Many of us find ourselves in bewildering circumstances that challenge and confound—causing us to question ourselves and the meaning of our lives.
It's in these darkest times, when we are brought to the point of despair, that we often finally hear the patient call of our Heavenly Father in our lives.
Today's post features the "Official Lyric Video" of Zach Williams' song, Rescue Story, that echoes that experience of turning from that lonely despair to the Loving embrace of God.
I pray this post and Williams' music will Bless you and fill your heart, mind, and spirit with the Perfect Love and Grace from the Lord of life, Jesus Christ, the Risen Savior and Lord!

Rescue Story - Lyrics
There I was empty handed
Crying out from the pit of my despair
There you were in the shadows
Holding out your hand you met me there
And now where would I be without you
Where would I be, Jesus
You were the voice in the desert
Calling me out in the dead of night
Fighting my battles for me
You are my rescue story
Lifted me up from the ashes
Carried my soul from death to life
Bringing me from glory to glory
You are my rescue story
You were writing the pages
Before I had a name
Before I needed grace
Singing songs of redemption
Every time I ran away
You were louder than my shame
And now where would I be without you
Where would I be? Jesus
You were the voice in the desert
Calling me out in the dead of night
Fighting my battles for me
You are my rescue story
Lifted me up from the ashes
Carried my soul from death to life
Bringing me from glory to glory
You are my rescue story
You never gave up on me
You never gave up on me
You are my testimony
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and
believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are
justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
---------------------------------
If
you've made this decision—believed it in your heart and confessed it
with your mouth—let God speak to you by reading the Bible—and seek
out fellowship with others who also believe.
Pour
out your heart to God in Prayer (simply speaking to Him in
reverence)—asking Him to reveal Himself to you and to provide for your
needs. Life in Jesus is the best decision you will ever make. God Bless You!
Today's post features Josh Garrels and a video/live performance of his song, Sisu.
Simply seated on a chair, holding a guitar, and leaning into a microphone, Garrels launches into its challenging lyric, metaphorically catapulting listeners through his thoughts and feelings about his earthly experience—from the futility of life without God and a search for meaning without Him—to the realization that God alone is THE ANSWER—and He alone is Truth.
Screen Caps From The Video Below
The song floods the mind and heart with thoughts and phrases that are poetic and engaging, yet deeply moving and profound—building and building until you feel your heart stirred with the unmistakable conclusion that Garrels, like the lost and wandering sheep of Jesus' parable, has been Found at last by our Creator and LORD!
Garrels' lyrics (included under the video), as stated above, AREchallenging—but God's Love and Truth come brightly SHINNING through.
As always, I hope and pray that Garrels' music will speak to you, filling your mind, heart, and spirit with the unmistakable Peace, Comfort, Love, And Blessings of knowing our Risen Lord and Savior—Jesus the Messiah!!

Acts 13:38-39 38
“Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the
forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. 39 Through him everyone who
believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able
to obtain under the law of Moses.
By the word and command, mortal man can stand, Son of Man is the manna manifest
In the flesh and the blood, and the bones and the rocks, in the valley of the dead
The dry bones are gonna walk and talk
To the rhythm of the saints y’all, to the rhythm of the saints
And I paint it red to remember the dead, who laid down their lives for the truth
And the seed that is buried takes root, and this ignorant world will have proof
See I remember the sins of my youth, the path and the madness of unrestrained pleasure
The heavier trip it made the heavier debtor
In the deepest of dark without a wing or a feather,
The spiral closed in like a cage
Like a cage
A maze that’s amazing for days turns to rage if the page it refuses to turn
And the hopeless will hope the book burns
When the lesson it returns, but the lesson is still unlearned
See, I yearn to discern if a life can be earned or is given as a gift to the dead
See, I read and I bled and I fed to the full my soul on the sickest of sickness
Seeking the light of a saviors witness, a way that one day that I might forget this
But slave master wont permit this
Cause I’m a hooker I’m his mistress
And when I look for freedom he puts more chains on me
Strangles my hope so that I live like a zombie
What master's house can this be, that when I look for freedom he still deceives me?
What master's house can this be, that when I look for freedom he still deceives me?
If there’s a God I screamed, “Answer me!”
I didn’t expect an answer to be received, Oh no.....
But He received me!
He said
You must die, to be set free, living in the kingdom of God eternally
Open up my eyes so that I could see, and die with a cry revolutionary
Every man and woman is a witness, and we will never forget this
Truth
Undiluted, undisputed, never to be substituted, or uprooted, fully suited for the war
It’s a modernization of a timeless metaphor, and
By the boomerang we bring the beats back more
What for man, do we work exterior to core, or begin this in the spirit of the Lord
Now you could pull the chord, but the people still sing it acapella
Marching to the beat I hear their feet are in the cellar
Fear not the world cannot stop what must begin within you and me
Fire wind, holy hymn, beautiful diadem, hidden within, dyed in
Every colors broken down, harmonize with my eyes spectrum
In the end bleeding into the source, to the wonderful Father of Lights
All the pressure and pain, produces perseverance
Purged by the flames, without interference
Produces a hope, In the glory of God
My God, I am your son, and I know that you will finish the work that you’ve begun
Homespun, grassroots, spontaneously suits the purpose, and we don’t deserve this
Life
He gives life!
You must die to be set free, living in the kingdom of God eternally
Open up my eyes so that I could see, and die with the cry revolutionary
Every man and woman is a witness, and we will never forget this
Truth
You must die to be set free, living in the kingdom of God eternally
Open up my eyes so that I could see, and die with the cry revolutionary
Every man and woman is a witness, and we will never forget this
Truth

Today—embedded below—is a video of Callie and Lan Wilson performing, I Know The Lord Will Make A Way, in 2014.
Callie Day And Lan Wilson (Screen Grab From The Video Below)
Callie is an anointed and inspiring singer, and Lan is both an amazing singer and piano player—and their exuberant performance (that appears to be a spontaneous and improvised) is such a Blessing to see and hear.
I pray their music will fill your heart with God's Comfort, Healing, Hope, and Love!
"Mercy Ships is an international faith-based organization using hospital ships to deliver free, world-class health care services, capacity building and sustainable development in the developing world. Mercy Ships provides direct medical services to those in need and holistic support to developing nations striving to make healthcare accessible for all.
Lack of access to safe surgery is killing more people per year than TB, malaria and HIV/AIDS combined. And although 315 million surgeries are performed globally each year, less than 6% of these are done in low and middle-income countries. The result is that people become disabled, lives are destroyed, and medical problems that could easily be treated such as appendicitis, hernia, fractures, obstructed labor, and congenital anomalies become deadly.
Mercy Ships is
responding to this with a two pronged approach by recruiting
volunteers to meet the direct medical and surgical needs of the poor
while at the same time building the capacity of local health care
systems, through training and infrastructure projects, to meet the needs
of their patients after the ship has sailed.
Your
donation has a huge impact in helping children and adults suffering
from facial tumors, cleft lips, blindness, club feet, and more. In fact,
your gift multiplies in value thanks to our dedicated volunteers—who
donate their time and pay their own way—and thanks to donations from
generous corporate partners."
He'll make a way
For me and for you
I know the Lord
He will see you through
I know the Lord
Will make a way
Oh! Yes he well
Hallelujah!
Lan Wilson:
I know the Lord Will make a way Yes! He will
Said, I go to God
In secret prayer
I leave all of my burdens there
I know the Lord Will make a way Yes! He will
Yes, He will! Yes, He will! Yes, He will! Yes, He will!
I know the Lord Will make a way Yes! He will
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
I know the Lord He'll make a way
Yes! He will
