Go Out With Joy And Singing

We are commanded in scripture to "Go out with Joy" as well as to "Sing unto the Lord" I propose we can and should combine the two.

"It Is Well"

"It Is Well"
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blessed assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

- Words by Horatio G. Spafford, 1873
- Music by Philip P. Bliss, 1876

"Lord (I don't know)"

This isn't exactly a song saying to go or MOVE!, but it certainly gets the point across about following the Lord wherever it may go.

Lord (I don't know)
Newsboys
(Adoration: The Worship Album)

You are the author of knowledge
You can redeem what's been done
You hold the present and all that's to come
Until your everlasting kingdom

Lord, I don't know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead me to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt

You are the God of tomorrow
Turning the darkness to dawn
Lifting the hopeless with hope to go on
You are the rock of all salvation

Lord, I don't know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead me to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt

Oh, Lord, you are the author
Redeeming what's been done
You hold us in the present
And all that is to come

Lord, we don't know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead us to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt

"I Wait For The Lord"

For the subject of waiting this song seemed appropriate.

Artist: Jeremy Camp
Album: Carried Me: The Worship Project
Song: I Wait For The Lord

I wait for you Lord
My soul waits
I wait for you Lord

In your word I place my trust
In your word I rest
In your word I place my trust
For I know I must wait

I wait for you Lord
My soul waits
I wait for you Lord

"Let It Snow"

With the hope of snow for tomorrow this song seemed very appropriate. I'll let you know if it actually happens or not. The snow that is, not the lyrics to this song. I don't wish to get in that much trouble here at Pillsbury. Anyway, back to the snow.

"Let It Snow"

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Well, it doesn't show signs of stopping,
But we've got some corn for popping,
And the lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But as long as you hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

"Great Is Thy Faithfulness"

While at home this weekend I had the privilege of hearing my Grandma Hattie singing several old hymns including this one. If my 80+ year old grandma can still sing of God's faithfulness then I should as well.

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Refrain
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Refrain

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
