The Song My Soul Needs

January 27, 2014

Sometimes my soul needs a song. And recently, “Last Word” is on my list of favorites. Its message is one that lifts me above what I’m facing and recalibrates me to the reality that Jesus always has the last word.

Today you may be facing a hard circumstance… a diagnosis, a break-up, a financial hardship, a rejection, a loss, or a loved one making choices that seem devastating.

I pray this song and the story behind it blesses you deeply. (For those of you reading this through e-mail, click here to watch the video.)

“Last Word” is from Elevation Church’s new worship CD, “Only King Forever.” Today, I’m giving away copies to 10 commenters who let me know what their favorite worship song is. (To download the album on iTunes, click here.)

    My favorite worship song? That is so incredibly hard to say! I write a faith post on Sundays on my blog entitled Simple Gift Sunday and I include a worship video that I love. One of my favorites at the moment is I Surrender by Hillsong.

    My niece and family attended Elevation when they lived in Belmont and Gene Lakey (on staff) was our pastor in Greensboro for a short time. I’m also doing the online study for Made to Crave and I’m an adoptive and bio mom as well. Hope to meet you in person one day and tell you how much you’ve blessed me!

      My favorite depends on how the Spirit moves me that day, like many, but one that never fails is one that I can not remember the title of, but my favorite part is this: “Take joy, my King, in what you hear. May it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear”. I love that part because I honestly can not carry a tune in a bucket. But I know that God loves me anyway. Enjoy your day! Love your messages.

    Blessed be your name comes to mind as one I really like. It’s really hard it depends on how things are going. The Lord always seems to have just the right song come on the radio or in worship at church. I just lost my dad this week and things with my sister are tough right now. I’m grieving the loss of expectations we had as a family. This was timely right now.

Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander, and my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Savior! And I will call upon Your name. And keep my eyes above the waves.

    “Blessed be Your Name”… Seth first moved in utero during that song at worship (well, first time I felt him move i should say) and while pregnant with him the “on the road marked with suffering” line rang painfully true.. and we sang it at Seth’s memorial service to remind us that He gives and takes away and Blessed is HIs name.

    “Beautiful” by MercyMe is great! I haven’t heard all of “Last Word”, yet. I heard Wade Joye’s overview of “Last Word”. He said their daughter, Sydney has Cystic Fibrosis. I just finished reading, “God Bless These Little Legs” by Lisa Sexton & Tyler Sexton, MD. Tyler has Cerebral Palsy. The book is wonderful!! When Tyler was in college working on his doctorate degree he discovered a young boy with CP who was quadroplegic. Tyler raised funds to get him and his mother flown to the US to have surgery so that he could walk! It was a success!!! Tyler is now a doctor helping kids with difficulties.

    Thank you for this message and having the song title to share. I am going to a healing conference for wives of sex addicts in Texas. Just found out about it. Just decided to go this morning. I have stayed with a “recovering” sex addict who says, “I am sexually broken and do not want healing” and whose anger is over the top.. I have stayed with him off and on for 28 years (married, divorced, re-married, separated, re-united). I continue to pray for him. My favorite song is “You are My Hiding Place”. I am finally making plans to live alone . It am breathing this morning. My Abba loves me Thank you for your love, Lysa. My Abba loves me unconditionally and says, “You have been faithful.

    When I came to believe in Jesus several years ago, worship music fed my soul. I listened to Michael W. Smith’s album, Worship, almost non-stop and cried almost non-stop. I love worship songs and there are so many that are dear to me. So, like the others, it’s hard to pin it down to just one song. But, for today I’d have to say my favorite is “This Is Amazing Grace” by Phil Wickham.

    I Can Only Imagine by Mercy Me. When my husband, age 41, was diagnosed with cancer, our world changed overnight. One day when I was driving him to an appointment, this song came on the radio and he started crying, which is the first time I really saw him break down and cry. He passed in May 2006.

    Whenever that song comes on, I remember my brave and loving Jeff, and know he is free from cancer and rejoicing with Jesus.

