It’s easy to sing when you’re excited. Personally, I feel most free with a loud car stereo pumping out my favorite Christian music (whatever it may be at the time), open road, and the window down.
But what about when partly cloudy is the weather forecast of your life that day? When it’s gray & dreary & you ‘just don’t feel like it.’ You know – those couch potato days.
Last week I came across a song on an old worship tape by Don Moen and it’s been the expression of my heart since. And I’ve found myself singing it this morning as I fight thru the wave of last night. And it makes it more real. May this be the cry of your heart.
I Will Sing (Don Moen)
Lord You seem so far away/a million miles or more it feels today
And though I haven’t lost my faith/I must confess right now
That’s it hard for me to pray
But I don’t know what say/And I don’t know where to start
But as You give the grace/ With all that’s in my heart
(chorus) I will sing/I will praise
Even in my darkest hour/Through the sorrow and the pain
I will sing/I will praise
Lift my hands to honor You/Because Your Word is true
I will sing
Lord it’s hard for me to see/All the thoughts and plans You have for me
But I will put my trust in You/Knowing that You died to set me free
But I dont’ know what to say/And I don’t know where to start
But as You give the grace/With all that’s in my heart
(chorus) I will sing/I will praise
Even in my darkest hour/Through the sorrow and the pain
I will sing/I will praise
Lift my hands to honor You/Because Your Word is true
I will sing
I will sing/I will sing/I will sing

May we sing well today.
