This Song is Stuck in My Head

I have always been a huge lover of music and I would consider myself extremely broad in my music tastes.  I can usually tolerate anything but country or screamo bands.  Country makes me cringe and screamo just scares me.  Through the years my music tastes have changed and you probably will not find me banging my head to Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit or one of the other anthems of the grunge era.  Currently, I keep a steady diet of worship music.  Hillsong is one of favorites right now because they seem to write inspirational songs which are closely tied to Scripture.  While I was studying in my office yesterday morning, one of Hillsong’s older songs began playing on my Pandora radio.  As I was listening to the words, my heart was overwhelmed by the truth in the song “Made Me Glad.”  Some of the words come straight out of Psalm 18.  I was so encouraged by the beauty of the song and the power of the words that I thought I would share it with you.  I have included the YouTube video of the song as performed by Hillsong.  I hope the words impact you!  After watching the video, take some time to leave a comment and tell me your favorite worship song/artist. I am always interested in expanding my music library.

I will bless the Lord forever
I will trust Him at all times
He has delivered me from all fear
He has set my feet upon a rock
I will not be moved
And I’ll say of the Lord

You are my Shield, my Strength
My Portion Deliverer
My Shelter, Strong tower
My very present help in time of need

Whom have I in heaven but You
There’s none I desire beside You
You have made me glad
And I’ll say of the Lord

You are my Shield, my Strength
My Portion Deliverer
My Shelter, Strong tower
My very present help in time of need

“I love you, Lord; you are my strength.  The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.  He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety” (Psalm 18:1-2)
