child at heart

The Lord has a funny way of convicting and encouraging me through the music in my life. My dear sweet friend, Mrs. Sylvia gave me this song on Wednesday, and I did not even have to hear the music to know what the Lord was trying to convey to me. Praise the stirring He is doing in my soul!

“Be Strong in the Lord”

Words by: Linda Lee Johnson, Music by: Tom Fettke

Be strong in the Lord, and be of good courage/ Your mighty Defender is always the same/ Mount up with wings, as the eagle ascending/ Victory is sure when you call on His name

Be strong, be strong, be strong in the Lord/ And be of good courage, for He is your guide/ Be strong, be strong, be strong in the Lord/ And rejoice for the vict’ry is yours

So put on the armour the Lord has provided/ And place your defense in His unfailing care/ Trust Him, for He will be with you in battle/ Lighting your path to avoid ev’ry snare

Be strong, be strong, be strong in the Lord/ And be of good courage, for He is your guide/ Be strong, be strong, be strong in the Lord/ And rejoice for the vict’ry is yours

Be strong in the Lord, and be of good courage/ Your mighty Commander will vanquish the foe/ Fear not the battle, for the vict’ry is always His/ He will protect you wherever you go

Be strong, be strong, be strong in the Lord/ And be of good courage, for He is your guide/ Be strong, be strong, be strong in the Lord/ And rejoice for the vict’ry is yours

SOOOO GOOD! If you have never heard this I would recommend finding it somewhere on-line and listen to it, or if you’ve never heard of it all together, I pray that you would read the words, meditate on them and make it the honest challenge of your own heart.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” -Hebrews 12: 1-2
