Usually my two weekly blogs are not related to each other, but this week I came upon something that I felt I needed to share in both. Most of what you read here will also be in my Hymn Blog this Sunday. But I know not all of you read both blogs each week so I have decided that this is too good to miss.
Like a few of you, we have become big fans of the Collingsworth Family and each Sunday we have been watching their streaming videos as part of our Sunday in-home worship. We are blessed by their music and their harmony and their presentations.
However, we are most impressed by the piano arrangements of Kim Collingsworth. She is exceptional and amazing,
In the video which we saw last Sunday she shared some of their reaction to the pandemic. This included the thought that while things all around have been canceled, joy has not been. And with this thought she wrote a song on this theme. I felt that it was encouraging enough to share with all of you.
Joy is not canceled
It still remains
Gods' goodness, kindness
His grace isn't running low
And He has not changed"
His power is still abundant
His mercies are still new
God's plans have not been canceled
He's fully in control
And everything that matter still remains.
When life is put on hold
All our plans have canceled
Things have changed
Nothing feels the same
Disappointments fear and doubt
Go hand in hand
and waves of worry threaten me
Everywhere uncertainty
But in the midst of chaos
In the midst of fear
There is something to remember
There is something we all need to hear
Joy is not canceled
Peace still remains
God's goodness kindness
His grace isn't running low
And He has not changed
His power is still abundant
His mercies are still new
God's plans have not been canceled
He's still in control
And everything that matters still remains
So when the trials and tests they come
Darkness only hides the sun
And You can't seem to find Your way
No light of day
There are some things we know for sure
They never change they will endure
No matter what things look like
All around us
So in the midst of chaos
In the midst of all the fear
There is something you should remember
Yes there is something we all need to hear
Joy is not canceled
He still remains
God's goodness and kindness
His grace isn't running low
And He, He has not changed
His power is still abundant
His promises they're all still true
God's plans have not been canceled
He's fully in control
And everything that matters still remains
Yes everything that matters still remains
Psalms 30 : 5, "For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a lifetime: Weeping may tarry for the night, But joy `cometh' in the morning. Philippians 4 : 4 "Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice."
Now here is a clip where Kim reviews the circumstances behind this song and then sings the song which she wrote. JOY
