THAT SONG, THAT MOMENT.

When I heard that Amy and Leah were hosting a new link-up about music and worship and Jesus, I knew this was a link-up for me. That song, that moment is all about sharing how God has used a song, a lyric, a few words, really to move us and remind us that we are His, amen?

I've said it before and will continue to say it again because I'm still amazed by how much God has used music to speak to me. He used it when I play(ed) music, when I sing with my church family, when I sing to the radio in the shower, and when I sing with the preschoolers in Sunday School. I'm a firm believer that music is my second language.

Okay, enough writing. These past few months my future seems to be going all over the place. I've actually shared this song before, but I heard it this week a few times and found myself singing the lyrics in the shower and that's when I knew it was the song God wanted me to share.




I'm done fighting, I'm finally letting go
I will trust in You
You've never failed before

If there's a road I should walk, help me find it
If I need to be still, give me peace for the moment
Whatever Your will, whatever Your will
Can You help me find it?

I'm giving You fear, you give me faith
I'm giving you doubt, You give me grace
For every step, I've never been alone

To be honest, I still don't know what lies ahead for me--but then again who does? What I do know is that all of these lyrics have continually helped me turn to God instead of fear and worry. I also know that they're a beautiful reminder that we're never alone. We've got God and more importantly, He's got us.

  1. I'm telling you, all of the songs in this linkup have been written for me this morning. We really don't have a clue what our future holds, and the words in this song are my my heart right now. Whatever Your will.

    1. I have yet to see all the songs, but I was definitely moved by the ones I did see (I'll be sure to stop by your blog, too!). :) And you're so right, none of us know what our future holds, but we know who holds us.

    Love you friend :)

    1. God's timing is amazing, right? That is so cool that you not only heard it on the radio today but here on my blog, too! :)

      And yes, no one knows what lies ahead, but what we do know and can rest in is the fact that He does and He knows exactly what He's doing.

    1. Same goes for me, too! This song has been on my mind a lot lately and I also struggle with letting go. If it means anything, at least know that you're not alone! :)

      p.s. I just saw your new (or new to me?) blog design and I LOVE it! You have such an eye for font combinations and color palettes, or design in general. :)

    1. YES! The repetition of "whatever Your will" is exactly what I need to remind myself of. It's just one of those phrases that I need to keep hearing and reminding myself of. :)

    1. It gets me, too! The first couple times, I just listened to it in the car, but when I took a moment to really let the words sink in, I realized just how much it was speaking to my soul. :)

  10. I absolutely love the last part of that. I am giving you fear you give me faith, I am standing right in that buffer zone right now. But I know God is good and faithful.
