Keith Green - He'll Take Care Of The Rest



Hi brothers and sisters,

Though the years I've posted music/songs from the late Keith Green's on this blog.

Keith Green - Easter Song - October 2015

Decibelle - Your Love Broke Through (written by Green and others)- May 2017

-----------------

Although I haven't heard it in ages, Green's song He'll Take Care Of The Rest has been going through my mind recently—so I found a "music-only" video of it and have embedded that below.

I love the simple truth the song expresses about God's faithfulness—and putting our trust completely in Him—all over Green's rollicking bluesy, piano track.

I love too that Green infused his lyrics with some sly humor as well.

Philippians 4:6-7

---------------------

As always—I pray this song will Bless your life and fill your heart and mind to overflowing with the Love, Comfort, Healing, and Peace found only through the King of kings, and Lord of lords—Jesus the Messiah!

---------------------

If you don't already know Jesus as Lord—you can learn more about how to start your new life with Him below.

Lyrics are found under the video.





He'll Take Care Of The Rest - Lyrics

You know it ain't no use in banging your head
Up against that cold stone wall
'Cause nobody's perfect, except for the Lord
And even the best bound to fall

Remember He is de' vine and you are de' branch
He'd love to get you through it and if you'd give Him a chance
Just keep doing your best and pray that it's blessed
And Jesus takes care of the rest

Yes the Lord said that
"He'll take care of the rest"
He's gonna do it
Well, He'll take care of the rest
He'll see you through it, yeah
Well, He'll take care of the rest
The devil blew it
Well He'll take care of the
He'll take care of the rest

Just think about Moses, in front of the burning bush
Barefoot on the holy ground
You know, he must have been thinking
Hey what's an old dude like me gonna tell 'em all
When I go down, go down Moses

The Lord said, "Hey Moe
Don't you worry about you going down south
I'll be saying every word that comes out of your mouth
You just keep doing your best and pray that it's blessed
Hey Moe, I'll take care of the rest"

Yes the Lord said that
"He'll take care of the rest"
He's gonna do it
Well He'll take care of the rest
He'll see you through it, yeah
Well, He'll take care of the rest
Ooh, Pharaoh blew it
He'll take care of the
He'll take care of the rest

Just believe and you'll receive
That comfort you need

You just think about all those lonely people you know
They've got everything they want but they got empty souls

Well, He'll take care of the
He'll take care of the
He'll take care of the—care of the rest

You just think about Noah toting his umbrella
When there wasn't a cloud in the sky
All his neighbors would laugh at his patchy raft
And they would snicker as he'd passed by

But the Lord said, "Hey Noah
Be cool, you just keep building that boat
It's just a matter of time till they see who's gonna float
You just keep doing your best and pray that it's blessed
Hey Noah, I'll take care of the rest
I'm the weatherman"

The Lord said that
"He'll take care of the rest"
He's gonna do it
He'll take care of the rest
He'll see you through it, yeah
Well He'll take care of the rest
His neighbors blew it
He'll take care of the
He'll take care of the

He'll take care of the rest
He's gonna do it
He's gonna do it, yeah
He'll take care of the rest
Only Jesus can see you through it
He'll take care of the rest
Yes, yes, yes
He'll take care of the
He'll take care of the

He'll take care of the rest
You better believe it
He'll take care of the rest
Only the pure at heart receive it
He'll take care of the rest
Yes, yes, yes
He'll take care of the, he'll take care of the

He'll take care of the rest
Hallelujah
He'll take care of the rest
Only Jesus can give it to you
He'll take care of the rest
He'll take care of the rest

Natalie Grant - Held


Hello brothers and sisters!

I was going through old drafts for this blog—and WAY back at nearly the beginning of it I had started one about this song—Held—from Natalie Grant.

I'm not exactly sure why I didn't post it way back when but when I listened to it again I found it very moving—and this morning when I woke up I had it going through my mind—and felt that it was at long last time to share it here.

