I Never Lost my Praise

I wanted to share a beautiful song that was sang at church today. It is called I Never Lost my Praise and here are the lyrics.

I've lost some good friends along lifes way
Some loved ones in heaven departed to stay
But thank God I haven't lost everything
I've lost faith in people who said they cared
In time of my crisis they were never there
But in my disappointment, in my season of pain
One thing never wavered, one thing never changed
I never lost my hope
I never lost my joy
I never lost my faith
But most of all, I never lost my praise
My praise still here. My praise still here.
I've let some blessings slip away
When I lost my focus and went astray
But thank God I haven't lost everything
I lost possessions that were so dear
I lost some battles walking in fear
But in the midst of my struggles, in my season of pain
One thing never wavered, one thing never changed
I never lost my hope
I never lost my joy
I never lost my faith
But most of all, I never lost my praise.
My praise still here. My praise still here.

Those are powerful words aren't they? This song is a challenge to me. I want to be the person that can look back and say I never lost my hope, joy, faith and praise. I can tell you that there are certainly days when I don't feel so joyful! It is hard- even impossibe without God's help but he has promised us that he will always be there to help us. And because of his promises, I have hope. Hope that someone will someday say about me "She never lost her praise."