    Thank you for posting about this song. I love it! I would have to say my favourite worship song is the old hymn “It is well”. It was my Grandma’s favourite and every time I sing it I think of her and the incredible legacy she left. It’s amazing how even a few years after her passing, there are still times when I forget for a second and think of something I want to ask her or share with her, usually something about my walk with Jesus. But whenever I sing this song I am brought to tears, remembering that through all her struggles, especially toward the end of her life, she glowed with the light of Jesus and faced every trial knowing it was well with her soul. What a beautiful life!

    My canyon of transgressions,

    I wrestle with this world around me, 
    I forge the chains that hold me down
    But it was your love, a dead world’s pardon
    You gave it all, you gave for me

    I’m falling into your love overwhelming, 
    I’m falling into your grace
    I’m falling in where my heart knows no wrong
    I’m falling into you

    To you my life I will surrender, 
    Surrender heart, mind, flesh and soul
    Reveal to me, reveal your calling, 
    It is your will I long to know.

    My favorite worship song is not one that is really new, but it does help me voice my how I feel. It’s “When I Don’t Know What To Do” by Tommy Walker. Dues to some overwhelming situations in our family, sometimes I just don’t know what to day or what to do. When I hear this song I can focus my thoughts on the One who knows what I’m feeling and where I’m at. When a circumstance arises, almost without exception, one of the lines from this song pops into my mind. Thank you for allowing the opportunity to share.

    I cannot say it is my “favorite” song, but a song that has a whole lot more meaning to me is “I WILL WAIT”. I heard it for the first time when suffering depression, I didn’t care much for it. However, as I got better, the song took on a more positive meaning, “on HIS time, not ours!” I absolutely LOVE that song now!

    WOW…this really spoke to my heart this morning. I am in a constant battle with my 12 yr old step son & this morning was no different. Just when I think I can’t take one more day I hear this & I’m reminded that God is in control & He is going to have the last word! Thank you so much for sharing this Lysa!

    Powerful song my mother has had several close calls with her health and I prayed to God and He reminded me he is the Great Physician. She is still with me but she has had several heart attacks I’m truly thankful, We could be here today but gone tomorrow time is valuable and love is a MUST to everyone.

    “Oceans” by Hillsong encouraged my faith last summer as I went back in to critical care nursing after having been gone from my profession for several years. As I listened to it over and over in the car my oldest daughter (9) told me she felt God telling her it was time to be baptized (she had been nervous bc we go to a big church). So this song will always be special to me for both those reasons.

    The song I Will Praise You In This Storm has encouraged me and strengthened me when I didn’t think I could make it through the day. I sang it or thought it continuously through the days when that was all I could do. Our Father brought me through the storm. He never left my side!

    ohhhh…. to pick a favorite is hard. But one that I listen to over and over is Phil Wickham’s “This is Amazing Grace”.
    This is amazing grace
    This is unfailing love
    That You would take my place
    That You would bear my cross
    You would lay down Your life
    That I would be set free
    Jesus, I sing for
    All that You’ve done for me

    Our family has been in a season of trials as our baby boy was born with high diaphragms and a muscle weakness called hypotonia. He is sick often and is susceptible to being in respiratory distress. It has seemed like we roll from one emergency to the next. But my one sweet comfort has been in the presence of my Lord… He does indeed have the ‘last word’ over all the situations we face that look in favor of the enemy’s victory.

    The worship song that has blessed me most recently is called ‘Alive In Us’ by Hillsong. The best part is the bridge – a confident declaration, “The enemy is under Your feet. We are free. We are free. Death has been defeated by love. You overcome. You overcome.”

    The victory is His. 🙂 Thanks for being you and sharing such genuine and encouraging faith with us.

    It’s one by River Valley Church in MN. The words of the chorus:
    “Let faith rise up, in Jesus’ name.
    “Let the walls fall down as You draw nearer to us.
    “You are the Living God.
    “Let Hope abound, and break our chains.
    “Let healing come as You draw nearer to us.
    “You are the Living God.”

