Spiritual Songs: "Word of God Speak" by MercyMe

I didn't realize how big of a fan of MercyMe I was until some friends took us to see them in concert. I found myself singing along to nearly every song. There music reflects heartfelt worship. The song, "Word of God Speak," expresses the longing every believer feels when they are studying the Word of God. As we read the Word, we find ourselves longing for understanding and direction. I like how it drives the listener to wait upon God. I hope you enjoy it.

Spirtual Songs: "Homesick" by MercyMe

Grief is a part of reality for all people whether they believe in Jesus or not. All of us have lost someone who was near and dear to us, and most of us still grieve that loss. MercyMe's song, "Homesick," captures both sides of Christian grief. It capture the mourning and the hope that accompanies it.

In Christ, believers have a reason for hope. Death is not the end. For those in Christ, absence from the body means they will be in Christ's presence. The sometimes heartbreaking, gut-wrenching pain we endure in this life serves to remind us that this world isn't our home. No matter how wonderful things are here and now, we have a greater home waiting.

When I listen to this song, I stirs the sadness that rests in my heart. It helps me to touch my own grief, to remember what I have lost. But it doesn't leave me there. Even as it touches my grief, it lifts my soul upward. It drives my heart heavenward, and reminds me that Jesus is my hope and my home. It has been a balm to my soul in times of need, I hope it will encourage you as well. Enjoy.

Spiritual Songs: "Bring the Rain" by MercyMe

Evil is an ever present reality in our world. Because evil exists, some have concluded that a good God cannot exist. However, God's goodness is visible even in the heartaches and hardships of life. Just because we cannot imagine a reason compelling enough for the existence of pain, doesn't mean that there isn't a reason. It simply means that we have limited understanding of the world and its workings.

When people say, "If God was good, this event wouldn't have happened!" Does one negative experience, or even a million negative experiences for that matter, actually erase the countless blessings we experience everyday? If we are blessed, yet fail to recognize it, does that remove the blessing? Do we actually deserve every good thing that happens in our life?

This song deals with the problem of pain. It encourages trust in the faithfulness of God. It calls for us to bravely embrace the path God has for us, whether the going is easy or tough. Suffering is part of the Christian life.  This song is a heart cry for God to be glorified in our lives. Do you yearn for God to be glorified in your life? Then, trust him when he brings the rain.  Enjoy the video:
