Children of the promise
Sophie - October 21, 2009
Do y'all ever get a song stuck in your head for days on end? Please tell me that you do. Because I have had a song playing on NEVER ENDING REPEAT in my mind for the last week, and I'm starting to think that it's going to be my internal theme song FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, WHETHER I WANT IT TO BE OR NOT.
So I've decided - based on absolutely no scientific proof, mind you - that if I share the song with other people, maybe I can "give away" a little of its hold on me. And yes, I recognize that my theory makes no sense whatsoever, but if you'd been singing a song in your head for the last seven days, you'd also probably be looking for a pause button in whatever form you could find it.
And here's the kicker: I LOVE THIS SONG. In fact, I think that one reason it's gotten stuck in my brain is because I've listened to it so much over the last month or so. We actually sang it in church this past Sunday, and OH MY is it ever a great song for corporate worship. So powerful.
I just maybe sorta kinda need a little teensy break from it for four or maybe even sixteen seconds.
And here's my favorite verse, just in case you're wondering:
By faith this mountain shall be moved
And the power of the Gospel shall prevail
For we know in Christ all things are possible
For all who call upon His name.
That's a good word, y'all.
And I know it's a good word because I've been hearing it in my head for SEVEN DAYS IN A ROW, NOT THAT I'M COUNTING.
Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

Sophie, Thank you so much for posting this song today. I love Keith & Krysten Getty but have never heard this song before! I love it, the words, the rhythm, everything! I can see why you have it stuck in your head, but what a great reminder as it plays over and over: “We walk by faith and not by sight!”
We are studying Galatians right now in my Bible study and have been learning about how we really are the Children of the Promise. I will have to share this song with them!
Thank you for sharing it with us, and thank you Lord that it was stuck in her head so that she would feel the need to pass it on!
Love, Tara

It’s Time for the Reign of God for 22 days and counting.
LOVE Children of the Promise and am hoping that if I play it enough, it will replace It’s Time. Not that It’s Time isn’t wonderful. It’s just that it’s been 22 days. Twenty-two days!
