The other day I was driving in my car and I was in a somber place. But then the song Do it Again by Elevation Worship began to play. And the tears started to flow. I'm not talking about a few tears; I’m talking about a tsunami of tears. The words of the song struck a deep place in my heart.  I listed some of the words of the songs below.

"Walking around these walls, I thought by now they'd fall, But You have never failed me yet, Waiting for change to come, Knowing the battle's won, For You have never failed me yet, Your promise still stands, Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness, I'm still in Your hands, This is my confidence, You've never failed me yet"

 Now as I ponder why this song means so much to me the answer becomes quite clear. It is God’s faithfulness. I am struck that God has never failed me and will never fail me. This truth overwhelmed me. Why, God, why do you love me so much? Why, even when I'm not lovable, when I’m not fighting with my whole heart for You? And it came back to the fact that God is faithful. 

 My heart was full as the song played. I sung with all my might, and I sung as loud and as hard as I could. God’s faithfulness made my heart sing. The more I sung the more I cried; my soul was thankful and hopeful for in that moment the reality of God’s faithfulness came to be more real, more precious, more alive to me. You see, I knew this in my mind, but for some reason, God chose to let my heart know more deeply the truth of how faithful He is. 

I sometimes do not know how to respond to times like these, but this time my tears spoke the words my heart wanted to say to my God, my Savior, my Lord. And I tell you I can’t wait for Him to come again so I can say with words what my heart and tears said in that car. My prayer is that I never forget God’s faithfulness. Lord, remind me please, Do It Again.
