You always think I’m somewhere on a mountaintop
But never think behind bars
You’d be amazed the places that I go
To be with you, where you are

So forget what you’ve heard
What you think that you know
There’s a lot about Me
That’s never been told

I’m more than you dream
More than you understand
Your days and your times
Were destined for our dance
I catch all your tears
Burn your name on My heart
Be still and trust My plan
I’m more than you think I am
More than you think I am

Rumor has it there’s a gavel in My hand
I’m only here to condemn
But let Me tell you secrets you have never known
I think of you as My best friend

So much has been said
Even done in My name
But I’m showing you now
Who I really am

Let me open your eyes to see
The heart of Me, differently oh oh
Come closer than you’ve ever been
Let Me in like never before
Bring Me every broken part
The wounds and scars of who you are
Hide in Me and you will see

I am amazed when I think of how much we limit God.  How often we fit him into a small description and doubt the extent of His love for us.

I first heard this song several weeks ago and the words truck my heart.  What we think of Him is not what He is, it’s not who He is.  We place Him on a mountain far away, we make Him out to be a judgmental character waiting to catch us in a mistake.  When in reality He is here, next to us, mirroring our steps; wanting and waiting to love us.  Wanting us to take everything to Him, every fear, every worry, and every moment of joy.  Big or little, He wants it. Let the words of this song warm your heart; remember that He is more than we think He is, He is bigger than we think He is.  He loves harder and stronger than we think He does.  He is everywhere.  He knows everything and, despite that, He wants us.  Wants us to trust Him and draw near to Him.  He is more than society tells us He is and He is more then we feel He is at times.

Dear Lord, thank You for being the more we need.  Thank You for giving us more credit than we give You.  Thank You for forgiving us for placing limitations on You.  Remind us daily that You are more, You are the more we need in our lives.  In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
