Within the past week or so, four people that I know died: two from cancer, one from another illness, and the son of a couple we know committed suicide. Somebody taking their own life is a senseless tragedy. A little two year boy wondering where his Mommy is after her battle with breast cancer ended is heartbreaking. I’ve been feeling back to back sadness and grief for each of these folks…yet thankfully in all four cases all of them had placed their faith in Christ dying on the cross to pay for their sins and God raising Him from the dead, so there is an element of joy too, knowing that these four precious people are now in Heaven and free, perfectly whole in mind, body, and spirit again, dancin’ on Streets of Gold, and with the Lord for all of Eternity. I’ve been thinking about how the Real Deal kind of hope and peace through life and death is all wrapped up in Jesus.
I also find the fact that God sings over us a lovely thing. Thanks for sharing the song in the above link, Beth!
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Matthew 5:4 NASB
You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble;You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.
Psalm 32:7 NASB
Zephaniah 3:17 (KJV)
17 The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17 (MSG)
Your God is present among you,
a strong Warrior there to save you.
Happy to have you back, he’ll calm you with his love
and delight you with his songs.
Father Sing Over Me
Verse
;You are Living Water in a dry and weary land
In the shaking times You’re Solid Rock where I can stand
When the storms of life come You’re a Shelter over me
You are Light in darkness Watching over me
In the times of wounding You come healing me
When fear would come surrounding
You come singing over me
Chorus
Father, sing over me when I’m losing it!
Father, sing over me when I’m wounded!
Father, sing over me with Your presence!
Father, sing over me with Your love!
Father, sing over me love unending!
Father, sing over me! I’m surrendering!
Father, sing over me with Your presence!
Father, sing over me!
Father, sing over me!
Father, sing over me!
