Hello and welcome to a special Thursday bonus episode of the Excel Stillmore podcast.

I am still your host, Chris Emerson, and I am still here to encourage you with tips and strategies

to help you grow in your walk with God and build stronger relationships.

Every once in a while, I'll release a shorter episode like this to help you grow in your walk with God and build stronger relationships. Every once in a while,

I'll release a shorter episode like this to give you some extra encouragement. Thank you for joining in.

Let's get started. Hey, welcome back to another special Thursday 10-minute bonus episode where I will share with you the lyrics of a song that today in particular are going to uplift you, fill you with encouragement, and just put a huge smile on your

face. I had originally chosen a different song, one that pushed a few buttons and challenged you and me in

some particular ways. But on the way into the office today, I would say that today's song

chose me. I was actually kind of rehearsing in my head some of what I was going to share

with you when I took a little mental break and turned on the radio. And there it was,

the Hillside United song, So Will I. First, I was just listening, then singing along rather loudly,

and then the hairs on my arms and legs started to stand up and tingle. And I thought, okay, God,

I see what you're saying. There is someone out

there today who just needs to stop what they're doing and see you, be in awe of you. And maybe the

only challenge you and I need today is the effort it takes to reach down and pick our jaws up off the floor. To the extent that

nature proclaims the majesty of our maker, so will I. And in thankfulness that the Son of God

came here to earth and poured out his life to honor his father and complete his mission. So will I. I continue to believe that gratitude

in the greatness of our God is the fire that will fuel our faith and help us live more

completely for him. So let me share those lyrics with you today, and I know you're going to love them.

But first, as has become common for the Thursday episodes, I would like to tell you about a

worship opportunity coming up this weekend where you and I can praise God together.

Tomorrow night, Friday, June the 17th, I will be at the Campbell Road Church of Christ in Garland,
