Healing. Light. A song. Breath. Hope. Provision. Cleansing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But it goes on to remind me that there is a response for me when God has replenished my soul. I am to dance and shout endless praise to my Creator.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Do you find yourself in one or more of these circumstances today? If so, what will your response be? Will you ask the God of all creation to replenish your soul or will you allow the hurt of this world to drag you down? Will you ask the God of all creation to be your song, your breath and your hope? Will you respond to His graciousness with dancing and praise?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Before you read through the lyrics of this song, I\u2019d like to remind you of David\u2019s words from Psalm 149. He said, <em>\u201cPraise the Lord. Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints. Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people of Zion be glad in their King. Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with tambourine and harp. For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with salvation. Let the saints rejoice in this honor and sing for joy on their beds.\u201d<\/em> (Psalm 149:1-5 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s worship the One who provides all\u00a0that we need.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou Are\u201d<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When I can&#8217;t find the words\u00a0to say how much it hurts<br \/>\nYou are the healing in my heart<br \/>\nWhen all that I can see are broken memories<br \/>\nYou are the light that&#8217;s in the dark<\/p>\n<p>Chorus:<br \/>\nYou are the song,<br \/>\nYou are the song I&#8217;m singing<br \/>\nYou are the air,<br \/>\nYou are the air I&#8217;m breathing<br \/>\nYou are the hope,<br \/>\nYou are the hope I needed<br \/>\nYou are<\/p>\n<p>And when my circumstance leaves me with empty hands<br \/>\nYou are the provider of my needs<br \/>\nWhen all my dirtiness has left me helpless<br \/>\nYou are the rain that washes me<\/p>\n<p>(Chorus)<\/p>\n<p>If I had no voice,<br \/>\nIf I had no tongue,<br \/>\nI would dance for you like the rising sun.<br \/>\nAnd when that day comes and I see your face.<br \/>\nI will shout your endless glorious praise.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ready to listen?
