I love the words to this song. This song reminds me of the verse:
Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Oh Lord I come with heart here open,
For in my hour of darkness I may be.
Seeking the joy of love unspoken
Oh Lord be Thou near to me.
And the holy voices sing “Hallelu!”
Ever will Thy reign be.
As I wander through this life,
Oh Lord, be Thou near to me.
Though In this burden of my making
Yet in the shadows still a light I see
Maker whose love is not forsaking
Oh Lord be Thou near to me
And the holy voices sing “Hallelu!”
Ever will Thy reign be.
As I wander through this life,
Oh Lord, be Thou near to me.
And the holy voices sing “Hallelu!”
Ever will Thy reign be.
As I wander through this life,
Oh Lord, be Thou near to me.
I ran across this on a couple of blogs I visited and just love this idea that Amy over at Signs, Miracles, and Wonders has come up with. Here’s what she says…
“I think you are going to love this! The instructions are easy. Just write a post on your blog about a song. It can be a song that has spoken to your heart during a difficult time… a song that brings back a special memory… a song that makes you want to sing along to the top of your lungs… a song that makes you glad… a song that makes you want to dance… a song that has inspired you… a song that makes you feel like the words were written just for you… a song that makes your soul sing.
You can include the lyrics or maybe include the You Tube video. After you write the post, come back here and link your post to Mr. Linky at the bottom of the page. Then you can come back and read about all the other songs and stories that are posted. I’m sure many of you love to worship through music and feel like God speaks to you through the words of songs just like I do. I can’t wait to hear all of your stories about it :)”
Now isn’t that a great idea! Here’s my song for this week…
Sanctus (Holy)
In earth and heaven there is none like you (Sanctus, Sanctus).
None worthy to ascend Your throne and rule (Sanctus, Sanctus).
Righteous and mighty King, saints and angels join to sing. (Sanctus, Sanctus) Rex tremendae majestitis, rex excelsis Gloria, Gloria, Sanctus.
Savior, You’re the perfect, spotless lamb (Sanctus, Sanctus).
My every breath is given by Your hand (Sanctus, Sanctus).
You reign with power on high – we fall before you and we cry (Sanctus, Sanctus). Rex tremendae majestitis, rex excelsis Gloria, Gloria, Sanctus.
With reverence and with fear with trembling lips – Lord we draw near singing
Holy, Holy, King of awesome majesty, King of highest glory, glory, Sanctus glory.
I just love this song. It is so appropriate for this Easter weekend. I couldn’t find a video on it but you can hear a sample here.
