Heir of the Covenant
 

This is a song by Michael Card and it sort of ties in with my blog post.  For those of you who are struggling right now, this song is such a heart lifter.  It reminds us that there is a joy in the journey of life.  This life God has given us is a gift and it is meant to be enjoyed.  There will come hard times, and we will struggle with sin, but forget not the road before you.  God is a loving God and He has given us this life as an enjoyment.  We are on a journey, following hard after God, and though there are toils and snares along the way, there is a joy that comes with it.  I hope you can look this song up and listen to it, but here are the words!
There is a joy in the journey There's a light we can love on the way There is a wonder and wildness to life And freedom for those who obey And all those who seek it shall find it A pardon for all who believe Hope for the hopeless and sight for the blind To all who've been born in the Spirit And who share incarnation with Him Who belong to eternity stranded in time And weary of struggling with sin Forget not the hope that's before you And never stop counting the cost Remember the hopelessness when you were lost There is a joy in the journey There's a light we can love on the way There is a wonder and wildness to life And freedom for those who obey And freedom for those who obey...

Wow, three months later I notice that you put this song up. Definitely my favorite Michael Card song! I have many memories of listening to it on the way to teach ESL classes. :) So thanks for including it!

    Every month, I will be posting the lyrics of a hymn as the new Hymn of the Month.  I hope you will read it and try to apply it...hymns are such a blessing, let's not let them go to waste.  My dad suggested something to me.  He said whenever you're down or are facing a temptation, start to sing...so I sing hymns.  There are different types of hymns.  Some for praising God, some about the nature of God, and some about how God relates to His people.  I bet you there is a good hymn for any sort of situation you are in, so I hope the ones I put up here every month will be helpful.  Feel free to comment on any of these hymns and share any insight that you might have.
