God Thoughts depression, praise, sadness 1 Comment
I am often prone to dark mood swings, and in those times there are a few songs that really lift me up. As opposed to listening to music that further darkens my mood, I’ve been listening to praise music instead, and what an awesome transformation it makes! Instead of feeding the mood, I can overcome it by worship and prayer, and just abandoning and losing myself in God. So the lyrics to this song really speak to me, particularly “The art of losing myself in bringing you praise“… and it is an art! It’s so easy to just get swept up in the mood and the feelings, but for the past few months I’ve decided to take a stand against that and just lose myself in offering praise.
This song is called “From the Inside Out” by Hillsong United and can be found on the United We Stand album (I have it from the iWorship 24/7 album, which is a compilation of some really great worship songs).
If you were like me and fed the mood, try breaking through with worship. Guaranteed it works. Lose yourself in worshipping God. You might as well get used to it now… if you are a Christian, this is what we’ll be doing for eternity. Get some practice in!
From the Inside Out – Hillsong United
A thousand times I’ve failed
Still your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
Still I’m caught in your graceEverlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fameMy heart and my soul, I give You control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise, become my embrace
To love You from the inside outYour will above all else, my purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praiseEverlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fameMy heart, my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside outEverlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out, O my soul cries outMy Soul cries out to You
My Soul cries out to You
to You, to YouMy heart, my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside outEverlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out, O my soul cries outEverlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out, O my soul cries out
From the inside out, O my soul cries out
From the inside out, O my soul cries out.

Yes, I agree worship can do amazing things. I hate to admit this but there have been times when I haven;t “felt” like going to church. But as soon as the body of Christ starts singing to our Lord and I know that the heavens are listening and dancing to our praise it is impossible not to come alive…… Can’t wait to get to heaven, if it gives me goose bumps here on earth, how am I going to handle it up in heaven!!??