    I reminds me of our two children I lost in miscarriage, why I named them Hope and Faith, and to look to God, the Living God, for hope, faith, freedom, and healing.

    This is a beautiful song, thank you for sharing. I love so many songs but one I find I cling to right now as I work through the hurt of rejection is How He Loves me but David Crowder.
    He is jealous for me,
    Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
    Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
    When all of a sudden,
    I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
    And I realise just how beautiful You are,
    And how great Your affections are for me.

    And oh, how He loves us oh,
    Oh how He loves us,
    How He loves us all

    He is jealous for me,

    And I realise just how beautiful You are,
    And how great Your affections are for me.

    Oh how he loves,
    Yeah, He loves us,
    Oh! how He loves us,
    Oh! how He loves us,
    Oh! how He loves.

    And we are His portion and He is our prize,
    Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
    If His grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.
    And Heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss,
    And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
    I don’t have time to maintain these regrets,
    When I think about, the way…

    Oh, how He loves us oh,
    Oh how He loves us,
    How He loves us all
    How He loves

    Yeah, He loves us,
    Oh! how He loves us,

And the other is my all time favorite and it’s Amazing Grace. I love that song. When my son was first born (He’s almost 2), I would sing that song to him and it was the only thing that quieted him down. Even now, when I sing it to him, he’ll settle down. It was the also that song that we played at my Father-in-law’s funeral and it’s very special.

    My favorite worship song is “In Christ Alone”. I sang this song one evening as part of a worship set for a small group of first time believers. I am NOT a worship leader by any stretch of the imagination but there was a need and I felt God calling me out of my comfort zone. I spoke a few words before starting the song about how the word “Hope” is actually both a verb and a noun and that I felt God was telling me that I needed to have “Active” Hope in him so I shared that with the group. Afterwards a young women came up to me and told me that she was touched by my words and by the song of which I told her that it was all God as I was just following God’s leading.

    Oceans (Where Feet May Fall) by Hillsong. The Acoustic version was sung in our church and I felt as if I glimpsed heaven. It spoke to my hurting, grieving heart. Music does that…especially praise music…speaks when our words can’t. It is our praise, our prayers, our longings. God calls us all out upon the water…as He did Peter, at some point in our walk with Him, often more than once. We will ALWAYS find GOD there in the mystery as this song says.

    This video brought me to tears. My brother was diagnosed with a brain tumor a year & a half ago at the age of 29. My husband & I had been burdened about his salvation prior to the diagnosis & even more so after. It was a long road & there were several very scary times but praise The Lord that HE is the last Word. It is finished. My brother accepted Christ just last week! He’s being baptized feb 9. What Satan intended for harm, The Lord turned into good.

    Lysa, My very favorite song is by Building 429 and It is “Not Home Yet”. I have heard it a thousand times and it inspires me, lifts me and gives me goode bumps every time I hear it still.

    My favorite worship song is by Kari Jobe, “The More I Seek You”. It brings me to the feet of God and places me in his lap, with His arms around me. This reminds me of my grandpa, who died when I was 12. I used to sit in his lap with his arms wrapped around me and I felt so safe and secure.

    Hi Lisa,

    It is so difficult to choose just one, but today … my choice would be, “What Love Is This,” by Kari Jobe. I help lead our Worship Team at my church, and this song always moves me to tears. It’s not just Kari’s beautiful voice, but the lyrics that impact my heart and soul. For our Abba Father is indeed – never changing, taking away our pain … and leads us to the Cross. He is … enough for me. Blessed be.

    Lysa, I love that song that you shared. Wow, what a great reminder. How often we forget that God is always watching us, and most of the time we look at that as a negative thought, instead of a positive. Our God, is Always watching over us. Praise God!!! One of my favorite worship songs is, How Great Thou Art. I know its old school, but touches my heart every time.

