She's the bee's knees and I am the cat's meow.

You wrote a letter and You signed your name
I read every word of it page by page
You said that You'd be coming, coming for me soon
Oh my God I'll be ready for You

I want to run on greener pastures
I want to dance on higher hills
I want to drink from sweeter waters
In the misty morning chill
And my soul is getting restless
For the place where I belong
I can't wait to join the angels and sing my heaven song

I hear Your voice and I catch my breath
'Well done my child, enter in and rest'
Tears of joy roll down my cheek
It's beautiful beyond my wildest dreams
 

I want to run on greener pastures
I want to dance on higher hills
I want to drink from sweeter waters
In the misty morning chill
And my soul is getting restless
For the place where I belong
I can't wait to join the angels and sing... 

 

Some of the most beautiful Lyrics I've read in a very long time.

 

Phil Wickham - Heaven Song

These past few days have been pretty busy, I have been in this lousy funk.  I wish I could explain it.  It seems as if the more God is there and He is trying to work in me and with me, the more I am like, uhh...  Not now God.  

How Remarkable...  The fact that THE Lord and Savior, wants me! Yet typically, I won't give Him the time of day.  Who am I?  Why is it that when He is there urging me to come close to Him that I will before seeking Him, go do ANYTHING else.  I know how sweet He is, how wonderful it is to be in close unison to Him, yet I consume my time with 'junk'.  

"JUNK" - Work, Friends, Family, Texting, Games, BLOGGING, Sleeping, etc.  the list can go on endlessly I assure you!

You will be safe in His arms
'Cause the hands that hold the world are holding your heart
This is the promise He made
He will be with You always
When everything is falling apart
You will be safe in His arms 

Phil Wickham - Safe

 

More true words have never been spoken.  Oh how I know that I am safe in His arms, His very presence and words calm my every fear and anxiety.  He is so good to me.  His love encompasses all fear and pain.  His very presence turns evil away.  Yet why can't I just hold tight to that?  It's like I am constantly trying to get away from that.  What is wrong with being protected, and letting Him do it all for me?  

it’s time to hold your shield,
it’s time to draw your sword,
let’s lead the resistance,
oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, it’s time.
Yeah it’s time.
The time is now, for lifting souls.
The time is now, for letting go.
From your skin, to your core.
Let light, and love, come rushing through the door.

 

Phil Wickam - The Time is Now

When are we going to get over our own problems and tribulations and start to 'pick up our shields and swords' and start pouring light and love onto this dark world that so desperately desires it?  When are we going to lay down ourselves, and start living for the millions of souls that don't know Him?  What does it cost us?  Our lives?  Seriously?  We are going to heaven it's not our souls we should be worried about, it's those who we are afraid to speak up to.  How real is that?

 

 

 

 O God, thou art my God; earnestly will I seek thee: My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee, In a dry and weary land, where no water is.  So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary, To see thy power and thy glory.  Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise thee.  So will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.  My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips; 

Psalms 63:1-5

My life has been sucking lately, if you find it in your time pray that I will just continue to seek him.  In this dry and weary land where there is no water.  I know I have seen Him in the sanctuary, I have beheld His power and His Glory.  I KNOW His love is better than life, this is why I continue to praise Him with my Entirety.  I know He can deliver me, and I know He will deliver me.

Thanks!

Love You Guys!
