Day #4: A song that calms you down
For this one I chose the song Sovereign by Chris Tomlin. I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. I think the reason why this particular song calms me down is fairly obvious. Both the melody and the lyrics are so simple, yet so profound. It's a reminder of the sovereignty of God. Didn't see that one coming, did you? Haha. It's a good reminder in times of frustration, stress, worry, and fear that God is ultimately in control of everything. Everything is in His hands. Some lyrics in the chorus are: "In your never failing love, you work everything for good. God, whatever comes my way, I will trust you."
It's also a good reminder that God works everything for good. There seems to be a bit of debate regarding a different song called "Your Love Never Fails". The bridge of that song is: "You make all things work together for my good." Repeated. And I've seen it changed in so many ways between my good and Your good and our good, but I'm reminded that it doesn't really matter. God is working everything for good and it doesn't matter if it's my good, our good, or His good. It's good. I like to think that God works in all three of those ways.
I couldn't find a good video of Chris Tomlin singing the song.
But Sarah Reeves does a very good cover of it.
Enjoy.
