Bless the Lord

      I had to share with anyone reading this blog this song that I have found so beautiful and encouraging. The artist, Laura Story, has such a sweet voice that is just so gentle to the ear. I love her music. Her song, Perfect Peace, has helped me through a very tough trial in my life.

      It was so good to listen to her sing about how even though God may not calm the storms around me that I can rest in Him and He will give me perfect peace a midst the war around me. It was a huge encouragement and so helpful to turn that song on and let it just minister to me. I love songs like that. They are full of God's truth and go deep. Any way, if you've not heard of Laura Story or her song, Perfect Peace, then I encourage you to give her a listen. I don't think you will be disappointed.

     My reason for this post was to share a new song of hers that I heard the other day. It is such a beautiful song and just felt like sharing. Hope you like it. :)

Bless the Lord by Laura Story

You give and take away for my good
For who am I to say what I need?
For You alone see the hidden parts of me
That need to be stripped away.

And as You begin to refine
I'm learning to let go and rely
On One who walks with me
As hard as it may be,
You're teaching me all the while to say:

Bless the Lord, oh my soul
All that's in me bless Your name
Forget not Your power untold
Not Your glory or Your fame
For You came to heal the broken
To redeem and make me whole
Bless the Lord, oh my soul

Lord, You give and take away for my good
For who am I to say what I need?
For You alone see the hidden parts of me
That need to be stripped away.

And as You begin to refine
I'm learning to let go and rely
On One who walks with me
As hard as it may be,
You're teaching me all the while to say:

Bless the Lord, oh my soul
All that's in me bless Your name
Forget not Your power untold
Not Your glory or Your fame
For You came to heal the broken
To redeem and make me whole
Bless the Lord, oh my soul

Though my faith may falter, my strength may fail
I pray for eyes to see the richness of Your mercy shown to me!

Bless the Lord, bless the Lord...

Bless the Lord, oh my soul
All that's in me bless Your name
Forget not Your power untold
Not Your glory or Your fame
For You came to heal the broken
To redeem and make me whole
Bless the Lord, bless the Lord
Oh my soul, oh my soul

Bless the Lord, bless the Lord
