Words wither and blogs fade away…
Forgive me if you’ve heard this song before, but I've decided to stop blogging at He is Sufficient. I truly appreciate all of the wit, wisdom and words of faith that you have shared with me over the past few years. I wish you well in all of your endeavors, whatever they may be and wherever they may lead you. “God is sufficient for the needs of His people”. Amen!

SoD: “Indescribable”
Indescribable
Lyrics by Laura Story and Jesse Reeves. Recorded by Chris Tomlin.
From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation’s revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You [...]

Here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that You’re my God
You’re altogether lovely
Altogether worthy,
Altogether [...]

The verses of this popular liturgical song are a resetting of Psalm 91, with the chorus drawing on other source texts (see below). To the best of my knowledge, it has most commonly been used as a funeral or memorial service song, with the chorus’ language echoing images of heavenly regeneration.

SoD: “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”
This “song of the day” was inspired by a post on Kevin Sam’s blog, Word Alone, about Hebrews 12:1-2 and how we need to look away from everything that distracts us from Jesus and refocus or re-fix our eyes on Him.

SoD: “Adonai”
Adonai
Lyrics and music by Stephanie Lewis, Lorraine Ferro, and Don Koch
One single drop of rain
Your salty tear became blue ocean
One tiny grain of sand turning in your hand
A world in motion
You’re out beyond the furthest Morning Star
Close enough to hold me in Your arms
Adonai, I lift up my heart and I cry
My Adonai
You are the [...]

SoD: “Shelter House”
In looking back at Psalm 91, I saw the phrase “the shelter of the Most High” in verse 1 and was immediately reminded of the song “Shelter House” sung by Darlene Zschech and Hillsong Music.

Into the shelter house I go,
Where the Spirit of God will flow.
And I rest in [...]
