“Beautiful in holiness awesome in Your praise
We marvel at the wonders of Your ways
We will never be forsaken, we are Yours forevermore
You are holy You are lovely and Your fiery love consumes us Oh Lord”

(from “Hear My Cry ( O Most High)” David Baroni/Meg Everhart

As I was thinking about the ardent affection expressed toward the Lord in the above song, I also thought about how some that don’t know Him would react to hearing or reading these lyrics.

Some people would think that the possibility of someone having a passionate, loving relationship with God would be unattainable, or if indeed if it was possible, the person that could be that close to God could only be that rarefied, one-in-a-hundred-million person that they would call a “saint”.

When you hear the term, whom do you think of? Mother Teresa? Francis of Assisi? Maybe Joan of Arc or the Apostle Paul?

Not to diminish the noteworthiness of those listed above, but the power of the Gospel is that it makes saints of all believers in Christ- and not just when we die!

Mufasa, the Lion King spoke from the stars to his searching son Simba one evening:
“You’ve forgotten who you are.” And “you are more than you’ve become.”

Our natural state as believers in Christ are that we are supernatural beings… we live by faith, led by the Spirit. We are separated unto God, “…partakers of His Divine nature.”
We are saints; even though we forget who we are, even when we don’t act like it.

This is not a reason to boast, our boasting is in the Lord-no; this call to be saints is a humbling one. A thrilling,sobering, wonderful reality… called to be saints!

Godrest and Godspeed,
David Baroni

My Help Comes From The Holy One

My help comes from the Holy One
My hope is far above
When storms and darkness threaten me
I’m anchored in His Love

My Faith has found a resting place
In Jesus Christ the Lord
Beyond what mortal eyes can see
I live by God’s own Word

And who in heav’n or on the earth
Compares with God Most High
Who laid aside His kingly robe
Through Mary born to die

The only One both God and man
Proclaimed God’s Kingdom come
The good news of redeeming Love
The Father’s will was done

They buried Him in borrowed tomb
Such sorrow on that day
But oh the joy came on the morn
The stone was rolled away

Christ rose into the heavenlies
At God’s right hand He reigns
And now we are complete in Him
Oh blessed be His Name!

My help comes from the Holy One
My hope is far above
When storms and darkness threaten me
I’m anchored in His Love
I’m anchored in His Love

I just posted a song from my newly recorded Italian Project at www.myspace.com/davidbaronimusic click

It is called “Hear My Cry” (Odo il grido mio) and was written by myself and Meg Everhart. The duet was sung (magnificently I might add) by my translator, Alessandra Masdea.

I hope you enjoy it and will pray for the Kingdom success of Il progetto italiano -Canti spirituali di lode e adorazione

Also, don’t forget to download the free new song “I Will Worship” at www.davidbaroni.com

Rita and I just returned from a wonderful trip to Europe. We had ministry and holiday time in Austria, Switzerland and Italy. In all three countries we were in the mountains and the leaves were changing colors.
Yesterday evening we returned home to Franklin, Tennessee; tired, grateful and excited to be reunited with our family here.
Today, Rita and I walked around our neighborhood and once again enjoyed the autumn colors. God is good to us!

A big “Thank You” to all of our hosts in the countries we just visited- especially the Hoggards, Mannings, Anzalones and Hopkins in Rome.
While in Italy I recorded my first ever Italian CD! It features nine of my songs sung in Italian.
To order one, contact me at david@davidbaroni.com
