sing alleluia
You’re healing my heart as I lift my hands
Water the garden of my life
With every sorrow, every tear that I’ve cried
Redeem this winter for Your good
Lord, show Your power as only You could
Help me hold on
I’ll cling to You ’til I see the sun, oh-oh
Held by Your love, I sing alleluia
You’re lifting my heart as I lift my hands
Safe in Your love, I sing alleluia
You’re healing my heart as I lift my hands
Even in the darkness, even when it’s hardest
You are faithful and You bring the dawn
On every mountain, I’ll sing it even louder
You are faithful and You bring the dawn

Love Me Like I Am (King and Country)
LYRICS (excerpt)
I am a little unstable
Loose wires always getting tangled now
I am a little bit difficult I can be a little self-critical now
I am a little unable
To put all my cards on the table now
But somehow
You’re still with me
It’s amazing that
You can Love me like I am
And even when I can’t
You still love me as I am
Oh, I don’t know how You do it
And I know I put You through it
It’s amazing that You can
Love me like I Love me like I am,
ooh You love me like I am

Messiah – the long-awaited precious promise
Ready for your new favourite Christmas song? Here it is.
From the album, This Christmas, by Francesca Battistelli (2020)
Lyrics:
Long awaited precious promise
Son of God and son of man
Heaven’s glory in a manger
Has come to us in Bethlehem
Messiah
Messiah
A baby born to save us all
Messiah
Messiah
On our knees we fall
All we longed for, all we needed
Shining in this child’s eyes
Hope forever, death defeated
Because of this one holy night
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore…
Upon Him – acoustic version
If you haven’t discovered Matt Redman’s album, Let There Be Wonder (released early 2020), please seek it out. It has been a wonderful refuge for the soul in the midst of these turbulent days. Here is a beautiful acoustic version of “Upon Him”.
Lyrics:
Upon a hill, a perfect Saviour
Upon that day, the greatest love
The punishment that should have fallen on us
Upon Him, upon Him
Upon His head, a crown of thorns
Upon His heart, a broken world
The wage of sin, the weight of our transgressions
Upon Him, upon Him
Christ has died, we are forgiven
And Christ alive, we are the risen
And He shall come again
Praise the King, praise the King
Upon our hearts, His name is written
The King of kings and Lord of lords
We’re pouring out a song of praise together
Upon Him, upon Him
Christ has died, we are forgiven
And Christ alive, we are the risen
And He shall come again
Praise the King, praise the King
One name upon our lips, Jesus
No greater name than this, Jesus
And every knee will bow
Every heart confess
Jesus, Jesus
