I am so in the zone with this song lately. I love it and how it reminds me to recalibrate my thinking and refocus my attention away from worthless things, drama, pettiness, distractions, worry, fear, jealousy, etc. Oh, how I need to hear and practice the self-talk of ... Don't lie to yourself, o my soul - love your God. Just love your God. It amazes me what a discipline this is!
O My Soul by Audrey Assad
Rivers and stones and the trees of the field, they sing in the night
And a thousand tongues lay deep in your lungs to raise to the sky
Don't lie to yourself, o my soul—love your God.
Don't lie to yourself, o my soul—love your God.
Deep in your heart you feather and tar your folly and fear
Expose them all for the fools they are and the world comes clear
Don't lie to yourself, o my soul—love your God.
Don't lie to yourself, o my soul—love your God.
Your worries will never love you
They'll leave you all alone
But your God will not forsake you
O my soul.
Don't lie to yourself, o my soul—love your God.
Don't lie to yourself, o my soul—love your God.

Love it! Thanks for introducing me to her music. How funny about what you posted because I came across this quote concerning something similar. Be content with Jesus...simply be content with Him.
"Are there not some of you who have set up a desired experience between yourselves and Jesus and are looking at it rather than at Him? You want a great shower, when perhaps it is His purpose to fill you drop by drop? You must lay down this strong will, this desire for the experience of a great blessing, and be content with Jesus, simply Jesus!" Alfred Cookman 1800's
This might be one of the most belated comments you've ever received. ;) I'm wanting to buy some new music and was searching through old emails for songs that people had recommended. This is the second time this artist has come up this evening, so I've added her to my list for sure. Thanks!
Elizabeth! It is so bizarre that you would find this song right now because I hunted it down on here late last night ... knowing I needed to read the words again for some encouragement. Too strange and too cool that you'd be here on this old post, too!
