“But finding You brought my heart to rest,
In the shadow of Your wings I’ll hide
Your words are true and merciful
And forgiveness bought by You is mine…”

How Great Thou Art
“Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Life Without Jesus….I Couldn’t Do It
A Facebook friend recently announced, “I no longer know if I believe in God.” He/she is now publicly and openly debating the existence of God and Jesus in what they feel to be a highly intelligent and logical way. I can’t even think of the words to say; all I feel is utter sadness for this person. To lose hope in the only hope. Jesus is what keeps me going, what keeps me moving and breathing and hoping and living. And I can’t explain it logically to this person; I just know it. So I’m praying for him/her. Because Jesus is strong enough, big enough, loving enough to bring them back to himself. Please join me in praying, for this person and all the others who need that hope, those answers.
“When people say, you know, ‘Good teacher,’ ‘Prophet,’ ‘Really nice guy’….this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. So you’re left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who He said he was or a complete and utter nut case. You have to make a choice on that.” ~Bono
So, so thankful for Jesus. Blessings, Lisa

Playing Your Heart Out, Even If No-One’s Listening
As a musician, it’s sometimes hard to perform your best when no one seems to be enjoying it. But yet, some of my best times playing music are when it’s just me and God, the stillness of a room, the banging of the piano keys, the not worrying about the performance, just talking in the best way I can to Jesus. To me, the best music is that way….a heartfelt conversation, a pouring out of emotion and feeling and angst and joy and whatever else makes up these human hearts that we have. And all of that is not dependent on crowds or audiences or attention. The One who made us is always listening, always attentive, always ready to hear what we are saying or trying to say. Thank you God. Blessings, Lisa
