I come before, before you now,
and I lay my burdens down.
Prince of peace,
Councillor,
Son of the Father I adore.
I love you Lord,
Youre all I have.
Youre all I ever really want.
Youre face is all I seek.
You put a new song in my heart.
A song of praise to you, oh Lord.
And I will worship all my life,
trusting the Lord.
Hallelujah!
This song is about the most special song in the world to me. This song was being played when I met Jesus for the very first time. Thats a little bit beside the point, but this song, in all its simplicity, never ever ceases to amaze me and bring me back to where I should be.
Coming before God, bearing all, raw and honest, laying everything you have in front of Him, is not always an easy task aye. I struggle with it day by day. I like to take control of things. I like to twist things to turn out how I want them to. But like, if I cant trust that He who created me and my heart with such care and precision has written me a unique and beautiful life story, then what does that make me? A hypocrite? When I do swallow my pride (and I find myself doing this repeatedly) and lay everything down, it really is that hallelujah feeling this song portrays so well.
This song continues to bring me to tears, every single time I hear it. Partly because it is such a massive part of my story, but also just because of how it shows the love that is Jesus Christ. That all it takes is for us to lay ourselves in front on Him, and He will put a song in our hearts, a beautiful transformation that can only come for our creator.
Apologies for taking song lyrics and passages from books lately to write on, its just that...I have lots to say, but others tend to say it better.
Your profound wisdom never fails to amaze me. You really do have a fantastic way of putting things that make it easy for anyone to understand. I love how you are not afraid to share your emotions with others and I thank God for awesome ability to share things with others :-D
ReplyDeletep.s. Im sorry my anonymity makes you nutty, but i find it easier to say these things without my name... SORRY :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your honesty and kindness. I wont lie and say your anonymity frustrates me just a little, but I think more than that, these comments are very encouraging. Thanks for taking the time to read, listen and think about what I have to say, and to encorage also. I hope that one day you'll trust me enough to say these things to me un-anonymously, but until then, please keep reading and leaving comments :)
ReplyDeleteEven I am frustrated by the scandelous mystery of this anonymous commenter...ha.
ReplyDeleteBut BECKIE baby, so dont apologise for using song lyrics and books to blog on, it's YOUR blog, and reflecting on song lyrics about Jesus can never be a bad thing. What you've said is awesome and encouraging, there are just some songs which totally melt you aye, which break you, make you, remind you of what your about or what Gods about...it's a good thing! :) Definitely hard to lay all your smack down in front of God sometimes..he knows it all but admitting you want/need help and laying it out there....doesn't make it any easier...but when it does happen....breakthrough in amongst the tears. You're the woman Becky, this is a cool thing, stoked you have 'a song'. :)
p.s I couldn't be anonymous if I tried....you'd know it was me straight away by my ridiculous rambling, novel length comments. I have the inabliity to shorten and summarise.
ReplyDeleteReet out. :)
