I think I’ve shared this song before but with the amount of laundry and housework stuff I did this week, I thought I’d play it again!

Then Sings My Soul – June 19, 2010

I asked my cousin to play and sing this song at my wedding in 2000.  This song is a major part of my memory of that day.

Today our friends, M M and D L, are getting married!  I am so excited!  My hubby is part of the wedding party.  It’s been a busy few days.  I wish them all the happiness I can imagine.  I pray that God blesses their marriage beyond their wildest imaginings!

Then Sings My Soul - Who I Am

It's not very deep, but it's a good song.  And a good reminder.  Be who you are!  Strive to be better, but know and be who you are.

Then Sings My Soul

When my two oldest were the only two we had, I used to sit with them until they both fell asleep.  Very often I would sing this lullaby a million times (or so it felt).  I don't take the time to sit with the littlest ones anymore.  Maybe I should start again.

Thank you, Lord.  Thank you for creating people who can write, who can sing, and who can play such wonderful music and bring me and others to an almost immediate state of worship!

Then Sings My Soul - We Need To Let HIM Take The Wheel

We've had a good but rough year. We don't know why; we don't know the lesson we are supposed to learn. We don't know if we've got it yet! Things seem(ed) to be looking up. J has a job. We have a vehicle. The kids are learning lots. And then after a good day in town visiting friends, the motor overheated in my bus. I don't know what I would have done, if J hadn't been with us. We ended up having to call the tow truck. While we waited we were getting colder and colder.

However, we were prepared - we had warm clothes and a snack. We had gentlemen stop that were able to keep the traffic going around us. One truck was a work truck that had flashing lights!

And yet at the time, all I could think was, "GOD, WHY??? Why this? Why now? We are just getting on our feet! I thought it was our turn!" Well, once we got home and I got the kids settled and supper made, I got really thinking about the day.

We had a great day visiting with friends. J was with me and I didn't have to deal with it alone. We almost made it home. It could have been a worse issue than what it ended up being. The tow truck owner's wife came and picked up the kids and me! She brought us all home while J waited with the tow truck. We are so blessed with friends here that the situation was made less intense by their kindness.

I truly believe that God has the wheel of our lives and that my dh and I are following HIS will for our family. I believe that whatever comes our way - like me being without a vehicle again or this new baby that's growing in me - God is in control. I believe that He is giving us what He wants us to have. I believe that God is causing us to grow and to be more like His Son. I am excited about that! I am excited to be a better mom, a better wife, a better person. I am excited to see what God will continue to put on our plate. I am anxiously waiting to see what He has in store for me to continue to grow and to serve Him.

The incident this week with the bus was just one of those things that reminded me to continue to leave the wheel in HIS very very capable hands! Here's a song sung by Carrie Underwood.

Then Sings My Soul - Vocal Union

I have always loved a cappella groups. I listened to an a cappella station on Live 365 until I was hearing the same songs over and over again. So this afternoon when I went looking for a song to post for Then Sings My Soul, I went looking for an a cappella group. Well, I found Vocal Union. Hearing these men's voices calms my spirit and my heart. I hope you will give it a listen. Enjoy the amazing amazing harmony. God is good to create such beauty for us to hear.

Then Sings My Soul - In Christ Alone

I cry every time I sing this song. It is so powerful! So simple. I can't help but get to a state of worship.

The last verse, last two lines. They get me every time!

"Till He returns, or calls me home Here in the power of Christ I stand."


Here are all the lyrics:

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

Then Sings My Soul - Sounds Like Life To Me

Here are the words:
(taken from here)

Got a call last night from an old friend’s wife
Said I hate to bother you
Johnny Ray fell off the wagon
He’s been gone all afternoon
I know my buddy so I drove to Skully’s
And found him at the bar
I say hey man, what’s going on
He said I don’t know where to start

Sarah’s old car’s about to fall apart
And the washer quit last week
We had to put momma in the nursing home
And the baby’s cutting teeth
I didn’t get much work this week
And I got bills to pay
I said I know this ain’t what you wanna hear
But it’s what I’m gonna say

(Chorus)
Sounds like life to me it ain’t no fantasy
It’s just a common case of everyday reality
Man I know it’s tough but you gotta suck it up
To hear you talk you’re caught up in some tragedy
It sounds like life to me

Well his face turned red and he shook his head
He said you don’t understand
Three kids and a wife depend on me
And I’m just one man
To top it off I just found out
That Sarah’s 2 months late
I said hey bartender set us up a round
We need to celebrate

(Chorus)
Sounds like life to me plain old destiny
Yeah the only thing for certain is uncertainty
You gotta hold on tight just enjoy the ride
Get used to all this unpredictability
Sounds like life

Man I know its tough but you gotta suck it up
To hear you talk you’re caught up in some tragedy
Sounds like life to me
Sounds like life

Life; that's just the way it goes. Suck it up and let's get on with it.

A friend of mine showed me this video early this week; I was having a tough time getting and staying motivated. I was having a bit of a rough day. This song was just what I needed for a pick-me-up.

I watched this part of this movie last night. I wish I could have watched the whole thing, but J just wasn't into it (not big on musicals).



What a great movie!

Then Sings My Soul - An Oldie

You gotta love Fred Astaire. I remember there was a season in my mom's life when she would set the vcr to tape in the middle of the night when CBC (I think) would play the old old old black and white movies. I remember how very disappointed she was when the taping didn't happen just right and she'd miss a portion of the program. Then after school or on the weekends we would watch these movies. The boys weren't all that into it, but we were. Many of those movies had Fred Astaire in them!

I remember one particular movie that she never taped over and by the time I left home the tape was worn out from us watching it over and over. I just spent the last 20 minutes searching for it online. It is called Kitty and was made in 1945 starring Goddard as Kitty. I'd love to see that video again.
