<\/a>This station is called Enlighten and they play gospel music. Quartets, family singers, and all things \u201csouthern\u201d fill the air waves with praises to God for all He has done.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The part that has captured my heart are the lyrics. What power there are in words that speak of how God is in control or that He is bigger than anything I might encounter today or telling of Jesus\u2019 sacrifice for the lost and dying of this world. They all tell a story. The story. God\u2019s story. And how its message can change lives.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019d like to share a few of these songs that have had an impact on my listening life. I pray that you\u2019ll find some encouragement, a touching word or even salvation through these musical tunes. They certainly bring a smile to my face and a song to my heart!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cDidn\u2019t I Walk on the Water?\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As I kneel in the darkness in the middle of the night;
\nI\u2019m praying for\u00a0assurance\u00a0everything\u2019s gonna be alright.
\nLord I see another battle out in front of me;
\nI\u2019m afraid I won\u2019t be able and I\u2019ll go down in defeat.<\/p>\n
(Chorus)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He said, do you remember where I brought you from;
\nJust\u00a0take a look\u00a0behind you at how far you\u2019ve come.
\nAnd every time you asked me, didn\u2019t I deliver you;
\nSo why would you be thinking that I wouldn\u2019t see you through.<\/p>\n
(Chorus)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now she\u2019s talking to her\u00a0father\u00a0in a house that was once a\u00a0home.
\nShe said my bills are coming due Lord and six days is not that long.
\nShe hears a voice so still and low;
\nIt says I\u2019ve moved like that before.
\nAnd I\u2019ll do this little thing and I\u2019ll give you so much more.<\/p>\n
(Chorus)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Chorus:<\/p>\n
And He said, I walked on the water and I calmed the raging sea; <\/p>\n If you\u2019d like to listen to this song as sung by the Dunaways, you can click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The line that captured me in this song was the second line of the chorus. \u201cI spoke to the wind, it hushed and I gave you peace.\u201d There is some power in these words. But how often do we try to find peace on our own. If you\u2019re like me, it happens quite often.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As we offer our problems and our troubles to God, He brings peace. His Son, Jesus is the Prince of Peace. Let\u2019s choose peace. God\u2019s peace instead of turmoil in our lives. Just wait for the calm.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another song that I fell for is one that I can\u2019t seem to find and that makes me sad. I only got one line written down, but it is the powerful line that caught my attention.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The song was about David confronting Goliath and the lyric is from David\u2019s perspective. \u201cDon\u2019t compare it to me, compare it to God.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our troubles may seem large, even looming. But if we remember this simple line, our troubles will never seem to overtake us. Under my control and by my standards, my giants will destroy me. But as I offer them to God, one by one, He takes them down and I am released from their disabling hand.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019ve been through many situations that I am certain would have destroyed me if God wasn\u2019t in control. But with Him by my side, nothing is too big. Nothing is too difficult. Nothing is too hard.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you know what song this lyric comes from, would you mind letting me know? I\u2019d love to share the entire song with my readers (and myself!).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And finally, I heard an old hymn that was a favorite of my Grandpa Ike. \u201cBeulah Land\u201d will always remind me of him whenever I hear it. He had lived a long life and Beulah Land was his final destination and his final goal. How I long to be with him (and many other loved ones) in that great land where we will all spend eternity praising God.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cBeulah Land\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019ve reached the land of corn and wine, (Chorus)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My Savior comes and walks with me, (Chorus)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A sweet perfume upon the breeze, (Chorus)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The zephyrs seem to float to me, (Chorus)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chorus:<\/p>\n O Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land, <\/p>\n If you\u2019re interested in listening to this song, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n However, this was not the song I actually heard. I heard \u201cSweet Beulah Land.\u201d Same message, but a little different delivery. Here are the lyrics to this one.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cSweet Beulah Land\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’m kind of homesick for a country <\/p>\n Chorus: <\/p>\n And here\u2019s the link <\/a>to listen to this melody.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These are just a few of my experiences with this radio station. I pray that you\u2019ve found some encouragement to keep moving today. But most of all, I pray that you\u2019ve come to know the One who is able to help you through this day.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you’re interested in leaving me a comment, please click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n [i]<\/a> \u201cDidn\u2019t I Walk on the Water?\u201d Songwriter, Linda Gibson Johnson,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [ii]<\/a> \u201cBeulah Land,\u201d Words by Edgar Stites and Music by John Sweney, 1876<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [iii]<\/a> \u201cSweet Beulah Land,\u201d written and composed by\u00a0Squire Parsons<\/a>, 1973<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We\u2019ve recently purchased a new car and part of the package included three months of Sirus XM stations.

\nI spoke to the wind, it hushed and I gave you peace.
\nDidn\u2019t\u00a0I run\u00a0to your rescue didn\u2019t I\u00a0hear\u00a0you when you called;
\nI walked right beside you just so you wouldn\u2019t fall.
\nDidn\u2019t I leave all of Heaven just to die for your sin;
\nI searched until I found you and I\u2019d do it all again.[i]<\/a><\/p>\n
\nAnd all its riches freely mine;
\nHere shines undimmed one blissful day,
\nFor all my night has passed away.<\/p>\n
\nAnd sweet communion here have we;
\nHe gently leads me by His hand,
\nFor this is Heaven\u2019s border land.<\/p>\n
\nIs borne from ever vernal trees,
\nAnd flow\u2019rs, that never fading grow
\nWhere streams of life forever flow.<\/p>\n
\nSweet sounds to Heaven\u2019s melody,
\nAs angels with the white robed throng
\nJoin in the sweet redemption song.<\/p>\n
\nAs on thy highest mount I stand,
\nI look away across the sea,
\nWhere mansions are prepared for me,
\nAnd view the shining glory shore,
\nMy Heav\u2019n, my home forever more![ii]<\/a><\/p>\n
\nTo which I’ve never been before;
\nNo sad goodbyes will ever be spoken,
\nAnd time won’t matter any more.
\n(Chorus)<\/p>\n
\nI’m looking now across the river
\nWhere my faith will end in sight;
\nThere’s just a few more days to labor,
\nAnd then I’ll take my heavenly flight.
\n(Chorus)<\/p>\n
\nBeulah land, I’m longing for you,
\nAnd, some day, on thee I’ll stand,
\nThere my home shall be eternal.
\nBeulah land, sweet Beulah land.[iii]<\/a><\/p>\n
\nDonna<\/p>\n
