3 Scriptures for Tired Moms {The Music Video Version}

Earlier this week I posted  my favorite verses for weary mommas, and today it finally occurred to me why these verses (and not a host of other verses) were so important to me.

I love these because I can sing them! All three verses are also little songs. Working around my house, walking around Walmart, rocking a fussy baby, these are the little chorus that keep a smile on my face when I'm exhausted.

And because I'm just a bit crazy and love you guys a whole lot, I decided that I really needed to share my songs with you. So I took my camera, and shut myself away from the prying eyes of my family and recorded myself singing these three songs a million times. And yes, these videos are the best out of a million. Don't judge.

So here they are, with me, no makeup, a messy bedroom, and Jesus. I did take my hair out of a ponytail, but I'm not sure it did any good. And if I look ridiculously happy it's because after singing these songs a million times I was ridiculously happy. Funny how that works {smile}.

So here we go...

1. First up is "The Joy of the Lord". I have no idea where I heard this song first. It seems like I've always known it, but it made a re-occurrence in my house after I heard Michelle Duggar talk about singing it while folding laundry at 1 am. I figured if it helped a mom of 19 kids, then surely there was some hope for me! The phrase, "The joy of the Lord is my strength" comes from Nehemiah 8:10. The rest of the song is loosely based on other scripture passages.

2. Second is "I Lift my Eyes Unto the Hills". I think this came from a Casting Crowns song, but I'm not sure if it was original to them or not. It's just Psalms 121:1-2 which is one of my favorite passages of scripture.

3 Last, is "He Gives Power to the Weary". This is based on Isaiah 40:29. I made up this song myself. I often set our memory verses to music as a way of remembering them, I usually try to stick to the verses pretty closely, but this time I took some creative liberties on the middle part. It just need an extra oomph!

So there you are. I hope these are an encouragement to you!

And if you are really nice to me, one day I'll post myself performing Deuteronomy 10:17-19 to the tune of the William Tell Overture. You don't get that kind of quality anywhere but here {wink, wink}.