    Praise music IS our strategic victory action. Straight from 2 Chronicles 20! The one song that helped me focus yesterday was Strong God, by Meredith Andrews. “Father to the fatherless. Defender of the weak. Freedom for the prisoner. We sing: God is in His holy place. This is God clothed in love and strength. Chorus: Sing out. Lift your voice and cry out. Awesome is our strong God. Mighty is our God. Sing out. Raise your hands and shout out. Awesome is our strong God. Mighty is our God….There is none higher. No. There is none greater. No. There is none stronger than our God!”

    I agree with the others, it’s hard to chose. But one that comes to mind, I find myself singing a lot is “Beautiful Things” by Michael Gungor. We sang it at a Justice Summit in Chicago last fall, and I could really picture beautiful things growing out of the hard concrete of the city. God always restores!

    Our God is Greater by Chris Tomlin. My son was the drummer in our praise and worship band when he was in highschool. Watching him worship his God with music really touched me. He so loved this song and so do I. When he left for college it was so hard to listen this song with another drummer playing. Then I listened to the words, God is stronger and with his help I realized that my son had moved to his next journey. He became the drummer in the SFA Wesley foundation praise band. Again, I was able to hear him praise his God with his music! God is good 🙂

    My favorite worship song is an old hymn: “It is Well with My Soul”. The words alone always touch affect me deeply, but when I remember the story behind those words, I am humbled, and my perspective about my own problems is adjusted.
    “When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,

    Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
    It is well, it is well, with my soul.”

    That’s a great song Lisa! One of my favorites is “Blessings” by Laura Story. That line “what if Your blessings come through raindrops…” is so true and has been true in my life. Going through a troubled marriage with physical & verbal abuse and divorce at such a young age (I was 26 when we separated & filed for divorce) left me weak and wondering why all of that happened in my life. But I found comfort in the Lord and felt my relationship with Him change in such a beautiful way. My blessings truly came through all of those raindrops, storms & thunders. I relate to that song, word for word.

    Blessings.

Also by Matt Redman is Your Grace Finds Me. Both songs I can’t just listen to, I have to sing along. Both are on my playlist.

    “Praise You In This Storm” by Casting Crowns – and at a very devastating moment in our lives, the Lord let me hear this song for the first time and I just broke down, because I felt that He was telling me that in that circumstance, He is right there with me – right there in the middle of it with me and I just need to hold on to Him – and He has been carrying me through it, while at the same time, strengthening my faith and trust in Him even if I can’t see the end just yet. And so, I thank God for bringing me to a deeper relationship with Him through this storm.

    Wow- this song is powerful! Thankful He does have the Last Word! Right now I am worshipping too and living by the song, “Never Once”- so much truth that in the hard times even with the struggles and the scars that I have—Never once has He ever let me down, left me or been unfaithful. He is forever faithful and I right now through out every day— tell Satan that my God is FAITHFUL!

    Only being able to share one worship song is so hard! Music is one of the greatest things I think we have and I’m so thankful for those that decided to answer God’s call and share their talent with us. Music really can change lives.

    Here are some of my favorites:
    Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) — Hillsong
    One Thing Remains — Kristian Stanfill (This is like my life’s anthem)
    This is Amazing Grace — Jeremy Riddle
    Holy (Wedding Day) — The City Harmonic
    Brokenness Aside — All Sons & Daughters

    Mornin’ Lysa!

    In all your ways acknowledge Him & He will direct your paths. Until recently I only thought of “my paths” in terms of the big things- where to go to college, who to marry, when to do we have children, do we relocate? However, as I grow in my relationship with Jesus I am becoming aware He has a path for me every day. Every blah Monday & random Tuesday has a path for me to follow. As a stay at home mom I started to recognize my “unglued” happens when I return home from taking my son to the bus stop. The dirty pan with dried oats is on the stove, the countertop nicely displays an open peanut butter jar, a banana peel, Pop-Tart wrappers, & cut off toast crusts. The dishwasher needs unloaded, the buzzer on the dryer is going off, the dog is circling my feet needing his walk, & I’m sure the baby’s diaper needs changed! This almost sounds silly because it’s not like any one of these “to-do’s” is that difficult, but when it feels like they all need done at the same time the great unglued begins to settle upon me. As we know, when we invite Jesus into any situation with us He shows up! So I’ve been inviting Him right into that little morning mess with me! I invite Him in with a quick prayer, but also with my current favorite praise song, Step By Step” by Michael W. Smith. Step by step Jesus show me the path You have for me today. Do I put the lid on the peanut butter first or walk the dog?? Would LOVE that Elevation CD to add to my praising!!!

