All the Way my Savior Leads Me...

Last week, I got the amazing chance to go with three sweet friends to see the CHRIS TOMLIN concert....
It was NOT great entertainment.
It was AMAZING worship.

I soaked up every millisecond of it. I seriously would love to do that every week! None of wanted it to be over, and my friend Susan told me why: We were MADE to worship! Ha, just made so much sense.

Some of my favorite songs he sang were:
"Indescribable"
"How Great is Our God"
"Sing Sing Sing"
and of course when I heard "Amazing Grace" and
"I Will Rise," all I could think of was granny. There were ferocious tears, but good ones.

My friend said that Chris Tomlin music is all that's been getting her through lately, so I downloaded a few of his lesser known songs. Here is my new favorite song, though it is quite an oldie, written in 1875 by Fanny Crosby.

Just let these words fall on you....

All the way my Savior leads me
Who have I to ask beside
How could I doubt His tender mercy
Who through life has been my guide

All the way my Savior leads me
Cheers each winding path I tread
Gives me grace for every trial
Feeds me with the living bread

You lead me and keep me from falling
You carry me close to Your heart
And surely Your goodness
And mercy will follow me

All the way my Savior leads me
Oh, the fullness of His love
Oh, the sureness of His promise
In the triumph of His blood

And when my spirit clothed immortal
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages
Jesus led me all the way
Jesus led me all the way

You lead me and keep me from falling
You carry me close to Your heart
And surely Your goodness
And mercy will follow me
You lead me and keep me from falling
You carry me close to Your heart
And surely Your goodness
And mercy will follow me, will follow me

All the way my Savior leads me
All the way my Savior leads me

Once again I am just sick that I missed yet another amazing concert! Wanted to take my Will to this one SOOOO BAD! This was the kick in the booty that I need to make it more of a priority the next time around!!
There is nothing that moves me more than an authentic worship experience...PRICELESS!

My brother and his wife saw Chris in concert last month and they too thought he was just awesome. I am a softie for the old hymns myself. Have been loving "Glorious Day" by Casting Crowns a whole bunch these days.
