la la la la la la!!!!

I find such joy in singing songs that praise God! You know the songs that have those lyrics that are so RICH, TRUTHFUL, and JOYOUS that you are about to bust with love, praise, joy, and thankfulness just singing them! Well let me tell you- today was filled with songs like that!!!
The music this Sunday morning was just like it was every other Sunday in that is was AWESOME!! All the songs were amazing but Hallelujah to my King was my favorite! I mean could they fit in more truth and excitement in that song? WHat a reminder!

Hallelujah! What a savior!
I owe everything to Him
Hallelujah what a savior
Hallelujah to my King

With a chorus like that you can’t help but praise HIM for being a God who provides, forgave, forgives, and loves. I about busted with excitement at the last part of the third verse

One day, in Heaven, our eyes will meet
Filled with wonder, all the saints will sing

AHHHHHH- can you imagine!! Or course not!!! Its to wonderful for our minds to comprehend but man I CAN”T WAIT!!

Today, I was blessed with the opportunity to go and help lead worship with Harold Crow, Jason Pierce, and Marty Summers at Marty’s parent’s church. WHAT A PRIVILEGE!!! Oh my word- those folks were just absolutely precious! So warm and welcoming! Precious- just precious!!
Anyway- Harold picked a few old hymns to sing- I Surrender All, Just As I Am, and I’ll Fly Away! I know what you’re thinking- those were some good picks! To that I say- AMEN!!! Man oh man- beautiful lyrics!

I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; When I die,
Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away

This song is talking about death but the tempo is upbeat/faster! That’s the way it should be!!!! Jason and I got into a brief discussion about funerals on the way back to Conway (I would explain but I really can’t remember how we got there! Then again I am me- so there is really no telling). I was telling him that I want my funeral to be a PARTY and a CELEBRATION!!!! I don’t want there to be sadness- I can guarantee you I’m not going to be sad! I will be in the presence of my Maker, my Lord, my Father, and my Savior!


I know this was random and went in every direction! I just thought I would share with you how blessed I was with these reminders I found in the worship songs today!! :)
