Why would God sing over me?

















God sings over YOU because He loves you…

My whole life, I had never imagined God as One who would delight in me so much as to sing over me. I read this verse one day and it affected me so much:

Zephaniah 3:17, “The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."

~One day someone I cared about very much decided not to develop her relationship with God anymore. It made me sad, so I prayed. I felt like I needed to write her a song.


One night, I asked him “Ok God, if YOU could write her a song, what would YOU say to your daughter?” He began to give me the words to ‘Return to Me’.

Through tears I wrote that song because He was showing me just how much He loves EACH of His children and how, yes, He DOES desire to sing over us…over you.


~This began the journey of writing songs from God’s perspective. Most of the songs were written because God would show me how much He loved someone and I would ask Him: “What song would you sing over this child of yours?”

Each time, I was overwhelmed by the LOVE God has for each one of His children, including myself…including you.

Our God is LOVE. (1 John 4:16) His main desire is a relationship with us, one that is only available through a belief in Christ. He sings over us in order for us to understand His love and to know what is available for ALL who call on His Name. He truly desires to sing over us: songs of freedom, of love, of truth, of hope, of belonging, of deliverance:

Psalm 32:7, "You are my hiding-place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance."

~When I go shopping and go from store to store, I know there is always music playing in the background.

I can hear it, but I am too busy and too focused on other things to hear or listen to the words because they don’t matter to me. As we go about in this world, God is singing over us. His song plays from heaven: “Return to Me, my child, run into these arms of grace.”

Many of us are so busy, so focused on other things, that we don’t even notice this song. I am asking you to stop and listen…He’s singing to YOU!! And this song matters more than any other.

People Need The Lord




Everyday they pass me by,
I can see it in their eye;
Empty people filled with care,
Headed who knows where.
On they go through private pain,
Living fear to fear;
Laughter hides the silent cries
Only Jesus hears.

People need the Lord,
People need the Lord;
At the end of broken dreams,
He's the open door.

People need the Lord,
People need the Lord;
When will we realize
People need the Lord.

We are called to take His light
To a world where wrong is right;
What could be too great a cost
For sharing life with one who's lost?
Through His love our hearts can feel
All the grief they bear;

They must hear the Words of Life
Only we can share.

People need the Lord,
People need the Lord;
At the end of broken dreams,
He's the open door.

People need the Lord,
People need the Lord;
When will we realize
That we must give our lives,
For people need the Lord.
People need the Lord.

THE BUS RIDE




Several years ago, a preacher from out-of-state accepted a call to a church in Houston, Texas.

Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change.
As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, 'You'd better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it.' Then he thought, 'Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. Who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a gift from God and keep quiet.'

When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, 'Here, you gave me too much change.'

The driver, with a smile, replied, 'Aren't you the new preacher in town? I have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere to worship. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you, too much change. I'll
see you at church on Sunday.'

W hen the preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said, 'Oh God, I almost sold your Son for a quarter.'

Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read.. This is a really scary example of how much people watch us as Christians and will put us to the test! Always be on guard -- and remember -- You carry the name of Christ on your shoulders when you call yourself 'Christian..'

Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

God bless you; I hope you are having a wonderful day!


The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not PROTECT you....

Stay FAITHFUL and Be GRATEFUL!
