My Soul Sings

My Soul Sings

(Bethel Live featuring Brian Johnson)

Open my eyes to see

The wonderful mystery of love

Falling into you

I'm drawn to the gravity of love

We're standing still in a moment of eternity

Where worlds collide and I feel the breath of heaven over me

My soul sings [x3]

How I love you [oh I love you]

Open the page and see

The wonderful history of love

I start and end with you

I'm pulled by the gravity of love

It is incredible to me how music can completely pull me back into the presence of God. I never purposely stray from His presence, but it is easy to stray sometimes. Life pretends to give us no time for God sometimes, but the truth is, there is always time for God.

I just need to stop busying and distracting myself, because honestly, who really WANTS to be out of the presence of God? I don’t. I walk away from times with God feeling refreshed and renewed and I start to feel sparks of the passion I feel I have slowly lost over the years. And yet so much time seems to pass in between “meetings” with God. So my current desire is to wake up and listen to one of the thousands of songs we sing to God and spend time writing about it and being with God.

“[A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.] O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.”- Psalm 63:1

I went to Bible Gateway to look up a Bible verse and this happened to be the verse of the day. I think it fits really well with what I got out of the song. My soul sings out when I seek him. His love draws us in when we are searching for him. He waits with arms for us to come him and say, “My Soul Sings, Oh, How I love you God. Most of the time we wait for times when we are completely drained and empty. Then we come to God and ask him to fill us. I am beginning to truly understand that if I spend time with Him and talk to Him every day, it is impossible to ever be truly empty.

My prayer today is that I would set aside my life for times with God each day. I can’t promise that I will be able to be in a perfect routine right away, but I can Promise that I will be working towards that. I long to be in his presence and I am the only thing stopping me.
