Music Monday: Be still my soul

Be still, my soul, The Lord is on thy side.
Bear patiently, The cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God, to order and provide.
In every change, He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul, Thy best they heavenly Friend.
Through thorny ways, Leads to a joyful end.

Be still, my soul, thy God doth undertake.
To guide the future as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake.
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul, the waves and wind still know.
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.

In You I rest, In You I found my hope.
In You I trust, You never let me go.
I place my life within Your hands alone.
Be still, my soul.

Be still, my soul, the hour is hastening on.
When we shall be forever with the Lord.
When disappointment, grief and fear are gone.
Sorrow forgot, Love’s purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul, when change and tears are past.
All safe and blessed, we shall meet at last.

Be still, my soul x3

Music Monday: Forever

It has been a while since I’ve shared a Kari Jobe song here on Music Mondays. This one is called “Forever”:

The moon and stars they wept
The morning sun was dead
The Saviour of the world was fallen
His body on the cross
His blood poured out for us
The weight of every curse upon Him

One final breath He gave
As heaven looked away
The son of God was laid in darkness
A battle in the grave
The war on death was waged
The power of hell forever broken

The ground began to shake
The stone was rolled away
His perfect love could not be overcome
Now death where is your sting?
Our resurrected King
Has rendered you defeated

Forever He is glorified
Forever He is lifted high
Forever He is risen
He is alive, He is alive!

We sing hallelujah x3
The Lamb has overcome

You have overcome x4

Music Monday: Revelation Song

Today’s song is another from Kari Jobe, “Revelation Song”:

VERSE 1
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

Holy, holy is He
Sing a new song to Him who sits on
Heaven’s mercy seat

CHORUS
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty

Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings
You are my everything and I will adore You

VERSE 2
Clothed in rainbows of living color

Flashes of lighting rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor strength and glory and power be
To You the only wise King

VERSE 3
Filled with wonder awestruck wonder

At the mention of Your name
Jesus Your name is power, breath and living water
Such a marvelous mystery

Music Monday: Steady my heart

This week’s video is another one from Kari Jobe, “Steady my heart”:

VERSE 1
Wish it could be easy

Why is life so messy?
Why is pain a part of us?
There are days I feel like
Nothing ever goes right
Sometimes it just hurts so much

PRE-CHORUS
But You’re here

You’re real
I know I can trust You

CHORUS
Even when it hurts

Even when it’s hard
Even when it all just falls apart
I will run to You
‘Cause I know that You are
Lover of my soul
Healer of my scars
You steady my heart [x2]

VERSE 2
I’m not gonna worry

I know that You’ve got me
Right inside the palm of your hand
Each and every moment
What’s good and what gets broken
Happens just the way You plan

BRIDGE
And I will run to You

And find refuge in Your arms
And I will sing to You
‘Cause of everything You are

You steady my heart [x2]

Music Monday: We Are

Today’s Music Monday is an artist I haven’t listened to much until recently. The artist is Kari Jobe whose the song is based on the Gospel reading the other week, Matthew 5:14, (as well as Ephesians 5:8) and is entitled “We Are”:

Every secret, every shame 
Every fear, every pain 
Live inside the dark 
But that’s not who we are 
We are children of the day 

So wake up sleeper, lift your head 
We were meant for more than this 
Fight the shadows conquer death 
Make the most of the time we have left 

We are the light of the world 
We are the city on a hill 
We are the light of the world 
We gotta, we gotta, we gotta let the light shine x2 

We are called to the spread the news 
Tell the world the simple truth 
Jesus came to save, there’s freedom in His Name 
So let it all break through
