A Modern Gospel Hymn to Lift your Spirits

I am loving this song lately – all about God’s power and letting go of fear. Come for the uplifting message, stay for the beautiful music.

Lyrics

I was stacking up the years I spent trading punches with the enemy
Built myself a double thick stone
Tower of lies, higher than the eye could see
Trapped in my flesh and bone
Crying out to You Lord, I’m desperate
Love, come rattle this cage and set me free

All of my fears like Jericho walls
Gotta come down, come down
All of my fears like Jericho walls
Gotta come down, come down
Oh Lord, my prison turns to ruin
When Your love moves in
All of my fears like Jericho walls
Gotta come down, come down, come down

Truth was crashing through the pride and the blame
Cutting straight into the heart of me
Long before I ever called your name
You were fighting for my victory
Carved in Your flesh and bone
Are wounds that have said my souls forgiven
Oh now, I can feel the darkness trembling

All of my fears like Jericho walls
Gotta come down, come down
All of my fears like Jericho walls
Gotta come down, come down
Oh Lord, my prison turns to ruin
When Your love moves in
All of my fears like Jericho walls
Gotta come down, come down, come down

Rebuild me from the ground up
All I wanna see is You
Terrify the lies with truth

All of my fears like Jericho walls
Gotta come down, come down
All of my fears like Jericho walls
Gotta come down, come down
Oh Lord, my prison turns to ruin
When Your love moves in
All of my fears like Jericho walls
Gotta come down, come down, come down

All of my fears gotta come down
Jericho walls
Gotta come down, come down, come down

A Gentle Push

After working in a job I loved for 10 years, the rug was pulled from under me when they closed. Afterwards, I worked several contract assignments but couldn’t find anything as satisfying.  When my husband and I chatted about opening a virtual assistant business, I thought over the possibilities and decided to run with it.

The hard part was actually starting. I had sought the advice of others, and I kept floundering. This was something I had never done before and I was scared about taking a chance. I mean, what if I failed?

One morning, as I headed out for some errands, I thought ‘maybe I should write out my game plan’. At that moment I felt a shove on my shoulder. It was God, telling me ‘get on with it’. I immediately turned around, went home, and drew up my plan. I started my business the next day. It’s been going strong since then.

With God

I have been here always

Since the beginning of the universe.

My spirit, my spark has always been alive,

Otherwise I wouldn’t be here.

In everything I’ve been through,

Hell and high water,

I have prayed and had faith in God, 

To be warm, dry, comfortable, and alive.

– Von Helwig
