From Protest to Praise


From Protest To Praise





I knew the times would come
And now the times have landed with stinging abrasion
As ready as I seem to be
It's never like I planned it yeah
I'm wrestlin' my thoughts, I'm overcome
Would you give me up, I'm askin', Lord?
There's nowhere I sense Your presence here
So I will cry out until I go
From protest to praise
You're always amazin' me
You're changin' me slow but surely
And You're gonna see me to the end
How long will I be forgotten by You forever?
'Cause You're not makin' sense here
It seems like eternity has made a home between us
Yeah
I'm wrestlin' my thoughts, I'm overcome
Would you give me up, I'm askin', Lord?
There's nowhere I sense Your presence here
So I will cry out until I go
From protest to praise
You're always amazin' me
You're changing me slow but surely
And You're gonna see me to the end, to the end
I'm wrestlin' my thoughts, I'm overcome
Would you give me up, I'm askin', Lord?
There's nowhere I sense Your presence here
So I will cry out
From protest to praise
You're always amazin' me
You're changing me slow but surely
I just can't help but see it that way, 'cause you're gonna see me
From protest to praise
You're always amazin' me
You're changing me slow but surely
And You're gonna see me to the end
Oh yeah
Hear me now



He is changing me from resistant fear-filled obligatory obedience to (Like Mary in Luke 1) willful voluntary submission in confident trust and joy in my Leader and best friend Jesus Christ







(verse 1)
My soul does magnify
the greatness of the Lord
On me His favor lights
In my Savior I rejoice

(verse 2)
He has done mighty things
Holy is His name
All creatures under heav'n
Fear Him whose mercy reigns

(chorus)
He has proven His might
His arm outstretched with strength
He has scattered the proud
and brought down all vain conceit
He has lifted the lowly
brings goodness to the poor
My Savior's love endures
My Savior's love endures

(verse 3)
Oh Israel find your help
solely in the Lord
His mercy's without end
His promise He'll uphold

(bridge)
Glory be to the Father and Son
Glory be to the Spirit three in One
Glory be in the beginning and the end
Glory forever, Amen
