When Songs of Praise are birthed out of adversity....it sets the soul on fire!!!

I just listened to this song and oh how his testimony touched me....it took me back a few years ago when little Jack passed away....I wonder if I had done this if it would have changed the outcome.....
I hope you are blessed by it....

I SO love that song, and yes H2S, I can see how his testimony would bring you back to losing your Jack. But then, you did not lose him at all, Heaven gained a sweet soul!

Amen! And so to that I say....
I RAISE A HALLELUJAH! What the enemy tried to do to destroy my faith only made it stronger...

I watched the movie "I Can Only Imagine" a couple of years ago and this is another one of those songs that was birthed out of despair and adversity.

 

[Heart2Soul]

Anyone else got a song based on a real life event?

Hi @Heart2Soul Is this one of Brian Johnson's? sounds a bit like what Brian and Jenn Johnson would perform, anyway...

This is a song by Mercy Me...Bart Millard (lead vocalist) wrote this song after his father passed away.

This was a great movie.

This is the story behind "I Have Decided to Follow Jesus." I was just talking about this on Saturday, so thought of it when you shared this.

@Mayflower I didn't see that one...

@Mayflower Some songs seem to combine strong lyrics and strong vocals. Jenn Johnson's are a bit like that...

@Mayflower I didn't see that one...

You can't see the video, or never saw the story before?

@Heart2Soul Horatio Spafford's hymn comes to mind which he wrote after the drowning at sea of four daughters:

"When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to know
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Refrain
It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life,
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

But Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
A song in the night, oh my soul!"

I never knew the origin of this song....so beautiful....so sad what happened to his daughters.
What a beautiful testimony of praising Him and triumphing over what the enemy had done.

This is my favorite song as it expresses my exact thinking as I encountered my Father!!! My favorite time of my life! He is faithful!
I've lost nearly everything one could lose, but I've gained Him!
"Never shall I leave you; never shall I forsake you!"
