Several times recently — the first few words to the song I'll post today have been going through my mind.
Last night I wrote down a few lines I could remember — and just now did a search for it — and found the rendition I'll include below. "I Love You, Lord," written by Laurie Klein, is a simple Praise and Worship song that many Christians will remember from church services over the years — although I haven't heard it anywhere recently.
I'm not sure who does this version — or whether it is Klein herself — but I really love it and hope it will speak to your heart about our awesome Father in Heaven and fill you with His Love.
Recently I found a wonderful song called Haleluya, from a Rwandan group called the Heman Choir.
It is in their native language but I've added their words and an English translation below —
It seems they spell Hallelujah: Haleluya —But it means Praise the Lord in either spelling and in any language!
This song and video brings such joy to my heart — both because it is Praise and Worship to our Lord in Heaven - JESUS!
But also because I love to see and hear people around the world joining in The Great Multitude of Christians praising God!!
Apparently I'm not alone - because the song/video has 3.3 MILLION views on YouTube!!
------------------------
Update 7-3-18: Praise Jesus — a lot of people from MANY countries have viewed this post since it was shared here around 2 months ago!
I just went to YouTube to see what this video's current view count is there — and was ASTONISHED to discover it has now been viewed there almost 5.2 MILLION times!
That's nearly 2 million more views in just three months alone!!!
God is REALLY Blessing the efforts of the Rwandan Heman Choir!!
The comments under the video on YouTube are wonderful too because they come from people all around the world — sharing how much it has Blessed them — even when many admit they don't understand what is being sung — other than Haleluya (Praise the Lord)!
--------------------
Hope you enjoy this awesome video/song as much as I do — and that it lifts your heart and spirit!

I've not been getting notices about comments on this blog and just discovered one from earlier this year regarding Linda Gibson Johnson and her version of "I've Got It."
So I gave that track another listen and really love it — so I'll present a music only video of it below — along with lyrics underneath as well.
For those who would like to contact Sister Johnson — to purchase her music or for bookings: Where There's Smoke Music Ministries wheretheressmokemm@gmail.com
I pray this song touches your heart with the message of our RISEN Lord Jesus — and that God's Holy Spirit speaks to your heart revealing Himself to you!

I’ve Got It - Lyrics
I’ve got it in the morning, And I got it at night, (I’ve got it, I’ve got it)
I’ve got it on my knees, And I’ve got it right, (I’ve got it, I’ve got it)
Yeah, this thing keeps me day by day, (I’ve got it, I’ve got it)
And I don’t need to know about another way, (I’ve got it, I’ve got it)
Oh! It’s that Holy Ghost sent Fire, Upper room Power,
Fell upon me, I talked in tongues, Got in my mouth, And it didn’t take long, It went to my hands, Down to my feet, Got in my bones and all over me,
Now the devil don’t like it, ‘Cause he had it one time, (I’ve got it, I’ve got it)
And he’s been doing his best to steal me blind, (I’ve got it, I’ve got it)
Oh! What’s this thing I’ve been talking about? (I’ve got it, I’ve got it)
And it makes me shake and makes me shout, (I’ve got it, I’ve got it)
Chorus
Now Momma she had it, and my Daddy did too, (I’ve got it, I’ve got it)
He gave it to me and he’ll give it to you, (I’ve got it, I’ve got it)
If you wanna get it let me tell you how, (I’ve got it, I’ve got it)
You raise up your hands and you cry out loud, (I’ve got it, I’ve got it)
Chorus
I’ve got it, (I’ve got it) < Repeat 4 times
In time of trouble, (I’ve got it) Time of peace, (I’ve got it)
From the top of my head to the souls of my feet,
I’ve got it (I’ve got it) < Repeat 4 times
He saved my soul and He set me free,
I’ve got it (I’ve got it) < Repeat 4 times
No more ****, (I’ve got it) Sure *****, (I’ve got it)
I’ve found it, (I’ve got it)
And it’s kept me, (I’ve got it)
I’ve got it
Hmmmm, Yeah…..
