“He will light the way
He will lead us home
As we offer all
To the One who saves us”
The Lord woke me up with this song at 1:30 a.m. I had gone to bed with a rolling question that needed His answer. And although this didn’t answer the specific, it absolutely answered the deeper, greater questions. Are you with me? Have you got me?
I remembered as I woke up this morning and saw this scribbled on my mirror what the chorus of the song is:
His love endures. Forever His love endures.
To make it even sweeter, I had great memories of this song. He and I had just shared the most amazing time on Sunday morning with this song. I had to go in the back of church and just sing out and dance in worship of Him. When I sat down Chuck turned and asked me, “Did you just have a spell?” Smiling ear to ear, I nodded yes.
How tender of the Lord to use it again in the middle of the night. This is the beauty of worship. Jesus said that true worshipers would worship in spirit and in truth. I don’t think I understood that verse fully until today. Now I see that He planted that “truth” into my “spirit” on Sunday morning. And in the wee hours of Wednesday, He began harvesting its fruit. Worship is when His truth is deposited into our spirit. It is when our spirits are connected to His Spirit. It changes things in our present moments but also in our futures.
I had to abandon everything Sunday morning to get to that sweet spot with Him. The issues, the preferences, even the grumblings. I had to get to that place of intimacy that all I could see and feel was His presence. The great exchange… Breathe Him in. And watch Him pour back out when you need it most.
Bless you Lord for your amazing love.
The One Who Saves, by Hillsong
Come join the song, lift your voice
As Heaven and Earth give praise
Fall to your knees at the feet
Of the Son of the One true God
Turn from old ways, lift your eyes
For the kingdom of God is here
Open your heart, offer all
For Jesus Christ is here, now
We have found our home
We have found our peace
We have found our rest
In the One who loves
He will light the way
He will lead us home
As we offer all
To the One who saves us
Call on the name that is hope
Jesus, the Son of God
Lord over all, He is good
And His mercy endures always
His love endures
Forever His love endures
Forever His love endures
Forever and ever
