God Wants to Hear You Sing
This past year we have seen some good people go on to be with the Lord, and others in our church have suffered real problems, setbacks and burdens. I hope this song will lift your spirits in the Lord! - Pastor

Just click the arrow to hear the song.Their chains were fastened tight
Down at the jail that night
Still Paul and Silas would not be dismayed
They said, “It’s time to lift our voice, sing praises to the Lord
Let’s prove that we will trust Him come what may”
God wants to hear you sing
When the waves are crashing ’round you
When the fiery darts surround you
And despair is all you see
God wants to hear your voice
When the wisest man has spoken
And says, “Your circumstance is as hopeless as can be”
That’s when God wants to hear you sing
He loves to hear our praise
On our cheerful days
When the pleasant times outweigh the bad, by far
But when suffering comes along
And we still sing Him songs
That is when we bless the Father’s heart

Thank you so much for this song. My husband of 48 years went to be with the Lord last month. He pastored for 50 years in Machias Valley Baptist in Machias, Maine. My hope is in the Lord but my heart is weeping. That song is an encouragement.
Mrs. Henderson,
Thank you so much for sharing that with us. I know that God will show Himself real to you in this time as only He can.
I “checked out” your church’s website and saw your “family” video on your son’s blog. I wish I had known your husband, but I will see him some day in Heaven.
I love the music on that video, and I want to say “thank you” to you for being a faithful wife to the man of God for over 48 years. God bless you, my sister.

Thanks so much for sending us this song - it sure was a blessing to us especially at this time. I forwarded it to many people - Pastor Henderson was my home church pastor in Maine since the 70’s - certainly a great man of God and one I know will be missed much.
God Bless - Herb
Herb & Niki McLean sent this song to me and it is beautiful.
Six months ago my husband of 51 years went to be with Jesus. He pastored for 26 years (he was 44 years old when God called him), he loved the Word of God and therefore I know he is enjoying resting in Jesus.
I miss him more than words can say, somehow it does not seem real. When my heart is sad I do praise my Lord and thank Him that one day I will see my soulmate again. What a day it will be when my Jesus’ face I will see!
What a blessing and inspiration to read the preceding comments. Carolyn shared this site with me and the song is beautiful. I help out with music at our church in Machias, and I am wondering how to find the sheet music for that song. It would be such a gift to share with others here. Thank you, Heidi
