Lauren Daigle, an incredibly talented musician and one of the biggest names in Christian music, turned in a dazzling live acoustic performance of her hit song “Thank God I Do.”
Life can be a painful and heartbreaking experience. Hurt, grief and sorrow will visit all of us at one time or another, usually and unfortunately, on multiple occasions. Life is very rarely fair, often dealing some people more than their fair share of hurt and struggles.
But there is hope through all the pain, hurt, loss and grief. Jesus Christ offers the hurt and weary comfort, healing and rest. He gives joy to the brokenhearted and hope to the oppressed. Not everything in life will be a happy, joyful experience, but if we know and cling to Him, we can and will make it through every situation.
In a video posted on social media, Lauren performs her tune “Thank God I Do,” which is about this very thing. She sings that she has recently gone through a dark period, a struggle in life, but knowing Him made all the difference. He was able to pull her through and provide her comfort during that circumstance.
The song’s beautiful chorus makes it clear that Lauren understands that she would not be who or where she is without God’s love, guidance, direction and protection. He kept her in His hand and watched over her when she needed Him the most.
“I don’t know who I’d be if I didn’t know You
I’d probably fall off the edge
I don’t know where I’d go if You ever let go
So keep me held in Your hands.”
This is a song that is likely to speak to many. Everyone has found themselves in a position in which they were overwhelmed, questioning whether they could make it through when God came in and made a way.
Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and take heart, and have no fear of them: for it is the Lord your God who is going with you; he will not take away his help from you.”
