During the service this last Sunday, as we were singing and worshipping, Angi Sussex sang a song she sensed God wanted to use to minister specific encouragement to those in the congregation struggling with anxiety and fear over the future.
Here’s the lyrics from the song, and a rough recording. May it serve and encourage you all!
Today you may be hurting,
In pain or suffering.
Today you may feel God is far away from you.
Today you may be anxious,
Afraid for tomorrow.
Today you may feel temptations lead you astray
But we have a hope of a greater day coming;
A day when our Saviour will make all things new.
So don’t be disheartened,
If you feel that the days ahead
Look too hard for you;
Because of a day when Jesus gave everything,
We can be confident He’ll carry us through.
So we’ll trust in Your promises,
Hold on to Your faithfulness.
Holding on to the hope of that glorious day;
For we know You are coming,
For those You have loved;
And we trust You that You would carry us through,
Everyday.
Angi, thank you for stepping out faithfully to serve us in this way, ministering and showing us God’s heart to His people. I trust God will continue to use this gift in you to edify the church, and pray this example will encourage others to step out in faith to use their gifts of the Spirit.
