#MorningWorship - Back in the Saddle

Each morning, I start off my day by listening to my personally curated "Morning Worship" playlist on my phone. It's a playlist with days' worth of gospel and worship music that I have grown up with and listened to for over 30 years.

I want to share with you a song each morning that I listened to that day that inspired me and reminded me of God's goodness, love and mission for us on Earth.

Today's song: "Back in the Saddle" by Commissioned

(lyrics below the video)

We saw you a year ago

At the convention

You were flying high not to mention

Your testimony was strong

You even stood up and sang a song

Knowing full and well that this is not a ritual

Your walk with Christ was spiritual

Bible in one hand track in the other

A witness in the streets, but oh my brother

What happened, did you miss the mark?

Did you fall short?

You say the race is not fun

What hinders you now, that you do not run?

I know you've heard it said if at first you don't succeed

Get back up and try it again

But it's easier to say than it is to get it done

You just keep on praying

You just keep on staying

You'll find out that you can be the one

You will never give in to the devil's call

You'll be ready to get up when you take a fall

Now you should've known, you are not alone

You just keep on praying

And you just keep on staying

You'll find out that you could be the one

I know that sometimes it gets hard

To stand your ground

You remember, never give in

Look up to God he is your help

Oh, he knows your weakness and he'll provide a way of escape

Just keep on praying for you'll find

Quitters never win

Winners don't give in

You just wait on him, you will find

Promises are true

What he says he'll do

Mr. Christian, Mrs. Saint

We said you can don't say you can't

It's not the one who finished first my friend

But it's the one who makes it to the end

So go on and confess up your debt is paid

And go and clean the mess up that you made

It's not a license to sin, but one to get free

I told you time and again you got the victory

Sing it

Get back, Get back, Get back up in the saddle

Get back, Get back, Get back up in the saddle

Get back, Get back, Get back up in the saddle

Get back, Get back, Get back up in the saddle

Oh, get on up

Oh, giddy up

A just man falls but a few times

But he gets back up with the right mind

A just man falls but a few time

But he gets back up with the right mind
