THIS IS MY TESTIMONY IN SONG
WE CRY OF
Here today and gone tomorrow, what does life all mean? “It is the great standing perennial problem to which human reason is as far from an answer as ever.” And if life is meaningless, is not then death meaningless also?
And of troubled thoughts and lonely hearts “A troubled heart can be found in anyone, even the Christian. There are many reasons for one’s heart to be troubled — separation from or death of a loved one, unfaithfulness of a friend, a feeling of insecurity, a lack of understanding, personal problems, sin, etc. What is one to do when his heart becomes troubled? He must look to Jesus and the comfort He can give”1.
But “In my trouble, I cried to the Lord, and HE ANSWERED ME” (Psalm 120:1).
BRIDGE BETWEEN WE CRY OF AND IN QUIET FAITHFULNESS
Took wings and went to heaven
Got saved, came back to earth
Although we really don’t take wings and go to heaven, and get saved and come back to earth, it is merely a figure of speech that shows one’s need to transcend our worldly life to a higher spiritual realm in which we meet Christ as our savior and lover. It is one’s faith in Christ that saves us from controlling our own destiny and prepares us to live In Quiet Faithfulness.
IN QUIET FAITHFULNESS
In this song segment, God has become my refuge safe and sure, my staff and rod in trouble, need, and stress. I am content, and in patience, I endure.
I therefore thank my God and love and serve Him still.
LYRICS
We Cry Of
Death and loneliness are
Terrible thoughts we cry of
Some say hell is here and
some may say it’s fire
Troubled thoughts and lonely hearts
creep upon us daily
Same old drag day by day
just passing away the hours
Here today and gone tomorrow
What does life all mean?
Bridge
Took wings and went to heaven
Got saved, came back to earth
Rescue me O Lord
Oh won’t you please please rescue me
Rescue me O Lord
Oh won’t you please please mend my heart
In Quiet Faithfulness
In quiet faithfulness I love and serve my God
In trouble, need, and stress, He is my Staff and Rod.
In God I am content, In patience I endure
In Him my house and I find refuge safe and sure.
Foes envy, hate, indeed, from those are never far
Who with their lot and God, content and happy are.
Still, there where envy’s flame with rage surpassing fumes,
It fain must come to pass that rage itself consumes.
I therefore thank my God and love and serve Him still;
What happens in this world must ever be God’s will.
In quiet faithfulness I love and serve my God
In trouble, need, and stress, He is my Staff and Rod
In God I am content, In patience I endure
In Him my house and I find refuge safe and sure.
I therefore thank my God and love and serve Him still;
What happens in this world must ever be God’s will.
I place in child-like trust my life into His care;
In God I am content, whate’er my sphere or share.
(Instrumental)
