Carl Trueman once remarked that when he asked the above questions at conferences it often elicited laughter from the audience despite it being a serious question.
So, what do Christians who are hurting, who are experiencing the fire of trials, who find themselves in the Valley of Vision, sing? Here is a hauntingly beautiful song from the Getty/Townend duo (lyrics below).
Still, my soul be stillWords and Music by Keith & Kristyn Getty & Stuart TownendStill my soul be stillAnd do not fearThough winds of change may rage tomorrowGod is at your sideNo longer dreadThe fires of unexpected sorrowGod You are my GodAnd I will trust in You and not be shakenLord of peace renewA steadfast spirit within meTo rest in You aloneStill my soul be stillDo not be movedBy lesser lights and fleeting shadowsHold onto His waysWith shield of faithAgainst temptations flaming arrowsStill my soul be stillDo not forsakeThe Truth you learned in the beginningWait upon the LordAnd hope will rise As stars appear when day is dimming
Can I also suggest that the wonderful album ‘Come Weary Saints‘ from Sovereign Grace ministries as another resource for churches to tap into.
