Oh Lord Your love...

By Caedmon's Call

Oh Lord I give You all I have

But it seems so little

When You've given me so much

I come to You with empty hands

and a heart that's fragile

You come to me with a wealth of love

Oh Lord Your love

is new with every morning

Your faithfulness

it gets me through the night

You bid me come

You know that i am weary

You're yoke is easy

Your burden is light

And now I sing Your songs of praise

But your greatness is beyond me

I know I cannot comprehend

How You, Ancient of Days

Stoop Yourself to call me

To be Your son, to be Your friend

Oh Lord Your love

Is new with every morning

Your faithfulness

It gets me through the night

You bid me come

You know that I am weary

Your yoke is easy

Your burden is light

Good morning.

It's so cool the way the music can help. Sometimes it is a catalyst for something God is trying to help me understand. Sometimes it is an encouragement. This morning it was a sobering comfort :) I had a nightmare just before I woke up. It was intense and left me feeling betrayed and angry with, of all people, Big Daddy. Terrible way to wake up. I was mulling over the details of the nightmare even as this song was playing in my head..the chorus was. I could hear it, but i wasn't "hearing" it. I let it get louder and my own thoughts get quieter. As i did, the words of the song just kind of washed over me, smoothing out my feelings so that i could see them for what they were...not based in fact...not worth choosing to be upset over. The words made me smile, reminded me of His love, His gentle way. I'm really blown away sometimes by how faithful He is to me. I know I do not deserve such care, but what less should I expect from a real Father?

Thank You Father for being concerned about my inner peace as much as my physical needs and my daily walk...You give so much more than I could ever understand.
