A Song in My Heart

When we first began praying about adopting again...when we found our little boy with the big brown eyes and could not forget him - I heard this song over and over again.  The lyrics are amazing!

Here they are:

You hear me when I call
You are my morning song
Though darkness fills the night
It can not hide the Light
Whom Shall I Fear

You Crush the enemy
Underneath my feet
You are my Sword and Shield
Though troubles linger still
Whom Shall I Fear

I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of Angel Armies
Is always by my side
The one who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of Angel Armies
Is always by my side

My strength is in Your Name
For You alone can save
You will deliver me
Yours is the victory
Whom shall I fear
Whom Shall I Fear

I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of Angel Armies
Is always by my side
The One who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of Angel Armies
Is always by my side

And nothing formed against me shall stand
You hold the whole world in your hand
I'm holding on to your promises
You are faithful
You ar Faithful

And nothing formed against me shall stand
You hold the whole world in Your hand
I am holding on to Your promises
You are faithful
You are Faithful
You are Faithful

I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of Angel Armies
Is always by my side (x2)

I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of Angel Armies
Is always by my side
The One who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of Angel Armies
Is always by my side

The God of Angel Armies
Is always by my side

I love the "God Defender" picture coupled with the assurance that He is my Friend.  He is so big and yet willing to meet me...be my Friend. 

There's this one and another song that I can't remember right now that continue to reassure me of God's promise of safety...He didn't promise I would be comfortable...but I will be safe.  He didn't promise me it would be easy...but He will be there.  He didn't promise me that I could see a purpose in the moment, but that everything He plans is for my good.