I'm always interested in the back-story for songs and found this website entry about the song:

https://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/lyrics/new/track.asp?track_id=4067

"'Held' is written by a friend of Natalie's, her name is Christa Wells [who related]:

'A few years ago, I was suddenly confronted by three stories of tragic loss: two close friends shared with me the pain of losing a husband and an infant son, respectively, and my mother-in-law shared the heart-wrenching experience of delivering a stillborn baby girl. The faith of these women and their families deeply affected me, and I was struck by one thing they all seemed to be saying: God never promised we'd be exempt from heartache. In fact, He said we would suffer greatly here on earth. But God promises this: He will never leave us. In our most painful moments, we will in fact be 'held' - and find our comfort there. This song was written from the testimonies of these women and intended as a gift to their families; it's been beautiful and amazing to see it reach so many others.' - Christa Wells (author of 'Held'" 

---------------------

No matter what trials you are facing in your life—as you listen to this beautiful song—please allow God to speak His Truth, Healing, and Love into your heart and life!

Lamentations 3:22-23

Held - Lyrics

Two months is too little
They let him go
They had no sudden healing

To think that providence would take a child from his mother
While she prays, is appalling
 
Who told us we'd be rescued
What has changed and why should we be saved from nightmares

We're asking why this happens to us
Who have died to live, it's unfair

This is what it means to be held
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive

This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was when everything fell
We'd be held

This hand is bitterness
We want to taste it and let the hatred numb our sorrows


The wise hand opens slowly
To lilies of the valley and tomorrow

This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive

This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was when everything fell
We'd be held

If hope if born of suffering
If this is only the beginning
Can we not wait for one hour
Watching for our Savior

This is what it means to be held
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive

This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was when everything fell
We'd be held

Hillary Scott And The Scott Family - Sheltered In The Arms Of God


"Music-Only" Video Below

Hi!

Sheltered In The Arms Of God, written by Gospel performer Dottie Rambo, has been covered by many artists through the years—and on January 6 of 2013 I shared a wonderful Reggae Gospel version of it by Tashai Houston:

https://godsbigshow.blogspot.com/2013/01/awesome-reggae-gospel-tashai-houston.html

I love hearing different interpretations of excellent and moving Gospel songs—and the way different artists add their own personalities and styles to them.

While Tashai Houston's version of Sheltered in the Arms Of God is light and upbeat—today's interpretation from Hillary Scott and the Scott Family (with matriarch Linda Davis on lead vocals) takes a softer and more gentle approach.

Either way—this beautiful song speaks to the heart of Christian believers need for our Savior and our longing to be united with Jesus—our Lord—Forever in heaven.

Sheltered In The Arms Of God - Lyrics

I feel the touch of hands so kind and tender
They're leading me in paths that I must trod
I'll have no fear
For Jesus walks beside me
For I'm sheltered in the arms of God

So let the storms rage high
The dark clouds rise
They don't worry me
For I'm sheltered, safe, within the arms of God

He walks with me
And naught of Earth shall harm me
For I'm sheltered in the arms of God

Soon I shall hear the call from Heaven's portals
Come home my child
It's the last mile you must trod
I'll fall asleep and wake up in God's new Heaven
For I'm sheltered in the arms of God

So let the storms rage high
The dark clouds rise
They don't worry me
For I'm sheltered, safe, within the arms of God

He walks with me
And naught of Earth shall harm me
For I'm sheltered in the arms of God
Sheltered, safe within the arms of God

Connla - Wayfaring Stranger - Moving Music Video


Hi,

Recently, I found a lovely version of, Wayfaring Stranger, by the Irish group, Connla—and have embedded the moving video the band created for it below.

The group uses beautiful vocals and traditional Irish instruments to evoke a wonderful musical arrangement of this 19th century American folk/Gospel song about being reunited with family and our Lord when we reach our eternal home with Him in the new heaven and earth.

Revelation 21:4

-------------------------------

I pray this beautiful song and video will Bless you—and your heart and life will be flooded with the true knowledge of the abundant Mercy and Grace found only through the King of Kings, and Lord of lords—Jesus the Messiah and Perfect Lamb of God.

Wayfaring Stranger - Lyrics

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world alone
There is no fear, no toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go

I'm goin' there to see my mother
I'm goin' there, no more to roam
I am just goin' over Jordan
I am just goin' over home

I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But beautiful fields they lie before me
I know my way is rough and steep

I'm goin' there to see my Father
He said he'd meet me on the road
I am just goin' over Jordan
I am just goin' over home

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world alone
There is no fear, no toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go

I'm goin' there to see my mother
I'm goin' there, no more to roam
I am just goin' over Jordan
I am just goin' over home
