Music pressing into my ears, this is the way I process. World shut out, words pouring in. Time to stand back, reflect, and listen.
And may this hope that reaches to the depths of human need
Be the song that I sing in joy and suffering
Drowning out all else, the words seep in and take hold. When the world is swirling and spinning, it is easy to mishear His voice, to doubt His presence, love and to cast aside His promises.
It might seem there's an ocean in between
But He's holding onto you and me
Blurred vision, I cease movement. Tears stream as I listen to the words.
How deep, how wide the love
That pierced His side, the love
Redemption's mine, oh love
That will not let me go
When the confusion takes over, when the questions become roars of doubts in my mind, steps backward are forced. To soak in the truths I know in my head but have forgotten in my heart.
When You don't move the mountains I'm needing You to move
When You don't part the waters I wish I could walk through
When You don't give the answers as I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You!
Brutal love and grace that holds on. Even when my thoughts are confused, my feelings unsure, He is sure, steady.
If I told you my story
You would hear life overcome the grave

Music is such a precious gift from God, isn't it? A place where heaven and earth seem to meet. Sometimes when my heart is too heavy or confused to form the thoughts or words, a song says exactly what I needed to hear and acknowledge. Thanks for sharing, Kaylyn. <3
