Standing here in Your presence
In a grace so relentless
I am won
By perfect love

Wrapped within the arms of heaven
In a peace that lasts forever
Sinking deep
In mercy’s sea

I’m wide awake
Drawing close
Stirred by grace
All my heart is Yours
All fear removed
I breathe You in
I lean into Your love
Your love

When I’m lost You pursue me
Lift my head to see Your glory
Lord of all
So beautiful

Here in You I find shelter
Captivated by the splendor
Of Your face
My secret place

Your love so deep
Is washing over me
Your face is all I seek
You are my everything

Jesus Christ
You are my one desire
Lord, hear my only cry
To know You all my life

(We had the opportunity to see this wonderful group in concert a couple of months ago; the experience was awesome.)  I was working on some things this morning, and felt unrest start to creep in.  Peace is something that has been on the top of my priority list for the last year.  It seems that the more I sought it…and removed things from my life that threatened our peace…the more attacks we felt.  So this morning, when I began to feel unsettled, I started searching for songs…music has a way of reaching areas of the heart that other things can’t.  This song not only creates a sense of peace with the relaxing music, quiet strength, but the words penetrate the difficult place you may find yourself in.  Knowing that we can bask in His love and grace and that He removes all fear and replaces it with peace and His overwhelming love.

Take time this morning to rest in Him.
Rest in His love, mercy and grace.

Let’s pray: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the artists who create these beautiful songs. Songs that remind us of how deeply You love us. Songs that remind us of Your grace and mercy. Lord, I pray that today You wrap Your arms around us, and that we remember You are always near. In Jesus’ name, we pray, amen.
