I have decided to share the Easter message beginning with Sunday\u2019s post, so we have five more days to sing music together.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I have the days planned and two of the five are songs written by Darlene Zschech of Hillsong. What can I say? Their lyrics and music is moving. Both physically and spiritually. Their music draws me closer to Jesus and they also seem to say exactly what I am feeling. So I will continue to praise this group for their music.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Today I\u2019ve chosen their song, \u201cMade Me Glad.\u201d It doesn\u2019t matter where I am when I hear it, I stop and sing and worship God. If possible, I restart the song\u2026perhaps multiple times. That\u2019s how moved I am by this song.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I am touched by this song because of the multiple messages held within its lyrics. Praising God for all He\u2019s done. Never having to be fearful because He is always with me. Standing firm in my faith.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And it continues. Enjoying all that God provides. Protection. Strength. Fulfillment. Sustenance. Help. Joy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I love this song for its message. So let\u2019s read through and listen to this song and as we do, let\u2019s bask in God\u2019s great love for us. There is nothing, there is no one who can satisfy like God.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMade Me Glad\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I will bless the Lord forever<br \/>\nI will trust Him at all times<br \/>\nHe has delivered me from all fear<br \/>\nHe has set my feet upon a rock<br \/>\nI will not be moved<br \/>\nAnd I&#8217;ll say of the Lord<\/p>\n<p>You are my Shield, my Strength<br \/>\nMy Portion Deliverer<br \/>\nMy Shelter, Strong tower<br \/>\nMy very present help in time of need<\/p>\n<p>Whom have I in heaven but You<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s none I desire beside You<br \/>\nYou have made me glad<br \/>\nAnd I&#8217;ll say of the Lord<\/p>\n<p>You are my Shield, my Strength<br \/>\nMy Portion Deliverer<br \/>\nMy Shelter, Strong tower<br \/>\nMy very present help in time of need<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=U0Zc_VWJJoI\">here <\/a>to hear Hillsong sing this glorious song\u2026over and over again if you like.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cFor you make me glad by your deeds, O Lord; I sing for joy at the works of your hands.\u201d<\/em> (Psalm 92:4 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Donna<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">[i]<\/a> Made Me Glad, Darlene Zschech, Hillsong, 2002<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Well it\u2019s nearly finished.
