"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."
Psalm 16:11
"God comes to our lonely, anxious hearts and whispers our name. God says "I see both the fear you have of closeness and the deep longing you have to belong. I have come to comfort you and to respond to your need. I have been seeking a relationship with you. You belong. You belong to me. You are my child."
A lot of songs that Rebecca does hits deeply with me. This song is no different.
The first stanza is where I have been for close to two years. Not saying I have completely moved on from stanza one.
No.
Feelings or lack there of are still a big issue for me.
But, I am so much closer to entering into the last stanza then ever before.
From the deep I cry
I am needing change in my life
I have let the cold creep in and lock my ability to feel (deeply) Just now a shaft of light shot through my soul
Opening up the windows and the doors
Reaching to the corners and my flaws
Showing my need
Chorus:
I'm running out of time to live
Running out of love to give
Running out of life within
God help me
God help me
I don't care who stares
Never want to be where I have been again
Grace has taken over and drawn me in and I am embracing it
'Cause now I see Your light drawing me close
Overwhelming love I don't deserve
But I'll take the hope You bring, You hold it out to me
Without You
I am glad you liked the award I have given you. This post is awesome. I tend to "not feel." However, it's really a matter of "stuffing" my emotions. They're there it's just that I don't express or admit they are there. Somewhere deep inside they are still there and then when I am ready I will blow, usually into a crying schizophrnic eposide! Christian songs are great. Thanks for sharing this one, it really speaks to me.
Can I ask you something? Are you male or female? Not that it's really important. However, I just realized I didn't know when I gave you the award. I am not saying I wouldn't have given you the award if you weren't the right gender, I just never noticed before until I had to write she or he when I was writing about you in my post!
Yes, I agree, this is a great song. It's the only one of hers I have on my ipod. I think it's good to have moments like these at times, they are often the ones that propel us forward! Hope you are feeling better and on top of things again
