Song: I Choose To Worship: Artist: Wess Morgan: Album: Under An Open Heaven (2010)

Verse 1:
Far so long I was silent. Far so long I did not have a song of praise. Depression filled my days and clouds blocked my ways. but there was a voice speaking to me awaking the passion so quiet in me, in me, so still in me

Chorus:
I choose to worship. I just can’t give up. I choose to worship. My mind is made up

Verse 2:
Is that your voice calling me into that secret place with thee. My heart has longed for this moment with thee

Chorus:
I choose to worship. I just can’t give up. I choose to worship. My mind is made up

Verse 3:
I choose to worship right here in the midst of everything that I’m going through. Tears running down my face. Don’t know where to go. Have nobody to talk to but I’ve made up my mind; I’m going to worship you. In spirit and in truth I bless your name I glorify you right now I’m desperate for your presence God. I’m coming after you

Vamp:
He’s healing me I’m going to worship
[6 times]
I’m going to worship
[8 times]

Lead;
I’m a living witness He’ll heal you yes He will
Come on I need everybody in here to help me do this come one He’s healing me
Come on I need you to lift yourself out of that mess that you’re in right now
Come on some of you have been down so long
Come on make up your mind right now

I can’t lay here and die
I gotta seek after Him; I hear His voice calling me right now
He’s healing me
I’m coming to you broken tonight. I’m coming to you wounded tonight
I’m coming to you right now I need your presence in life
Ohhh He’s healing me yes he is
I’m gonna worship you
Come on I need some worshipers in here tonight
Come on that’s got a made up mind
Come on to bless the Lord at all times
In the midst of every test; every trail
I’ve made up my mind that I will bless the Lord at all times
I’m gonna worship
Yes I am; yes I am; yes I am; I’m gonna worship yes I am
I’m gonna worship you ohh Lord come on lift up those hands and bless his name
I’m gonna worship yes I am; I’m gonna worship
Oooo yes hmmm…
My heart has longed for this moment with thee I chose to worship!

 

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. –John 16:33, 

Jesus said as long you live in the world, you’re going to have trouble. (I can vouch for that!) But you’re not just in the world. You’re in JESUS in the world, and that makes all the difference. You’re in Him and He’s overcome every kind of trouble there is.

As God’s child, you’re not the defeated trying to get the victory. You’re the overcomer, and Satan’s trying to rob you of the victory that already belongs to you

When you made Jesus the Lord of your life, you were born into victory… because the victory came to live in you. Think about it. The victorious Jesus. The Anointed One. The glorified and resurrected Lord. The Ruler of the Universe.

There is a peace that comes only in Him (16:33). Now, if it is possible for us to be “in Him,” then we, too, have access to that peace. And it so happens that we can! When we believe in Jesus with all our heart, turn to Him in repentance, and are baptized “into Christ,” we can enjoy all the spiritual blessings that can only be found “in Christ” (Ephesians 1:3, Romans 6:3-4, Galatians 3:27).

We can take hold of the peace that is so powerful that it surpasses all understanding. It allows us to be content when the world is crashing around us. It helps us to rejoice when we are tempted, knowing it helps to create patience. It helps us to endure the fiery darts of the wicked and continue to march in the fight against Satan’s wickedness (Ephesians 6).

Cheer up, my friends. We have and will continue to face troubling days, but we can do it with confidence, hope, peace, and assurance. We are told to be of good cheer. Why? Because He has overcome the world and is ever-present with His children.

If we will open our eyes to what God does for us every day, we too will see that our cup has overflowed with the love of God. When we really meditate on how awesome our God really is and what He does for us and will do for us, we will have not a problem being of good cheer.

 That’s Jesus Who lives in you!
