Hymn...

When we were at Willow God totally used a song to reveal a little more of Himself and His love for me. We had been praying just before that and the words of the song washed over me, saying exactly what my heart had been trying so hard to express. Afterwards, I couldn't remember the words to the song, but remembered totally what I had been praying. Now, I know the words to the song (thank you google), but have forgotten exactly what I was praying. What I do remember is that it reflected the heart of the song soooo precisely that I felt as though I had been given a gift. As if God were saying...I know exactly what you mean...here listen to this...and I melted in that moment. Melted in the arms of my Love and my Savior. Melted in a way that I hadn't in far too long of a time. And now, even though my precise words are caught in the heart of my Lord and only vaguely remembered by me, when I hear that song it's a reminder of that moment....and my heart melts again.

Hymn
Brooke Fraser

If to distant lands I scatter
If I sail to farthest seas
Would You find and firm and gather
'Til I only dwell in Thee
If I flee from greenest pastures
Would You leave to look for me
Forfeit glory to come after
'Til I only dwell in Thee
If my heart has one ambition
If my soul one goal to seek
This my solitary vision
'Til I only dwell in Thee
That I only dwell in Thee
'Til I only dwell in Thee
