What can miserable Christians sing?

Carl Trueman once remarked that when he asked the above questions at conferences it often elicited laughter from the audience despite it being a serious question.

So, what do Christians who are hurting, who are experiencing the fire of trials, who find themselves in the Valley of Vision, sing? Here is a hauntingly beautiful song from the Getty/Townend duo (lyrics below).

Still, my soul be still

Words and Music by Keith & Kristyn Getty & Stuart Townend

Still my soul be still

And do not fear

Though winds of change may rage tomorrow

God is at your side

No longer dread

The fires of unexpected sorrow

God You are my God

And I will trust in You and not be shaken

Lord of peace renew

A steadfast spirit within me

To rest in You alone

Still my soul be still

Do not be moved

By lesser lights and fleeting shadows

Hold onto His ways

With shield of faith

Against temptations flaming arrows

Still my soul be still

Do not forsake

The Truth you learned in the beginning

Wait upon the Lord

And hope will rise As stars appear when day is dimming

Can I also suggest that the wonderful album 'Come Weary Saints' from Sovereign Grace ministries as another resource for churches to tap into.
