Sang a new song last week at Metro. ‘You Never Let Go’ by Matt Redman. What an awesome song, they have been playing it all week on MUZ. Go Jon and Rhonda! I didn’t know Matt Redman sang it. If you know me and my music, I hear a song, I like a song, I find out who sings it, I buy it. Not kidding. Love music. I can only carry a tune while the CD is in my hand. So I was going to buy it, and I thought, maybe it’s on that new Passion CD I got. YUP! Gotta love the whole Passion movement thingy. Chris Tomlin (WHEW!), David Crowder, Charlie Hall, Matt Redman. Every song is better than the next.

This song… blows me away. Like… I don’t know. It just does.

God is with us through the good, the bad, and the ugly. And no matter what happens, it’s all for His glory! All of it. To make us better, stronger, and joyous. Better. So one day when we are with Him, we will be ready.

It’s that Perfect love that Matt talks about. Casting out my fears, putting Matthew 28 in my head. Knowing that God will take care of me. He’s never let me down before, and He’s not going to start now.

No matter what happens, I will never turn away from God. I’ve learned that when the storm comes, He’s the best umbrella ever. When things are at their best, when we say “thanks, God, for loving me” it seems the sun is a little warmer, a little brighter.

Thanks God, for giving Matt the words of my heart to sing to You.

Psalm 40:3 He has put a new song in my mouth. Praise to our God.

You Never Let Go – Matt Redman

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I'm caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won't turn back
I know You are near

And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?

Chorus:
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me

And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We'll live to know You here on the earth

Chorus:

Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You
