Song
That phrase. You are not Hidden. It stirs in my soul. There are days when I feel like He doesn’t see me. He doesn’t care that He doesn’t hear my prayers. I am sure other people think that, but I listened to this song. He does hear me. When I am silently crying, alone, He hears me. Then, He sends His army just for me. He doesn’t send it to Antarctica or Timbuktu. The army comes to me, wherever I might be. Now, He may not respond to me the way I want it, but He still hears me. He still answers me. Click on Lauren Daigle’s name, and it will take you to the video. Very powerful.
I have this song on my playlist. Since I listen to it often, it is one that we all stop and focus on when the kids are doing their homework. One day, listening to this, I was all up in the Spirit. I looked over to my left, and there H was sitting. His eyes closed, his hands up in the air, and he sang along. My heart almost exploded.
Rescue
~by Lauren Daigle
There’s never been a moment
You were forgotten
{You} are not hopeless
Though you have been broken
Your innocence stolen
{I} hear your SOS, your SOS
In the middle of the darkest night
It’s true, I will rescue you
That cannot be covered
Over and over
You’re not defenseless
I’ll be your shelter
{I’ll} be your armor
{I} hear your SOS, your SOS
In the middle of the darkest night
It’s true, I will rescue you
In the middle of the hardest fight
It’s true, I will rescue you
{I} hear you whisper, you have nothing left
In the middle of the darkest night
It’s true, I will rescue you
In the middle of the hardest fight
It’s true, I will rescue you
