He Speaks To Me


Five Minute Friday is where gather with my sweet friends
to write our hearts on a page for 5 minutes prompted
by the friend who encourages us to write bravely - Lisa-Jo.

I love this community more than words can express. 
They are my people.

Today is about SONG.

Five Minute Friday

God often uses the lyrics of a song to speak to my heart.

Sometimes it is to reinforce scripture that I have been reading that day. 
Sometimes it coincides with a conversation that I had recently. 
Sometimes it is a word of encouragement for the day.
Sometimes it is about a prayer that I barely whispered to Him.

Some songs speak only in a moment and there are ones that don't let go of me. These songs that grab hold touch something to deep in me. These are usually the ones that bring me to a place of worship when I least expect it and most need it. This place where I lift hands and lower knees all to Him.
Sometimes they break apart the hard and turn me inside out. 
The tears come and I come undone.

This is one of those songs.



I will sing of your strength; 
I will sing aloud of your 
steadfast love in the morning. 
Psalm 59:16

What song is God using to speak to you?

Blessings,

  2. I'd never heard this song Wendy...thanks for the introduction. "Sometimes they break apart the hard and turn me inside out. The tears come and I come undone". Absolutely and wonderfully wrecked over these words. I've been listening to and torn apart by "River God" by Nichole Nordeman. Not a new song but one that washes me clean everytime. Glad I stopped by - have a great weekend.

  4. Dear Wendy
    The words of a song that speaks most to me about the incredible the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus is, "Like a rose trampled to the ground, you took the fall, and thought of me, Above all". Another song of Josh Groban that has special meaning to me is, Don't Give Up. The words,"Don't give up for you are loved", has been such encouragement to me through these years.
    Blessings

  7. Love this so much, Wendy. As I read, I was thinking of the verse in Job where he says "my God, who gives songs in the night." Just beautiful.

  8. I love Hillsong's Inside Out. Really, different songs speak to me at different moments, as you said. But that one has endured as a favorite.

    Visiting from FMF. Thanks for sharing!

  11. I feel like songs are God's personal love letters to us, don't you? He has used so many to speak to me, but most recently was while I was giving birth to my newborn and the song "How Great Thou Art" was playing. It helped me get my mind off of my pain and focus on HIM! So thankful for songs and how He uses them in our lives.
    Love to you, sweet sister!

  15. Oh yes, this is so true. Songs so often reiterate what we have read or learned in the Word. What a cool thing that is. I love that you wrote about this word this way. Thank you!
