Playing this from my sons bedside in acute rehab. Spinal cord injury and WAITING IN EXPECTATION OF THE MIRACLE!

[@NB-le9nw]

Lori Carter Remember that healing comes in many forms and that God gets glory from us enduring trials! Pray for His perfect will to be done!

[@chloeclements7669]

I lost my mum almost two months to cancer, she was 46 years old and such a lover of Christ. This song has helped me sooo much since she passed away, really lifted my head above the pain and helped me slowly heal. It's still a day by day process and my heart still aches that she isn't here, but I often get pictures of her dancing before the Lord and this song has opened my eyes and heart to receiving from Him.

[@ruintheliarsschemes]

Chloe Clements be strong and keep your faith. If she was a lover of Christ she is in a Paradise without sadness or pain now. Celebrate her life. I know loss can be hard and worse if we make it so. I'm praying for you today. Be blessed

[@prathyusha016]

Chloe Clements praying for you! I'm kinda teary after reading your comment! God bless! Stay strong in Christ.💖

[@suursha]

Peace be upon your heart , i pray that you are able to feel God's love and strength in times you need it the most

[@dariosanchez667]

God Bless you sister Chloe! God Bless you!:)

[@allisonrodgers5303]

I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. May you know that she is in heaven and no longer suffering.

[@meganmckarns2054]

I'm from the US, but currently serving in El Salvador as a missionary for a year. I'm only 19, and this has been the longest time away from home. Culture shock, stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and homesickness can sometimes get in the way of what I'm here to do, and when I realize it does, I feel guilty. Sometimes I don't understand why I'm here-- why has God has brought me here? He could have picked someone better, but He still uses me despite my insecurities and flaws. When I listen to this, "you pick up my pieces and put me back together", it makes me feel worthy again in God's eyes. This song has given me more strength, confidence, and made me feel so loved by our Creator. When I go and work with my kids here in El Salvador, listening to this song beforehand almost gives me new energy and reminds me that GOD is the one equipping me for this work, that I don't need to glue myself back together, but God puts the pieces back for me. Thank you.

[@Nananabooboo3]

Megan McKarns Megan, you are God's best choice! God bless you for your perseverance and obedience to serve HIM there. At 19 years old I was very lost and it took me a long time to realize how much I needed the Lord in my life. God has us all in different places for HIS will and purpose, and everyday we pick up our cross and follow HIM. Thank you for reminding me that it's not always easy or comfortable......but no matter what HE is faithful, HE loves us, HE defends, HE goes before us, HE.......🙌❤️🙏 praying for you.

[@DAndreStewart]

"When I thought I lost me you knew where I left me"........ powerful statement!

[@tendayimavhima]

HEARING THIS FROM ZIMBABWE. ITS 2.35AM AND BARELY NOTICING ITS THIS LATE. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!

[@bhhbhh8072]

I had a dream one night when I was going through quite alot of attack from enemy. A child was singing this beautiful note that can't really be sung by us and Jesus and some others were coming into a place with tables to eat and I was there. I was pretty beat down at the time as the enemy had been using shame on me and I just sat on the floor. When I looked up Jesus was sitting with me. God loves us and He is there for us always. Know that for truth and God bless and glory to God. Thanks and praises. He will always be there for you and stands with us through it all. Know that you are loved and cared for.

[@elizabethnewton2556]

I have been in that place of brokenness. Caught in the briers on the hillside. Crying in pain and lost. Till God my Father, Jesus my Shepherd came after me. He heard my cry and untangled the briers and brought me home. He closed the emotional doors I was not able to close by myself. He restored me to wholeness. This song is it.

[@jackiemensa404]

This song has me crying worshipping and smiling and laughing in my room, thank you!

