AMANDA COOK, SHEPHERD---He's changing me with this! *grin*

I have several thoughts rolling around in my head, and it's rare that I blog on a weeknight. However, I have been wanting to blog for a few days, so I put the work laptop away, and I'm blogging. *grin*

I have a couple funny stories I could share, but honestly, tonight's post is something I WANT to remember. Sometimes this blog serves more of a memory maker for me than something for you to read. However, you get the bonus of reading the blog tonight. *grin*

Some people don't like music. Or, don't like music enough to have it be a part of their daily life.

I LOVE MUSIC.

Specifically, Praise and Worship Music.

You might not be into that, and that's cool. We each have our own genre.

So, I like how God uses music in my life.

He always has, for years, we've been in deep conversations together that have started with a phrase in a song.

Yes, it's that simple.

So my most recent song favorite has been on repeat for a couple weeks now. He keeps highlighting different phrases and we keep talking about them. So, I realize a month from now it may change, and I want to make notes of the key phrases that He's been highlighting in my heart. Amanda Cook is my new favorite artist. That will change too, but for tonight, she's my fave. *grin*

I'm keeping this just for me.

Oh, and if it blesses you, that's a bonus. *giggle*

Shepherd by Amanda Cook
On You Make Me Brave and her new album, Brave New World. *grin*

In the process,
In the waiting,
you're making melodies over me

And Your presence
Is the promise
For I am a pilgrim on a journey

And you will lift my head above the mighty waves
You are able to keep me from stumbling
And in my weakness You are the strength that comes from within
Good shepherd of my soul
Take my hand and lead me on

You make my footsteps
And my path secure
So walking on water is just the beginning
Cause my faith to arise
Stand at attention
FOR YOU ARE CALLING ME TO GREATER THINGS (All caps mine)

Oh how I love You
How I love You
You have not forsaken me

Oh how I love You
How I love You
With You is where I want to be

For You will lift my head above the mighty waves
You are able to keep me from stumbling
And in my weakness You are the strength that comes from within
Good shepherd of my soul
Take my hand and lead me on

Italics are phrases we've talked about.

He's so AMAZING!

*grin*
LIFE.
IS.
AMAZING.
