chill and cold and flakes of snow, ice and sleet, frost and cold, each storm cloud and thunder bolt, lifts my mind to you, every work and every power, every second of every hour, fall of dew and sweet rain showers, lifts my mind to you, summer wind, fire and heat, autumn leaves and blooms of spring, ocean waves and mountain streams, lifts my mind to you<\/p>\n
i see you in every scene, i bet you are thinking about me, i have such a short memory so you keep reminding me of you<\/p>\n
as i lay me down to sleep, as i walk on city streets, as i laugh with friends and feast, it lifts my mind to you, as my children play and run, in the news with wars and guns, in the church where songs are sung, it lifts my mind to you, deep inside the beggar\u2019s eyes, as for sweet love i fight, on the radio at night, it lifts my mind to you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sometimes I’ll be listening to a song that I have listened to, and even sung, hundreds of times, but the words will hit me with a fresh realization of who God is.\u00a0 This happened recently with a song called “He Knows My Name.”\u00a0 Here are the words, followed by a video:<\/p>\n

\nand He hears me when I call<\/p>\n
I have a Father
\nHe calls me His own
\nHe’ll never leave me
\nNo matter where I go<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One of the ways that God touches my heart a lot of times is through song.\u00a0 Great worship songs that poetically express truth just really get to me. A song that I’ve recently grown to love is a new one by Charlie Hall, from his album The Bright Sadness.\u00a0 The chorus is very catchy, and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-92","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music","category-thoughts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.totheeast.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.totheeast.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.totheeast.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.totheeast.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.totheeast.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.totheeast.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.totheeast.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.totheeast.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.totheeast.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
