Blog Challenge #1

What song uplifts your spirit when things are down or when things are rough?

What a hard question!! I've been 'putting off' answering this blog challenge question from a friend. How can I pick just one?? Well, the one that keeps coming to mind is "How Can I Keep From Singing?" by Chris Tomlin. Here are a few of the lyrics:

There is an endless song
Echoes in my soul
I hear the music ring
And though the storms may come
I am holding on
To the rock I cling

How can I keep from singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your love
How can I keep from shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing

I will lift my eyes
In the darkest night
For I know my Savior lives
And I will walk with You
Knowing You'll see me through
And sing the songs You give

I can sing in the troubled times
Sing when I win
I can sing when I lose my step
And fall down again
I can sing 'cause You pick me up
Sing 'cause You're there
I can sing 'cause You hear me, Lord
When I call to You in prayer
I can sing with my last breath
Sing for I know
That I'll sing with the angels
And the saints around the throne


It always helps me to refocus my eyes on Him when I'm having a rough day. What I am going through pales in comparison to what my Lord did for me. How can I complain?
