Two songs; one message.

Two new-to-us worship songs have really spoken to us lately (in two different languages, funnily enough). :)

The first song is Matt Redman's 10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord), which was introduced to us by our friends at Fresh Ground: London. Some of our favorite lines are included below:

"Bless the Lord, O my soul,
O my soul,
Worship His holy name.
Sing like never before,
O my soul,
I'll worship Your holy name.

"The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning.
It's time to sing Your song again.
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me,
Let me be singing when the evening comes.

"Bless the Lord, O my soul,
O my soul,
Worship His holy name.
Sing like never before,
O my soul,
I'll worship Your holy name..."

The second song is Polish singer-songwriter Mate.o's Przyjaciela Mam, which we've been learning from our Polish friends at the Sweet Surrender coffeehouse/house church here in Kraków. The (translated) lyrics go something like this:

"Przyjaciela mam, co pociesza mnie.
Gdy o Jego ramie oprę się W Nim nadzieje mam, uleciał strach.
On najbliżej jest, zawsze troszczy się.
I have a friend that comforts me.
When I lean on His shoulder I have hope in Him—
Fear is gone. He is so close, He always cares.

"Królów Król, z nami Bóg.
Jezus, Jezus...
King of Kings, God is with us.
Jesus, Jesus..."

Amen!
