Music of the Heart

I am a huge fan of music. If you were to walk into my life at any point, you are almost guaranteed to hear some tunes! I love to sing, listen, dance, and play music. In my opinion, it is one of the most wonderful aspects of creation! I love what music can do to my soul. It can change my mood at the drop of a hat and can also bring me to my knees at the throne of my Savior in an instant. There have been more times than I can count where a particular lyric or song has brought me to tears. Music has a way of expressing what simple words can't. It is literally wired into my very circuitry. Because of that, I'm often touched so deeply by certain songs. Tonight is one of those nights, so I thought I would share! My "song of the night" is "You Are For Me" by Kari Jobe. Here are the lyrics:

So faithful
So constant
So loving and so true

You fill me
You see me
You know my every move
You love for me to sing to You

I know that You are for me
I know that You are for me
I know that You will never
Forsake me in my weakness

And I know that You have come down
Even if to ride upon my heart
To remind me who You are

So patient
So gracious
So merciful and true
So wonderful in all You do

You fill me
You see me
You know my every move
And You love for me to sing to You

And Lord, I know that You are for me
I know that You are for me
I know that You will never
Forsake me in my weakness

And I know that You have come down
Even if to ride upon my heart
To remind me

I know that You are for me
I know that You are for me
I know that You will never
Forsake me in my weakness

And I know that You have come down
Even if to ride upon my heart
To remind me who You are

You remind me

I know that You are for me
I know that You are for me
I know that You will never
Forsake me in my weakness

And I know that You have come down
Even if to ride upon my heart
To remind me who You are


I just love the reminders that flow out of this song. Our GOD- Creator of the universe, is FOR us. He knows everything about us. He chose to come down from the glorious heavens, humbled himself & died an excruciating death to pay for a penalty that wasn't his to pay. If that doesn't bring you to your knees, I don't know what will :) And to know that the God that did all that, is for me....well, it certainly compels me to worship. I'm so undeserving of that kind of love. But day in and day out, He is still the same loving, faithful, just God- even when I have barely given Him a thought that day. Unworthy. That's what I am. Unworthy, but so so grateful. Thank you Lord for reminding me of who you are...even when I don't deserve anything from you. Thank you....thank you.....thank you!
