Faithful Fridays ~ My Lighthouse.

Hi, everyone!  :)  Can you believe it's only FIVE days until Christmas?!  Where on earth did the time go?  Next week I'll be taking a break from Faithful Fridays as we'll be out of town right after Christmas.  :)





Faithful Fridays is a weekly linky party hosted on my blog. I made it so that Christians could have one special day out of the week (Friday) to share something from their Christian walk on their blog. If you'd like to participate, write your post, grab the button from the Faithful Fridays page on my blog (so that it will link back here), and come link up at the bottom of this post! :)

If you know me in person or you've been following me on Instagram (or even just talked to me for very long), you probably know that my favorite band is Rend Collective Experiment.  

God has blessed them with amazing talent and a heart for Him, and they've blessed the world with beautiful songs with beautiful lyrics that have a way of connecting a person to God.  :)  

One of their most recent songs is My Lighthouse.  They played this song at their concert that I went to back in October, and I've been listening to it over and over again.  :)  

I love that it's true.  God is our lighthouse--He promises to guide us through storms and carry us safely over the frothing waters to shore, no matter what we're going through.  And I'm so thankful for that.  


"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
    I will counsel you with my loving eye on you."
-Psalm 32:8


I hope that as you read these lyrics and listen to this song, you'll be encouraged in the fact that no matter what storm you've been through, are going through now, or will go through in all the days of your life, God is your lighthouse and He will carry you through the storm, safe to shore.  :)


In my wrestling and in my doubts
In my failures You won't walk out
Your great love will lead me through
You are the peace in my troubled sea
You are the peace in my troubled sea


In the silence, You won't let go
In my questions, Your truth will hold 
Your great love will lead me through
You are the peace in my troubled sea
You are the peace in my troubled sea


My Lighthouse, My Lighthouse
Shining in the darkness, I will follow You
My Lighthouse, My Lighthouse
I will trust the promise, You will carry me safe to shore 
Safe to shore 
Safe to shore
Safe to shore


I won't fear what tomorrow brings
With each morning I'll rise and sing
My God's love will lead me through
You are the peace in my troubled sea
You are the peace in my troubled sea


Fire before us, You're the brightest
You will lead us safe to shore 
Fire before us, You're the brightest
You will lead us safe to shore





God bless you guys and have a great day!  

Joy :)

I haven't gotten to listen to K-Love in a while so I don't think I have heard this song, but I assume it is played on there? Such beautiful lyrics! It is so clear their hearts are so strong in the Lord. I can see why you love it so much... thinking of God as our lighthouse is such a powerful, comforting picture. I love the way you described it.

Blessings, Joy!

Have a great night :)
