welcome to may, my favorite month! :)
I love how the verse of this song is straight from the sixty-second psalm! It’s a lovely song to me, reminding me that God alone is my source. Not a friend, job, husband, material possessions, approval of humans. All of these can easily slip away, but God is steady and never-changing. He’s constant! And that’s why my soul must continually find hope in Him alone!
find rest~ annie lawrence
I find rest for my soul in God alone
My hope comes from Him, from God alone
He alone is my Rock and my Salvation
He’s my fortress, I will not be shaken
Through the fire and storm,
Lord my heart is Yours
I will trust with hands held high
When the waters rise
Lord Your love is life
I will trust with hands held high
You are my God and Savior
You’re my Deliverer
“yes, my soul, find rest
in God; my hope comes from Him. truly He is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my
fortress, I shall not be shaken.” Psalm
62:5-6
“when you pass through the
waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not
sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the
flames will not set you ablaze.” Isaiah
43:2
“may my prayer be set
before You like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening
sacrifice.” Psalm 141:2
“I will praise You as long
as I live, and in Your name I will lift up my hands.” Psalm 63:4
‘but I will sing of Your
strength, in the morning I will sing of Your love; for You are my fortress, my
refuge in times of trouble.” Psalm 59:16
“You are my hiding-place;
you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.” Psalm 32:7
“the Lord your God is with
you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in His
love He will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” zephaniah 3:17
Is your soul finding hope
in God alone? If you lost all you have like Job can you sincerely still praise
God and say your salvation in Christ is the most important treasure you have?
Allow your soul to find rest in God alone.
