Gotta Keep Singin'

I have a CD player in my car and I have about a 25 mile commute to work everyday... for those of you who are use to rush hour traffic, 25 miles = an hour and a half in your world. In my world, 25 miles = 25 minutes. But normally, I put a CD in and it is in my CD player for about 2 - 3 weeks... mostly because I have forgotten how great the actual CD is and I haven't listened to it in about 7 or 8 months... that and I am lazy and it takes too much effort to unzip my CD case and change CD's. Well recently, I have been listening to Mercy Me's Undone CD. There is song I have never listened to because, when I first skipped through all the songs after unwrapping the CD and listening to the first 10-15 seconds of each song, I never gave it a chance. The song is a perfect song for those of us who are going through struggles or tough times... and we all do at one time or another. Suzy from Faith in Florida has crossed my mind when I have listened to this song... (I wish that I could say that I prayed for you when you crossed my mind during this song, but honestly, I didn't... but I WILL lift you up in prayer today.) Anyway... at other times, it has reminded me of my situation at work... and how unsatisfied I am. It has brought a bright spot to my day this last few days and I usually start with it when I jump in the car. It changes my perspective immediately.

Another rainy day...
I can't recall, having sunshine on my face...

All I feel is pain...
All I wanna do, is walk out of this place...

But when I am stuck, I can't move.
When I don't know what I should do...
When I wonder if I'll ever make it through...

I gotta keep singin'.
I gotta keep praising Your name.
You're the one that's keeping my heart beating.

I gotta keep singin'
I gotta keep praising Your name.
That's the only way that I'll find healing.

Can I climb up in Your lap?
I don't wanna leave!
Jesus sing over me.

I gotta keep singin'
Oh You're everything I need...
And I gotta keep singing...

It's a great song and it gives me a great opportunity to praise the One who not only showers us with blessings, but sends us struggles and trials to refine us and draw us close to him. If you haven't heard the song... it is worth the $15.00 to buy the cd. Go buy it. You won't regret it. Tell them Ben sent you and you will get an additional 15% off.

Okay... no you won't... they will just look at you funny.
But BUY the cd.
