Song of the week: You Are My Refuge

 

"You Are My Refuge" was the final song on my 2000 CD Listen. It was written a few years prior (probably 1996) on a Saturday afternoon when I sat on the floor of the dining room of my apartment with the sunlight streaming in the windows with a guitar in my hands and my Bible open before me. The lyrics are inspired by Psalm 62. This song was sung both in youth group worship times as well as on Sunday mornings when I was the worship leader at my old church.

My soul finds rest in You alone
My salvation comes from You
You alone are my Rock
You are my fortress, I will not be shaken

I will trust in You, forevermore
I will pour my heart out to You
You are my refuge

One curious thing about "You Are My Refuge" that I wanted to share (for God's glory, of course), thanks probably to some automated playlist generator on Spotify, for about a week or so soon after its digital release, "You Are My Refuge" was getting over 100 streams a day... in Indonesia! I certainly didn't have much to do with that beyond releasing the song. If God wants to use my offering to bless believers halfway around the world, let Him be praised!

Song of the week: Rock My World

  "Rock My World" is the title cut from of my 4 song EP Rock My World (obviously). It was meant to be a full-on '80s arena rock jam. It is also inspired by the Great Commission . Rocking out and telling people about Jesus - what could be better? Verse There’s something that you need to hear,  something that you need to know When the power comes upon you,  you know that you need to go Go be witnesses in your own back yard Everywhere around the world, the gospel shall be heard Chorus Rock! My World! Rock! My World! Verse Every authority has been given to Christ our Lord Go to the nations, proclaim to them His holy word Go make disciples, teach them what you know God will be with you, everywhere you go Repeat chorus Bridge Behold I will be with you Even to the end of the age Behold I will be with you Even to the end of the age Repeat chorus Listen to it at the following links: Spotify Apple Music YouTube Music
