My God You Are My Stronghold



This is one of my most favorite worship songs. I have lately clung to this song as a cry unlike my oftimes muddled thoughts. I Hope that you will be burdened to pray in your worship as I have been lead to prayer in my own times of song. I am so thankful for people who are gifted in these ways to bring God's word to us in such times as makes the words that much more meaningful!


Send Out Your Light and Your Truth
Psalm 43

1 Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause
against an ungodly people,
from the deceitful and unjust man
deliver me!
2 For you are the God in whom I take refuge;
why have you rejected me?
Why do I go about mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?

3 Send out your light and your truth;
let them lead me;
let them bring me to your holy hill
and to your dwelling!
4 Then I will go to the altar of God,
to God my exceeding joy,
and I will praise you with the lyre,
O God, my God.

5 Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God.

One thing I have to remember. Is not so much understand the whys and werefores of a certain situation or condition, but I am called on to worship and enjoy my Savior forever, because He is worthy to be praised and because I was created for worship! How often I am distracted by "issues" when my concern should be greatly overshadowed by my overflowing worship! O God, I desire to be ravished by Joy in You! Delighted by your glories alone!
