Diamonds

This is such a good song, just remember in the pressures of life, when we put our hope and trust in the Lord, He is always doing a good work. We may not be able to see it at the time, but He is working in us and He is working through us. We have to stand for Him and even when it is tough, stand. I remember in Facing the Giants, the couch said, "If we win, we praise Him. And if we lose, we praise Him. Either way we honor Him with our actions and our attitudes. So I’m askin’ you… What are you living for?" That is also true in life, we need to praise Him no matter what, it changes the perspective that we are looking at. Remember God is making a diamond out of you, to make a diamond he uses pressure, hard times and He is making you into a beautiful gem. Diamonds are not formed without pressure. 

Diamonds by Hawk Nelson

Here and now I’m in the fire, in above my head
Being held under the pressure, don’t know what will be left
But it’s here in the ashes
I’m finding treasure

He’s making diamonds
Making diamonds
He’s making diamonds out of dust
He is refining
And in his timing
He’s making diamonds out of us

I’ll surrender to the power of being crushed by love
‘Til the beauty that was hidden isn’t covered up
It’s not what I hoped for
It’s something much better

Oh The Joy of the Lord
It will be my strength
When the pressure is on
He’s making Diamonds

I won’t be afraid to shine
I won’t be afraid to shine
I won’t be afraid to shine

‘Cuz He’s making diamonds out of dust
Making diamonds out of us
