WOW! It's so true the saying I've heard for years that music soothes the savage beast! It amazes me how God works through music, things I always find soothing to the soul. Yesterday at church I was privy to be able to sing on the praise team, which is something I haven't done since changing churches, which was totally a thing not by choice, but something maybe I'll be able to talk about later. In any case, the praise team song last night was "I exalt thee", the words are so simple and they roll off the tounge so smooth, "I exalt thee, I exalt thee, I exalt thee, oh Lord!" the songs that had been sang prior to the praise team coming to sing had all been about having a thankful heart, and how heaven is so close, and as we began to sing I exalt thee, the first part of the verse says for thou oh Lord art high above the earth, I began to think about this and a beautiful time of worship which was already going on in our service seemed to become charged even more with just simple words, exaltation to the Lord, our Reedemer. A song that in these days when so many have a "troubled soul" it becomes like a soothing ointment on a wound, when physically you can't see the pain that a person is in - the words to a song or the words of a friend can be so soothing and do more healing in a moment than one will ever know. I exalt thee oh Lord - your high above the Heavens, you are our Reedemer, you rule and you reign, and though our trials may be great here on this earth, they are nothing compared to what you endured on the cross to take away our sins! So simply today, I hope you will join me, and just Exalt Him! He is worthy of all exaltation!
