Sing Anyway
But how can we sing the songs of the LORD while in a pagan land?
Psalm 137:4
My Takeaways
Something Old
Are there modern-day watchmen? Would we believe them?
Something New
Acts 16
Sing Anyway…
- Sing anyway. Paul and Silas could have remained silent. Their physical pain must have been excruciating, but they sang anyway.
- Sing the right song, not the song of the world or circumstances around you. Paul and Silas could have belly-ached and complained, joining in the misery of those around them, but they sang anyway, the right song.
- Singing will change things. Paul and Silas not only changed their perspective and circumstances, they changed the lives of the prisoners and jailor.
Something to Do
Sing anyway!
Here are the words- Sing anyway my friend
When you’re up against a struggle
That shatters all your dreams
Your hope’s been cruelly crushed
By Satan’s manifested scheme
And you feel the urge within you
To submit to earthly fears
Don’t let the faith your standing in
Seem to disappear
Praise the Lord
He can work through those who praise Him
Praise the Lord
For our God inhabits praise
Praise the Lord
For the chains that seem to bind you
Serve only to remind you
That they drop powerless behind you
When you praise Him
Now Satan is a liar
And he wants to make us think
That we are paupers
When he knows himself
We’re children of the King
So lift up the mighty shield of faith
For the battle must be won
We know that Jesus Christ is risen
So the works already done
Praise the Lord
He can work through those who praise Him
Praise the Lord
For our God inhabits praise
Praise the Lord
For the chains that seem to bind you
Serve only to remind you
That they drop powerless behind you
When you praise Him
Praise the Lord
He can work through those who praise Him
Praise the Lord
For our God inhabits praise
Praise the Lord
For the chains that seem to bind you
Serve only to remind you
That they drop powerless behind you
When you praise Him
One of my all-time favorite praise songs!
Here’s a couple of new ones to add to the praise list:
