"And Now My Lifesong Sings"
I'm a musician, by both profession, as well as by passion... making music is by far the most enjoyable thing I can think of. There are few things I would rather do that play an instument or sing. It's simply on of my greatest joys... and has been for as long as I can remember.
I have been thinking this last week over my testimony... not the testimony of my salvation, but of the everyday manifestaions of Christ in my life. As I was thinking about how the Lord has proven Himself over and over to me in the last 3, almost 4, years since my father's death, I realized that I marked different times, and file different occurances in my life by songs... not by years, or certain events, but by songs. I know this is NOT normal, but then few things about me seem to be "normal". I guess I do this because I relate so much of life to music. I constantly hear it in my head; when I'm having a conversation, looking at pictures, whatever, there is a continual concert playing in my mind. And therefore, as I remember various times of the past, I see them with music that goes with it... that follows the theme of whatever it is I'm remembering. And therefore, when I started reflecting on God's amazing goodness to me, and chroniclizing it in my mind, there was music to match it all the way through. Many of the songs that I believe have characterized certain times in my life I've already talked about on this blog, and many of them could almost completely tell my life story... but just almost, never totally. And as I thought about this, I wondered if there was a song that could be "MY SONG"; the song that told my story... the way I want my life to be. And immediately a song came to mind. It's a song a friend of mine introduced me to, by one of my favorite artists, Casting Crowns. And so, I wanted to share with you, through song, the prayer that I pray will be true of my life, as well as yours; that our "lifesong" truly may sing to Him.
Singing,

And Now My Lifesong Sings
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
So far away, but I'm Home now.
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
And now my lifesong sings.
I once was blind, but now I see.
I once was blind, but now I see.
I don't know how, but when He touched me,
I once was blind, but now I see.
And now my lifesong sings.
And now my lifesong sings.
And now my lifesong sings.
I once was dead, but now I live.
I once was dead, but now I live
Now my life to You I give.
Now my life to You I give.
Now my life to You I give.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
Let my lifesong sing to You!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
Let my lifesong sing to you!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
Let my lifesong sing to you!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
Let my lifesong sing to you!

Amen.

Dearest Rebekah,
What a wonderful song to adopt as "your song." The desire of our life should be to live a life that is pleasing to Him. Our lifesong should say "halleluja - praise the Lord." Thank you for that reminder!
I love you Sister,
Erin
It is an amazing song, I love it. And I do hope that one day it can be said of me (not necessarily by other humans, but from the Lord) that my lifesong truly sang to Him who gave me breath and voice. What an intense thought to be told by the Father that your life "sang" to, of, and by Him. Wow. Thanks for reading and posting... it's good to know someone's reading!
