A cool, refreshing song quenches ones thirst

Occasionally, nothing helps! Have you ever needed a "pick-me-up" and a "down-in-the-dumper" calls to remind you that things have been worse and moans about what they see on the horizon?

Have you been thirsty and have nothing to quench the thirst or hungry and have nothing in the refrigerator that looks good enough to eat? Have you made plans that have all fallen apart at the last minute? You are all dressed up and have nowhere to go?

The "Old Philosopher Eddie Lawrence" says it humourously! Listen in on the Internet at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOhKqWMhVVI. Your problems will not go away, but you will probably laugh!

And then, a song races into your spirit, a song of confidence and rejoicing, a song of victory and celebration. That wonderful phenomenon happened to me again recently. The lyric came and stayed! The truth echoed around as long as I needed the "pick-me-up!" The lyrics caromed around inside for as long as it took for its truth to refocus my fearful frets into excited expectation. If you know the tune, sing along!

All praise to Him Who reigns above
In majesty supreme,
Who gave His Son for man to die,
That He might man redeem!

Refrain

Blessèd be the Name! Blessèd be the Name!
Blessèd be the Name of the Lord!
Blessèd be the Name! Blessèd be the Name!
Blessèd be the Name of the Lord!

His Name above all names shall stand,
Exalted more and more,
At God the Father’s own right hand,
Where angel hosts adore.

Refrain

Redeemer, Savior, Friend of man
Once ruined by the fall,
Thou hast devised salvation’s plan,
For Thou hast died for all.

Refrain

His Name shall be the Counselor,
The mighty Prince of Peace,Of all earth’s kingdoms Conqueror,
Whose reign shall never cease.

Refrain

Ah, that truth is like a cool 16-ounce glass of my favorite, sweet tea! Sing it again! Refreshing, isn’t it?
