A to Z Challenge N Natalie Grant

N
Natalie Grant.
I really, truly love everything this woman sings. She comes across to me as a very real, transparent Christian woman. She seems to me to use her music & her talents to relate to her fans & share her struggles.
I've read (& believe) that most of what she writes come from her own personal emotional & spiritual struggles & triumphs and I for one can feel that when listening to her songs.
Specifically "I Will Not Be Moved". That song in particular has gotten me through more than one time where it felt like life was beating me up pretty badly. It serves to remind me whose child I am, what promises God has laid out for me & that I can not & should not give in or give up. But instead stand my ground, stand on the firm foundation of faith & press on. If you haven't heard this song yet please click on the video below. You'll be glad you did. It's an inspiring "the world won't get me down" anthem!

 
Admit it...you loved it & are now looking for other songs by her! Amazing, right?
& for those who are interested, here are the lyrics to the song::




"Will Not Be Moved"
I have been the wayward child
I have acted out
I have questioned sovereignty
and had my share of doubts
And though sometimes my prayers feel like they're bouncing off the sky
The hand I hold won't let me go
and is the reason why...

I will stumble, I will fall down
But I will not be moved
I will make mistakes, I will face heartache,
But I will not be moved
On Christ the Solid Rock I stand,
all other ground is sinking sand
I will not be moved

Bitterness has plagued my heart many times before
My life has been like broken glass, and I have kept the score
of all my shattered dreams and though it seemed
that I was far too gone
My brokenness helped me to see it's grace I'm standing on

I will stumble, I will fall down
But I will not be moved
I will make mistakes, I will face heartache,
But I will not be moved
On Christ the Solid Rock I stand,
all other ground is sinking sand.
I will not be moved.

And the chaos in my life, has been a badge I've worn
And though I have been torn
I will not be moved

I will make mistakes, I will face heartache
But I will not be moved
On Christ the Solid Rock I stand,
all other ground is sinking sand.
I will not be moved
