Shane & Shane (also known as Shane Barnard and Shane Everett) released a new album yesterday entitled Everything is Different. If you already like Shane and Shane, you'll probably love it because it's classic S&S fare. If you're not familiar, here's a free sample!
Today's featured song is called "For the Good." This morning while I was running and listening to the album (yes, I really do exercise, I promise), the lyrics really jumped out at me. The theme centers around the familiar concepts of Romans 8:28 ("And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose"), and God's goodness and glory even in the storms of life.
You can hear the entire song for FREE here. (The full album is available for download from iTunes and Amazon.)
And the lyrics are below. Hope the message will minister to you as well.
by Shane & ShaneWhen darkness is surrounding meBy Your Spirit, Lord, help me seeThat You are working all things outAnd Lord, I really need to hear You speakSo remind me in the waitingYou are working all things outFor the good of those who are called by YouFor the good of those who are in love with YouThat's why we sing:Holy God of lightI lay down my lifeHoly is the LordEven in the stormBe glorifiedWe like to take the blessing from YouShall we not take the trouble too?You are working all things outAnd we like to take prosperityShall we not take the suffering?You are working all things outFor the good of those who are called by YouFor the good of those who are in love with YouThat's why we sing:Holy God of lightI lay down my lifeHoly is the LordEven in the stormBe glorified
