I've written about this song before (and this probably won't be the last time I write about it).
"The sun comes up it's a new day dawning, it's time to sing your song again, whatEVER may pass, and whatEVER lies before me... Let me be singing when the evening comes.
Bless the Lord O' my soul..."
Do you realize, while you're singing those words, the future of THAT day could hold something drastic in it? Your baby could die or your spouse. Some other loved one. You could be in a severe accident that leaves you paralyzed for life. You could find out someone close to you has cancer...
Will you be able to sing "bless the Lord" after something like that happens?
That song ALWAYS makes me think and I hope it makes you think too. Don't just follow along with the words...
It's hard for me to sing those words because I don't know what could happen at the end of any day. Trusting is hard. Even when you know God has a plan for it all. After your world has turned upside down you realize how anything can happen to anyone at anytime.
I've been there before and I have faith that if/when I'm ever there again these words will be brought to the front of my mind...
"Bless the Lord O' my soul,
O' my soul,
worship His holy name,
Sing like never before,
O' my soul,
I'll worship your holy name."
