For no apparent reason, Downhere’s “From Protest to Praise” has become my most-played song for the past few days. As a result, I started listening to the words and, surprisingly, they seem to echo the collection of feelings that I’ve been having lately. Although I’m quite sure of my faith, I don’t profess to know everything there is to know about Christianity. There are still many questions that I have, which I’ll be sure to ask God when I meet Him in Heaven. Lately, I’ve been searching, asking and looking for answers and I feel like I am changing. I’m not sure exactly where I am headed, but I trust that it will be for the better.
I knew the times would come
And now the times have landed
With stinging abrasion
As ready as I seem to be
It’s never like I planned it
I’m wrestling my thoughts, I’m overcome
Would You give me up? I’m asking, Lord
There’s nowhere I sense Your presence here
So I will cry out, until I go
From protest to praise
You’re always amazing me
You’re changing me slow, but surely
And You’re gonna see me to the end
How long will I be forgotten by You forever?
You’re not making sense here
Seems like eternity has made a home between us
I’m wrestling my thoughts, I’m overcome
Would You give me up? I’m asking, Lord
There’s nowhere I sense Your presence here
So I will cry out, until I go
From protest to praise
You’re always amazing me
You’re changing me slow, but surely
And You’re gonna see me to the end
it’s a good song.
Although this isn’t completely relevant, remember when I brought up Joyce Meyer? Well if you’re interested (and if you’re not just ignore me…), you can watch her show everyday online at http://www.joycemeyer.org (that way one doesn’t have to get up so early). Just click on the TV link under “Today’s Broadcast”. Oh and I’ll let you know soon when I can drop by and you can tell me if it’s an okay time or not.
Oops, I forgot to put my name in my last comment even though it’s probably obvious it’s from me…
