Do you have those songs that just move you??....Do you have those songs that just put you in a certain place regardless of the actual place and time? Regardless of what your answer is...I know my answer is YES!
This past Sunday Peter and I woke up early to go to church in the AM, well we always go to church in the AM so that wasn't out of the ordinary and we were running late which also wasn't out of the ordinary! But as soon as we walked in the doors I heard MY song. The congregation was singing MY song...and having a nice moment while Peter and I were scrambling trying to find a seat. I started to panic a little because I was missing this delightful opportunity to sing MY song...and I was soo bummed we couldn't find a seat. So we went across the street into an overflow room..and as we were crossing the street I nearly started to cry simply because I thought I had missed my beautiful moment to sing MY song alongside all these people. I dragged my feet and literally told Peter I wanted to go home...sounds sooo childish now and lets be honest I can be childish. My husband kindly responded to my childish outburst by stating that they sing the same songs in the overflow room, while I pouted and stated that they did NOT. Well my husband was right and MY song was coming through the doors of the overflow room.
I remember hearing this song on the radio AGES ago and loving it soo much that I played it one night at my bible study. And then the song just kept coming up - my lovely friend Meg had someone sing it at her wedding, I put the song on the video I made for my final school project, someone mentioned how they had sang the song at a conference.
Anyhow, this song moves me...I don't know why, but it just does...along with soo many other songs we sang at church on Sunday such as Be my Everything and Be thou My vision. Be My everything reminds me of my dear friend Serenus and Belfast...and my desire to cry out to the Lord for Him to be my everything and Be Thou My vision reminds me of August 15, 2009 - the day Peter became my husband - and when we sang that song during the ceremony. Songs take me back to a place and time...they remind me of how far I have come...they remind me of precious moments in my life. I could go on and on, but I won't...so without further ado here is the song you have been waiting for!
So...I was driving home today across 520 and was actually listening to this song on the radio! The timing of the song was so perfect b/c I was looking at the Cascades and Mt Rainier dusted in snow and the sun shining on the lake. It was so gorgeous and just one of those moments where God and his glory surrounded me and filled me up. Love that song - it never fails to give me goosebumps. :)
