I have always felt music touches the soul like no spoken words can express. What words fail to say, the music completes the thought to our very soul . . .
I received this note in an email some weeks ago. This sweet mom wants her precious little ones to grow in their relationship with Jesus. Much of their concepts about God will be formed through the songs they sing. And thank you, Chris, for your songs of inspiration to young and old alike.
I want you to know that even after all these years (old NPBC days) you still inspire our family. We have 3 little girls, adopted with many challenges the littlest one, getting ready to face daily hormone shots, sat with me when I first listened to Chris Tomlin’s Whom Shall I Fear(angel armies) that you had suggested. That night she had a nightmare (several a week still), came to our room crying, big sobbing tears. I cuddled her in to rock her and noticed she was singing ” I know who goes before me, I know who stand behind, the God of angel armies is always my side. The maker of the universe, (real loud here)! HE IS A FRIEND OF MINE. The God of angel armies is on my side” she then bursts in to “whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear, The Lord is the strength of my life, whom then should I be afraid.” Tears rolling down her precious face. She prays and thanks God for Pastor Steve and for Chris Tomlin, got a hug and went to bed and slept through the night.
You have not been my personal pastor for a long time, but God is using you to minister to my new generation of family. Blessings, Pastor and Bonita. The worship music thrills my heart. Praying for you daily; my baby girls (9,8,8) pray heaven down over you.
“Whom Shall I Fear”
(God Of Angel Armies)
You are my morning song
Though darkness fills the night
It cannot hide the light
You crush the enemy
Underneath my feet
You are my sword and shield
Though troubles linger still
Whom shall I fear
I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
The one who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
My strength is in Your name
For You alone can save
You will deliver me
Yours is the victory
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
The one who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
And nothing formed against me shall stand
You hold the whole world in Your hands
I’m holding on to Your promises
You are faithful
You are faithful
And nothing formed against me shall stand
You hold the whole world in Your hands
I’m holding on to Your promises
You are faithful
You are faithful
You are faithful
I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
The one who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
The one who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
