Praise

Encouragement
Hi all! I am new to this site and I just wanted to encourage you with something that blessed my heart. I listen to the Contemporary Christian Channel on Music Choice and a song played that I absolutely love. It is called Before The Morning by Josh Wilson. I looked up the lyrics for it and stumbled upon some testimonies having to do with the song. Here they are:

I heard this song when I discovered my wife was cheating on me. I discovered many things about her...and it destroyed me. I was not saved....I was an atheist. In my anquish....I fell on my knees.....crying out to God......and then my friend.....the one who patiently waited for me over the years....contacted me. She sent me things to read....she sent me things to listen to. This song (on youtube) was one of them.

I'm now saved.....the heart bursting joy I felt....was amazing. God answered my prayer....even though I didn't know I was praying....and sent my friend to help me....help me open that door to God.

I heard this song for the first time a few days ago while listing to KSBJ - the BEST christian radio station in Houston, TX. The lyrics to this song are amazing and very powerful. I too am crying and praying fervently for a very dear family whose 16 year old son, Joseph, is in a coma from a tramatic head injury he received riding his skateboard. He has been in a coma since June 3rd. By GOD's grace, he continues to fight the good fight and his family's faith in GOD'S power to perform a modern day miracle to heal Joseph is unwavering. I pray for GOD's grace, mercy and healing to all those who hear this song. Thank you to those who've shared their stories. Your stories bring HOPE. GOD BE WITH YOU.

Lovely song. It always plays on 95.9 "the fish" when I feel down and out, reminding me that God will see me through all this. He has done it several times before and will do it again because I trust in Him and rely on Him to be my guide and guardian. Just be patient!

It is so very amazing. Every time I start wondering where God is in my situation, this song seems to play on WGTS 91.9 FM in Maryland, my favorite and only radio station I listen to. Whatever God is trying to say to me through this song, Ii pray He would make my faith sight. To choose this Christian pathway comes with lots of questions for which they seem to be no answers. But by faith, we go on leaning on His word; trusting in his Holy Name and believe He will never fail us.

WOW, this song came on during a time when I was so confused and furious about a situation with someone I care about, and the lyrics just spoke to me. the lyrics just hit the nail on the head, and gave me hope :)

Oh my...I just read all the stories before mine. I pray at this very moment that each of you feel the loving arms of our faithful Father God holding you. He loves you all so very, very much. And the cross you are carrying is the cross he gave you because he knew he could trust you with it. My heart breaks for you. It truly does. You will have an awesome testimony to share of God's grace one day. He has you by the hand. We all need to keep praising the Lord. And, know that everything we have gone through he too suffered. And as this anointed writer Josh Wilson said, joy come in the morning. We still have a reason to sing, the pain that we are feeling can't compare to the joy that is coming. In His presence is the fullness of joy. Keep Praising, Keep the faith, Keep your eyes on Jesus. In His love, Karen H

LOVE LOVE this song - he wrote this for a friend whose son wasn't supposed to live due to a Congenital Heart Defect. He's 8 now! I can so relate because my 7 yr old son was also born with a CHD & has been through so much pain in his short life. His is physical pain, mine is emotional pain. But God has been at his side from day 1 & all I can do is PRAISE GOD! You need to see the video at: http://apps.facebook.com/joshwilson/

This amazing song of truth reminds us of a God and Saviour who is acquainted with our grief and comforts us to then comfort others. Thanks you Josh for paying the price in worship to pen these lyrics.

I did not know the story behind this song untill I bought the album. 14yrs ago my son and daughter died and this summer my husband was suddenly killed in an accident. This song touched a part of my soul deep. I am only 44 and I too will stand strong and dare to believe for me and my 8yr daughter. Thank you Josh for your words.

Psalms 109:22,26-27,31
"For I am poor and needy,and my heart is wounded within me... Help me, O Lord, my God! Oh, save me according to your mercy, that they may know that THIS is Your hand-that You, Lord, have done it!... For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those who condemn him."

This song has meant so much to me too while I wait for God to do some extremely important things in my life. I need Him so much to come through for me. I'm sure you're family is strugglig for the same thing. But God is FOR US! Who can be against us?? I'll pray for Ayven and your family too! May God show you His miraculous power!

I know how it feels to have someone so little that you love so much suffering through such a hard and awful thing. I will pray for Ayven.

I heard this song driving home one night...while crying for my little grandson who is a coma due to severe head trauma caused by a daycare provider. He was injured Dec 18 2009 and remains in a come. We ar etold he will not ever be able to interact with his surroundings. My daughter has decided to trust God and let Him lead the way. Our Ayven is breathing on his own and able to swallow as not to assperate causing lungs to fill up with fluid. He does have a feeding tube and will soon have surgery to replace his skull which was removed to relieve pressure. All of that to say.......This song has given me the most comfort through this ordeal. HOPE!!!!!
