The song "Good to Me" by Audrey Assad was brought to me last Spring. The timing was impeccable. In my trials, I recognized how very good to me God has been and always will be. I had a very difficult semester, with a lot of unknowns and a lot of anxiety coming from that.
Now Audrey is coming back again and making me weep once more.
She has a new album for 2016 out called Inheritance. But, because I never really listened to her before, I am just soaking in every song she has on Spotify. She has the voice of an angel so that doesn't hurt either. There is one in particular that just jumped out at me that I have on repeat that rings so true for me right now. It's called "I Shall Not Want" from the album Fortunate Fall. I'm going to put the lyrics here because they are poetic and just so needed. I hope they will spark something in you also.
I Shall Not Want
Audrey Assad
From the love of my own comfort,
From the fear of having nothing,
From a life of worldly passion,
Deliver me, O God!
From a need to be understood,
And from a need to be accepted,
From the fear of being lonely,
Deliver me, O God!
Deliver me, O God!
And I shall not want,
No, I shall not want,
When I taste your goodness, I shall not want.
When I taste your goodness, I shall not want.
From the fear of serving others,
Oh, and from the fear of death or trials,
And from the fear of humility,
Deliver me, O God!
Yes, deliver me, O God!
And I shall not want,
No, I shall not want,
When I taste your goodness, I shall not want.
No, I shall not want,
No, I shall not want,
When I taste your goodness, I shall not want.
When I taste your goodness, I shall not want.
I shall not want,
Shall not want.
