Desert Song

This song by Hillsong really ministered to my heart this morning.   I can’t explain it all the reasons why but it is so true.   He is still God, in every season, and He is the reason we can still worship.   He is so good to us.  His love endures forever and He is my strength [...]

Its Just a Season