    My favorite worship song is “I Will Praise You in this Storm” by Casting Crowns. In the last 3 years, I have been through cancer, a house fire in which my husband was badly burnt, and then 6 months ago, out of nowhere, my healthy husband collapsed an died of a massive heart attack from an undiagnosed defect. God has shown me over and over that He has the storm under control, my only job is to continue to praise him.

    Love Elevation Church & their worship! One of my favorite songs for the last several years is Priceless sung by Frontline Worship. Last night I just had one of those nights and kept it on repeat so it could play over and over helping me to be at peace on a restless night.

    I stay close to You,
    So close to You Lord.
    I find all I need
    So close to You
    Speak to me Jesus
    My heart is open
    Hearing your treasures and Your perceptions
    Lord, how can I please You
    You let me know
    If I would just sit and share a priceless moment with You.

    I think you’d love this song! Blessings!

    Hi Lysa – I have an old, old, old chorus that helps me focus on our wonderful Lord. It’s called “In His Time.” He has used this song over and over again when I am disheartened and losing courage in the battle of prayer in the spiritual realms for my oldest child. I awoke during the night from a frightening dream about him. This morning, I sing God’s Truth to my heart and trust Him that He has the last word in my life and those of each of my family members. His promise in my little chorus is that He makes all things beautiful in His time!

I was not full filled at the new job so I changed jobs again but the new job didn’t disclose to me all the requirements so I quite after a week of prayer and talking to family and friends I was driving home from this job I couldn’t stand and that song came on and I cried I had my answer I had to trust God and go with what I felt in my heart against all logic and quite.

    I often turn to Tamela Mann’s “Take me to The King” because it is a song of pain and sadness but also there is power behind her voice. She knows that she does not have much to offer but she gives it all to Him. She come to throne, and she does it alone which is also a challenge that I deal with often as a Christian. Often I worship alone, pray alone, but I know I am not alone. My Lord is always with me.

    I’m not posting to get a freebie…but I do want to share my favorite worship song. I’m currently reading “More than Just a Good Bible Study Girl” – and I’m seeing so much of myself in this book….

    My absolute favorite worship song is Revelation Song. Phillips, Craig & Dean do it – – but I actually prefer Kari Jobe’s version. I had this song played at my wedding – there was a lot of music included, as I’m a singer myself. I’ve loved this song since I first heard it a couple years back. But probably the top reason that this is a favorite of mine, is that not only can i do “regular” worship when singing, but a close friend (my Christ-sister) of mine taught me how to sign (sign-language) the song. Let me tell you – if you’ve never signed before, and especially a worship song…It puts a whole new meaning on the word WORSHIP!!! I feel the spirit take rest in my soul when I’m signing, I feel closer to the Lord, I feel the Holy Spirit moving thru me, and through the worship center of my church. Not only do I get something out of it…but when my Christ-sister, “MJ” and I sign during church, it is common for people to come up to us afterwards, wanting us to teach them also. It feels wonderful to connect to the Spirit in this way, and also cause others to want to connect on a different level as well.

    Thanks for taking the time to read my long(er) response.

Only God knows and I need to put my full trust In Him in every circumstance. So I come before Him with my Broken Hallelujah.

What I find amazing is that most of the instrumental and piano music that is played on this station is from church. All of our good ole presbyterian hymns!
    It turns out I seem to be listening to this station while the childen are not here!!!! There is no greater way to do housework while reflecting on The Lord.
