In light of our current trial, I decided to take the song line by line and find the scripture from the Word of God for each line. I am so thankful for people who write songs straight from God's word. What a gift! Some of the lines have multiple scripture or concepts of scripture tied to them. I have just tapped the surface of the treasures found in this song.
"Sovereign Over Us"
by Aaron Keys
There is strength within the sorrow,
"weakness" in greek=want of strength, weakness, infirmity, feebleness of health or sickness, trials or troubles
There is beauty in our tears
There is beauty in our tears
When beyond our understanding,
You're teaching us to trust
You're teaching us to trust
CHORUS
Your plans are still to prosper,
Your plans are still to prosper,
Faithful forever,
You are wisdom unimagined,
Who could understand your ways
Reigning high above the heavens,
You're the Lifter of the lowly,
You uphold me,
Psalm 119:92
Even what the enemy means for evil
You turn it for our good,
You turn it for our good and for your glory
Even what the enemy means for evil
You turn it for our good,
You turn it for our good and for your glory
Psalm 119:37,49; 65; 68;81;89-93,107;114
Turn my eyes from worthless things, and give me life through your word. Remember your promise to me; it is my only hope.You have done many good things for me, Lord, just as you promised. You are good and do only good; I am worn out waiting for your rescue, but I have put my hope in your word.
Your eternal word, O Lord, stands firm in heaven. Your faithfulness extends to every generation, as enduring as the earth you created. Your regulations remain true to this day, for everything serves your plans. If your instructions hadn’t sustained me with joy, I would have died in my misery. I will never forget your commandments, for by them you give me life. I have suffered much, O Lord; restore my life again as you promised. You are my refuge and my shield; your word is my source of hope.

I think I found your blog via Kelly's Korner awhile back, but can I tell you how refreshing it is to see your posts that are so full of God's truth and scripture when I check my blog feed each day. Praying especially for you today.
An entire song based on God's eternal word. Amazing breakdown. Thank you. I was moved.
