More in my musical journey.

An Excerpt from the song A Breath or Two from
Not Without Love by Jimmy Needham

Simply stated simple minded love for you
Has simply been completely complicated
And I’m finding
This daily drudgery is finally catching up to me
Its time for this abandon to make much of you
And less of me

I want to breathe in
I want to breathe in and out again

I’m tired of putting one foot in front of the other
I’m weary of where it leads me too
I’m tired of moving on from my father
Make me rest my head and take a breath or two

O for a slower pace
Moving at the speed of sound sounds like a race to me
O to be at ease
Moving at the speed of sound gets hard on the knees

I have my Bible software set to open to a random verse. Today it opened to the Message version of Matt. 10:39, “If your first concern is to look after yourself, you’ll never find yourself. But if you forget about yourself and look to me, you’ll find both yourself and me.”

I guess it’s time to re-focus…

You know, when finances hit the fan…. it smells pretty much as bad as when that other stuff does…..

I feel like Moses trying to get water from a rock…. How many different ways can you tell a company, “I can’t afford to pay you right now”?

OK. So lately I’ve been in a song lyric mood…. actually, I always am (music is my life, life is music) - I’ve just decided to blog my musical journeys.

So, here you go. Another lyric to set my mood. While this song was sung for her child, and it is a fantastic song for any parent to listen to, I like to twist this around and imagine God saying this to me. (If you can imagine the God of the universe bending down and saying this to you, and it doesn’t make you choke up… I don’t know what will.)

Plumb - In My Arms from the album Blink

Clouds will rage and
Storms will race in
But you will be safe
In my arms
Rains will pour down
Waves will crash around
But you will be safe
In my arms
