I very often will privately sing, a verse or two and then the chorous that says,
"Oh come unto me
and I will give you rest
take my yoke upon you
hear me and be blessed
for I am meek and lowly
come, trust my might
come my yoke is easy
and my burden light."

Bro. Strange,
In later years with declining health, my late father would get
to thinking about the goodness and love of God and would
start singing songs like, "I Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey
Now" and "I Am Blessed" and you could tell it brought his spirit
up to a new level! I, now find myself singing those old songs, the
words just speak to me. They are more than mere words. Jesus
told His disciples, "The words I speak unto you, they are spirit
and they are life". Remember the old song, "Wonderful Words
Of Life". The old songs contain words that have been lived,
experienced, and found out that they are true words. Thank
God for words of encouragement whether they be in song, or
just spoken by a saint of God at a time when they are SO
desperately needed. Jesus knows just what we need and when.
Blessings,
