Need a Lift?

Psalm 40:1-3 I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.


Are you singing a song of rejection, pain, or loss? Well, stop listening to country music! Ha!

God can put a new song in your heart and in your mouth.



I think sometimes he uses a song to lift us up out of the pits of life. So many times a song has lifted me. One in particular stands out in my memory today. Still Standing by Israel Houghton and Cindy Cruise Ratcliff (from the Alive in South Africa project)

"You gave me courage to believe, that all your goodness I would see, and if it had not been for you standing on my side, where would I be?


If not for your goodness, if not for your grace, I don't know where I would be today, If not for your kindness, I never could say I'm still standing. If not for your mercy, if not for your love, I most likely would have given up. If not for your favor I never could say I'm still standing. But by the grace of God.


To you I lift my offering, and set my heart on higher things, for it if had not been for you standing on my side, where would I be?"
