"The truth of Christ speaks to every aspect of our situations. It rewrites the script of our soul." - David Powlison

Gospel lyrics + music that fits the words = tears…

That has always been the formula that works for me. Old standards such as “And Can it Be” and “Man of Sorrows.” A choir on full tilt singing “Ode to Joy.” Contemporary worship songs such as “Be Ye Glad.” Most anything by the Soweto Gospel choir. And most anything sung at my local church. I hear these songs and I am pointed to Christ. I get glimpses of joy, even when life is hard.

Some of these songs I am sure will be sung in heaven.
