More Great Music from Sovereign Grace

August 7, 2008

While I was at the Worship God ‘08 conference last week I bought Come Weary Saints, one of Sovereign Grace’s newest CD’s. I am really enjoying it, and particularly enjoy this song written by Mark Altrogge, called As Long as You are Glorified:

Shall I take from Your hand Your blessings
Yet not welcome any pain
Shall I thank You for days of sunshine
Yet grumble in days of rain
Shall I love You in times of plenty
Then leave You in days of drought
Shall I trust when I reap a harvest
But when winter winds blow, then doubt

Refrain:

Oh let Your will be done in me
In Your love I will abide
Oh I long for nothing else as long
As You are glorified

Are You good only when I prosper
And true only when I’m filled
Are You King only when I’m carefree
And God only when I’m well
You are good when I’m poor and needy
You are true when I’m parched and dry
You still reign in the deepest valley
You’re still God in the darkest night

What a wonderful expression of love for and trust in God’s good purposes in all things. Every time I listen to it, I find myself praying that God would make my heart really embrace what I am confessing.

You can listen to an audio clip of the song here.

Longing (and longing to long) for His will to be done in me,

Larry
