7's featured Music for the week!

I was raised a pentecostal. I loved my church growing up, and after I left the church, got married, had a few kids, and went to college, one of my teachers told me about another branch (is that the right word?) in a city a bit closer to where we were living at the time.
Since moving to Montana, I have deeply yearned for the feelings I felt toward God while attending church. After 3 years of living here, I'm still seeking a church home, and I can feel a HUGE chunk of my heart missing, and aching for that connection. But, so far, nothing has come close to the church I left in Kentucky. And the only affiliated church is a very, very long drive away from where I live now. I would literally have to leave Saturday afternoon and stay the night somewhere in order to get to church Sunday morning. And if they have an evening service, stay the night again and get home Monday afternoon.
So I'm quite sad about church, and it's hard for me to even get up early Sunday morning and attempt to visit another to see how I like it. It's all just very depressing.
Thankfully, music was a HUGE part of each service, and was what got the spirit really moving. So I'm able to find a few songs that bring back that spirit in my own home, and can bring tears to my eyes, and really help me feel God's presence.
This is one of those songs-



Why Me, Lord
Kris Kristofferson

Why me, Lord
what have I ever done
to deserve even one
of the pleasures I've known?
Tell me, Lord
What did I ever do
that was worth loving you
or the kindness you've shown?

Lord help me, Jesus
I've wasted it
So help me Jesus
I know what I am
Now that I know
That I needed you so
Help me, Jesus
My soul's in your hands

Try me, Lord
If you think there's a way
I can try to repay
All I've taken from you
Maybe, Lord
I can show someone else
What I've been through myself
On my way back to you

Lord help me, Jesus
I've wasted it
So help me Jesus
I know what I am
Now that I know
That I needed you so
Help me, Jesus
My soul's in your hands

 Jesus, my soul's in your hands.
