Songs From The Heart

I have updated my profile and added some of my favourite songwriters , including my husband, Dan. The Lord has blessed Dan with the ability to write songs that flow from the heart of God toward His children and from the hearts of His children to God. There were two songs that Dan wrote at the beginning of my season of trouble that have been very instrumental in the healing process. The first song, I Am Your Rock is from God's perspective, while the second song, Your Love Sustains Me is from our hearts toward God. There were times when the pain was so intense that all I could do was lie on the floor or couch and Dan would sing these and other songs over me. Dan was being "God in the flesh" for me. It is our desire that the Lord would minister to others through these songs as well.

I Am Your Rock (song by Dan Antonio - September 7,2004)
I have heard the cry of your heart
I have felt your pain
I've not hidden my face from you
By your side I remain

When your world comes crashing down
In the times of brokenness
Lift up your eyes to Me
I Am your Rock, I Am your Rest

Rest in My love, that's what you need
Take time, and come to me
My love is enough
It's your greatest need
So come rest, come rest, be still

I Am your Rock, I Am your Rest
I Am your Peace in the storm
I Am your Rock

My love is unfailing toward you
My love covers you
I will not abandon you
My love will see you through

Your Love Sustains Me ( song by Dan Antonio - September 20, 2004)

Oh Lord my God
You are Faithful
You comfort me
In all my troubles
Your love to me
Sustains me
I will not forget
That You are with me

A broken and contrite heart
You will not despise
A heart after your own heart
Is your desire

Lord You are strong
And I am weak
Let grace pour out
Like waters upon me
I need Your touch
To heal and restore me
I need you now
To love and to hold me

"The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing." Zephaniah 3:17 (NIV)

"You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance." Psalm 32:7 (NIV)

The words to both songs are beautiful! I hope I hear them sung one day!
