God Wants to Hear you Sing

I recently heard this song on a Sunday night at the church I attend here in Oklahoma. It struck a chord in my heart and has now become a favorite of mine.

Verse 1
Their chains were fastened tight
down at the jail that night
Still Paul and Silas would not be dismayed
They said, "It's time to lift our voice,
Sing praises to the Lord.
Let's prove that we will trust Him come what may."

Chorus
God wants to hear you sing
When the waves are crashing 'round you
When the fiery darts surround you
And despair is all you see
God wants to hear your voice
When the wisest man has spoken
And says your circumstance is as hopeless as can be
That's when God wants to hear you sing.

Verse 2
He loves to hear our praise
On our cheerful days
When the pleasant times outweigh the bad by far
But when suffering comes along,
And we still sing Him songs
That is when we bless the Father's heart.

Baby Dedication

September 20th found me with Mark and Bambie again - and this time to be a part of the baby dedication for Joel. The verse Mark and Bambie chose to describe what they envision for Joel's life was Psalm 83:18 "That men may know that Thou whose name alone is JEHOVAH art the most High over all the earth" Their prayer is that Joel would be a part of making JEHOVAH's name known wherever he goes.




Pastor Wess praying that God would make Joel a mighty evangelist who brings many people to God


Still happy at the end of his first bath


I caught this smile in the middle of one of his naps
