This quote had been going through my mind during a time of much difficulty.
It brings to mind the passages from the Psalms regarding being under God’s wings.
“I will say of the LORD, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust. Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler….” Ps. 91:2-4
Incredible thoughts!!
Song:
“He Keeps Me Singing”
Written by Luther Bridgers
Where to find:
Many hymnals contain this song (e.g. Majesty Hymns #477 Rejoice Hymns #541)
In preparation for the time of year when many churches have a greater focus on Christ’s death and resurrection, the following are several songs that are immense in meaning concerning the death or resurrection of Christ.
Not My Will (Majesty Hymns #408)
Deals with Christ choosing not to follow His own will, but the Father’s.
Incredible reflection on the Scripture passage as well as excellent reminder for our lives in choosing God’s will over our own desires.
At the moment, maybe that describes how you are feeling. Yes, you know God is in control, yet humanly speaking, you are feeling overwhelmed.
Or perhaps in reflecting on current events, you feel burdened about what is occurring in the world.
However, as the song continues, it emphasizes a focus upon Jesus. Then and only then “I find His grace sufficient.” Our perspective is truly vastly different when our eyes are directed to Christ! (“Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.” I Pet. 5:7)
The second verse is what I would like to focus upon next.
“I will seek for souls in darkness . . .”
– it is a challenging quote!

We are thick in the midst of missions’ conference season. Perhaps you are searching for a missions-based song.
As such, I could see this beneficial as a missions song.
This is one of those songs that touches my heart. It provides encouragement as well as prodding to be steadfast (I Cor. 15:58) I think you likewise will find this song beneficial in your life and ministry opportunities.
Joe Zichterman has also written other songs such as “A Passion for Thee” and “Be an Example.” Both of these likewise have phenomenal, godly messages.
