Shout to the Lord!

I’m watching American Idol and my heart skipped a beat as I heard Ryan Seacrest announce that the contestants would be singing “Shout to the Lord”.  First of all, I was shocked that this was the choice of song.  Amazing!  I mean, here are these people on stage singing the words, “My Jesus, my Savior, Lord there is none like you.  All of my days, I want to praise, the wonders of your mighty love…………”  This song means so much to me, and always brings back a flood of memories, along with tears.  When I went to Pakistan in 1999, we ministered to numerous people through miming (signing……whatever you want to call it) this song.  At one point, we “performed” this song in front of a group of Hindus in a Hindu temple.  I guess if God can pull the strings to allow something like that, He can most definitely move the producers of “Idol” to choose this song, lifting His name in the presence of millions.
