"When the laughter fails to comfort
When my heart aches, Lord You'll be there
When confusion is all around me
And the darkness
is my closest friend
Still I'll praise You
Jesus praise You"-Tim Hughes
I thought this was a very interesting worship gathering on this video.
God's saints, (those whom He called to salvation in Christ), have the same Lord, and the same new heart, which our Savior made new in His baptism of death and Spirit (Romans6:4), but still have varying personalities. I don't connect with rap, for the most part. But I believe it surely can be a way that a Christian can express his, or her, love and adoration to the Lord Jesus Christ.
I do really like Tim Hughes though. He is one of my favorite composers of psalms and spiritual songs. And I like this particular song dealing with pain, sorrow, and dark times we have as Christians.
Not too many writers deal with the reality of pain we shall experience as followers of Christ.
So this song is uplifting and refreshing. And it actually helped me through one of my darkest paths a couple years ago.
"I've had questions without answers
I've known sorrow, I have known pain
But there's one thing that I cling to
You are faithful, Jesus You're true
When hope is lost
I call You Saviour
When pain surrounds
I call You Healer
When silence falls
You'll be the song within my heart
In the lone hour of my sorrow
Through the darkest night of my soul
You surround me, You sustain me
My defender for ever more"