[@warpwarrior312]

Hey! Upper room worship has really really blessed me! I was hanging out with my friend yesterday and we just turned on some worship music (a lot of which was from upper room :). We ended up spending about an hour and a half or two hours just dancing, laying on the floor, singing, and just overall having a blast in God's presence. It was awesome! No worship team, no fancy instruments, just youtube, each other, and the Holy Spirit. Thanks guys! You have been a real blessing :)

[@live4grace]

Just emerging from a loooooooooooooooong wilderness period. About 10 years of canceled work, terminated ministry and relationships abruptly ended. All I did was worship. And everything I went through was required for what I'm doing right now. God's way was better than mine, even when I didn't understand. He knew right where I was, and knew the riches he had created through trouble and sorrow. This song sings my soul right now. Praise Jesus, Lord of all!

[@wonderGuillle]

This song come to me in a perfect moment, my marriage is in a dark hole. But Jesus is my hope!

This is incredible thank you so much, I’m 16 watching from the UK and you guys bless me so much. God bless you 😊

[@mama.ashley]

I’ve just found your music about a month ago. And I absolutely love it. It’s just so raw and authentic. I can feel the Holy Spirit so thick when I’m worshiping with you! My family had a major incident about around the same time I found your music. Your lyrics helped give me strength and pushed me to move forward. It encouraged me and I refused to give the devil my defeat! I was reminded that he trembles at the sound of Jesus’ name, and at the sight of my worship, especially during the storms. Thank you for being open to what God’s doing. Much love!

[@aigulko]

[@valiant_hero]

[@bonifacemaina96]

This song ministers to me at a totally different level. Playing on repeat. Thanks Upper Room!

[@philliptheevangelist3188]

You know this song kinda of saved me too, I slipped away from the faith, blamed everyone for my failings even the church. I decided to go back to church to see if I could get that fire back and our worship team sang this song, first time I heard it this year 2019 and it brought me back. The Lord knows what we need at the right time

[@emmanueltadayo2649]

Amen! Jesus reigns!!! Let the Lord receive all the praise! Beautiful!

[@elkisa6223]

Tears . I feel my pain and inner exhaustion. He is the God who is close to the broken. I am not usually emotionally aware of my brokenness. It’s more of an intellectual understanding. Crumbling into pieces and it’s safe and it’s okay. I know it’s always safe to fall apart and be okay with Jesus. Oh Holy Spirit of God. Praise your Holy Name.

[@mayfreed3656]

JESUS is the only one who can truly give me PEACE and GENUINE LOVE..My greatest love and defender. So much better your way Lord.

[@adellelucille]

I hear this song every Sunday. At our church, we have fifteen minutes of time to connect with God and read the Bible and write your thoughts on your notebook. You can pray and stuff, basically you are praising Him silently. I hear this song during that time, and I may loose my focus on my prayer (lol), but this song helps me get to feel Him better then most other things.

[@gladyssara353]

I got so lost in all my problems but that's when you reintroduced me to your love and put me back together. JESUS I love YOU for being my defender!!!!!!

[@danyllobueno862]

You do not know guys, how this song has been the sweet and strong voice of God in me... I'm passing through bad times, but can hear my soul cries out this song to God, my Defender

[@stephenkim3248]

Listening to this song from NYC, NY. Heard this song this past Saturday during a prayer night and was filled with an overflowing sense of peace. As someone who moved out-of-state recently for my first, full-time job, it hasn’t been easy keeping God at the top of my priorities. Living in such a loud and active city has made it even harder for me to be still and acknowledge my Maker. Being so far away from friends and family, it often feels like I’m in this fight alone and anxiety seems minutes away from drowning me. But, as I continue my walk with my Savior, I feel hopeful that I will one day be able to say with conviction that I truly entrust the entirety of my being to Abba Father. Thank you so much for this song and may we continue to praise and give glory to God! Fight the good fight, everyone!

[@henriqueccruz]

Watching this from Brazil. Just came back to Christ after almost 3 years in a very deep faith crysis. God bless you guys for producing these videos, they are my go-to during the week, when my heart starts burning to worship again and again. Lots of these views are mine. 😆
