I Raise a Hallelujah

O God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.—Ps 108:1

Give us help from trouble,
For the help of man is useless.
Through God we will do valiantly,


For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.—Ps 108:13-14

What a wonderful Psalm to remember when our heart is filled with fear and the battle we are facing seems very much against us.  My mind is settled and my heart is fixed!  My God’s  grace to me has overcome the cares that have shaken my foundation. My heart is resolute!  His banner over me is love. Perfect love castes out fear.  

Through God I will draw my courage, my wisdom and my power.  God is my  secret weapon especially when I am afraid.  He, who is on my side, fights for me. He will tread down my enemies and make them fall before me. The help of man is vain.  Through Him I will do valiantly.  

I am reminded of this song...

I raise a hallelujah, in the presence of my enemies
I raise a hallelujah, louder than the unbelief
I raise a hallelujah, my weapon is a melody
I raise a hallelujah, heaven comes to fight for me

I'm gonna sing, in the middle of the storm
Louder and louder, you're gonna hear my praises roar
Up from the ashes, hope will arise
Death is defeated, the King is alive!

I raise a hallelujah, with everything inside of me
I raise a hallelujah, I will watch the darkness flee
I raise a hallelujah, in the middle of the mystery
I raise a hallelujah, fear you lost your hold on me!

I'm gonna sing, in the middle of the storm
Louder and louder, you're gonna hear my praises roar
Up from the ashes, hope will arise
Death is defeated, the King is alive!

Sing a little louder (In the presence of my enemies)
Sing a little louder (Louder than the unbelief)
Sing a little louder (My weapon is a melody)
Sing a little louder (Heaven comes to fight for me)
Sing a little louder (In the presence of my enemies)
Sing a little louder (Louder than the unbelief)
Sing a little louder (My weapon is a melody)
Sing a little louder (Heaven comes to fight for me)
Sing a little louder!

I'm gonna sing, in the middle of the storm
Louder and louder, you're gonna hear my praises roar
Up from the ashes, hope will arise
Death is defeated, the King is alive!
