This week’s song is “Highs and Lows” By Hillsong Young and Free.

Sometimes life is not going to go as planned- we are going to have times of great joys and great sorrow. I love that no matter what- we can stand on the promise that our Abba father will be with us. May this song bless you no matter what you are facing today.

Highs and Lows by Hillsong Young and Free

When it feels like the dark

Lingers longer than the night

When the shadows feel like giants

Are You chasing me down?

Tell me where could I run

From Your light, where could I hide

Hemmed within Your precious thoughts

There's no hiding from Your love

Highs and lows

Lord, You're with me either way it goes

Should I rise or should I fall?

Even so

Lord, Your mercy is an even flow

You're too good to let me go

Should I dance on the heights

Or make my bed among the depths

Your mercy waits at every end

Like You planned it from the start

Should the dawn come with wings

Or find me far-side of the sea

There Your hand still fastens me

Ever closer to Your heart, oh

Highs and lows

Lord, You're with me either way it goes

Should I rise or should I fall?

Even so

Lord, Your mercy is an even flow

Should I rise or should I fall?

You are faithful through it all

You're too good to let me go

Highs and lows

You surround me either way it goes

Should I rise or should I fall?

Lord, You're with me through it all, oh

Highs and lows

In the rhythms of Your grace I know

Should I rise or should I fall?

You are faithful through it all

And You're too good to let me go

The song this week is the acoustic version of “Let Go” by Hillsong Young and Free.

Surrender is such a hard thing to do. I know I , myself am a type A personality and like to be in control. I just like things to go how I planned. Learned early in life that- that is not always going to happen. I love how this song is just another wonderful reminder that we having a loving Father that hears our cries- we just need to let go. May it Bless you today.

Let Go by Hillsong Young and Free

I close my eyes and colors fly

There's no hiding from Your grace

I can't deny Your heart for mine

And its unrelenting chase

I was on the edge of deception

Caught up in my own hesitation

Until Your love took over me

So I let go and I let love

Show me life like it's supposed to be

An oasis here awaits us

All the freedom I'll ever need

Now I'm alive

Oh-la-la, oh-la-la

When I let go then I found life

Oh-la-la, oh-la-la

When I let go then I found life

The higher way is calling me

To a life unlike before

The Father's heart is beckoning

And I can't resist no more

Lead me in the ways of devotion

I don't wanna get caught in the motions

My heart is only for You, Lord

So I let go and I let love

Show me life like it's supposed to be

An oasis here awaits us

All the freedom I'll ever need

Now I'm alive

Oh-la-la, oh-la-la

When I let go then I found life

Oh-la-la, oh-la-la

When I let go then I found life

So I let go and I let love

Show me life like it's supposed to be

An oasis here awaits us

All the freedom I'll ever need

Now I'm alive

When I let go then I found life

When I let go, then I found life

When I let go then I found life

Oh-la-la, oh-la-la

When I let go then I found life

Rescue

The song for this week’s worship Wednesday is “Rescue” by Lauren Daigle. I always have loved Lauren’s back story and what she overcame to get to where she is today. I don’t think there is a song of hers I do not love-it just depends on the day which one I love more. In “Rescue” it reminds us we are never alone, no matter the odds stacked against us. May it bless you today.

Rescue by Lauren Daigle

You are not hidden

There's never been a moment

You were forgotten

You are not hopeless

Though you have been broken

Your innocence stolen

I hear you whisper underneath your breath

I hear your SOS, your SOS

I will send out an army to find you

In the middle of the darkest night

It's true, I will rescue you

There is no distance

That cannot be covered

Over and over

You're not defenseless

I'll be your shelter

I'll be your armor

I hear you whisper underneath your breath

I hear your SOS, your SOS

I will send out an army to find you

In the middle of the darkest night

It's true, I will rescue you

I will never stop marching to reach you

In the middle of the hardest fight

It's true, I will rescue you

I hear the whisper underneath your breath

I hear you whisper, you have nothing left

I will send out an army to find you

In the middle of the darkest night

It's true, I will rescue you

I will never stop marching to reach you

In the middle of the hardest fight

It's true, I will rescue you

Oh, I will rescue you

Sails

The song I chose this week is “Sails” by Pat Barrett featuring Steffany Gretzinger, and Amanda Cook.

This song is Beautiful okay-just beautiful!!!! There are so many songs written surrounding the theme of surrender, but the way this one is worded is just so sweet and authentic. There is such a longing within the words. I can relate to so many situations where I have said to God “here just take over-I give in, I can’t do this on my own” This trio is singing the same thing in the most anointed way. May it bless you today.

Sails by Pat Barrett

Falling is easy, but staying in love is hard

Hard to be honest and keep our heart open

To be who we truly are

Without the excuses, without the façade

There's no pretending

Here in Your love

Oh, Lord set me free

I'm finally seeing You were here all along

Your love wasn't absent, no

It doesn't come or go

The image I've had is starting to fail

You're patient with me

You're lifting the veil

Oh, Lord set me free

Oh, Lord set me free (set me free)
