Last week was not the greatest of weeks. My dear sister reached out and we were able to talk. In our conversation, she said, “Every shadow requires a light.”
It made me think of this song below that I have heard several times in the past weeks. These great men and women of faith faced shadows and blackness. Yet, they had light, they had the Light.
Are you in the “shadow land” right now, facing darkness? Never fear. We have the Light!
I wanna dance like David
I want a faith like Paul
I wanna sing like Silas
Tearing down those prison walls
I wanna face that fire
It won’t burn me though
God’s got my back
Shadrach Meshach Abednego
Pre Chorus 1
I wanna walk like Moses
Right through the waves
One day I’ll see that promised land
No longer slaves
Though the fear is talking
No it can’t take out my faith
Chorus
I’m gonna praise
I’m gonna praise
I praise the mountain
Moving body raising breaker of chains
Gonna praise
I’m gonna praise
I praise the Heaven seated
Undefeated highest of names
Refrain 1
That’s who I praise hey
That’s who I praise
That’s who I praise
Verse 2
I want a gift like Mary
I wanna break my vase
I want to sleep like Daniel
Even in a Lion’s den
Pre Chorus 2
I’m gonna get that promise
Just like Jericho
Yeah I know what’ll make it fall
Chorus
I’m gonna praise
I’m gonna praise
I praise the mountain
Moving body raising breaker of chains
Gonna praise
I’m gonna praise
I praise the Heaven seated
Undefeated highest of names
Refrain 2
That’s who I praise hey
I praise the God is proven
He can do impossible things
Refrain 1
That’s who I praise hey
That’s who I praise
That’s who I praise
Bridge 1
He is the Lion of Judah
He is the Lamb that was slain
The only One’s who worthy worthy
Worthy of all of His names
That’s who I praise
Bridge 2
He is the Risen Messiah
He is the Ancient of Days
The only One’s who worthy worthy
Worthy of all of His names
That’s who I praise
Chorus
So I’m gonna praise
I praise the mountain
Moving body raising breaker of chains
Gonna praise
I’m gonna praise
I praise the Heaven seated
Undefeated highest of names
Refrain 2
That’s who I praise hey
I praise the God is proven
He can do impossible things
Refrain 1
That’s who I praise hey
That’s who I praise
That’s who I praise
Refrain 1
That’s who I praise
That’s who I praise
Verse 3
I wanna love like Jesus
That kind of grace
I wanna live like I’ve got
No more precious time to waste
Gonna give Him glory
With all my thanks
‘Cause there’s no
Greater stronger higher name
And that’s who I praise
That is our Wednesday Wit & Wisdom for this week. It got me thinking. I have heard this song several times, but it struck me.
