Worship You

You take me in your arms and you carry me

You shower me with tender affection

How my heart overflows with your loving kindness...

You are faithful

when the sun rises and when it sets

Your steadfast hand guides my steps

Promise Keeper,

you inscribe your beautiful word in my heart.

My Firm Foundation

My Hiding Place

My Victory

My spirit longs for more of you.

So,

Until my cup is filled and running over,

I worship you.

Until you are like a river, a spring in my spirit,

I worship you.

Until the end of my days...

I worship you.

I was up late the other night. I couldn't sleep. I was restless. That doesn't happen to me often. Frustrated that I couldn't fall asleep (sleep is a precious thing when you have children lol) I sat up and all of a sudden I just felt this need to worship. I knew I couldn't throw on music and worship, it was late, my husband was asleep, my kiddos where asleep, and I wasn't going to wake them up. Our home was peaceful and quiet. So, I sat there wondering "okay, how do I do this". Then I remembered I sometimes keep a notebook in my bedroom, for moments that I feel like I need to write thoughts down. I knew I wasn't going to be able to rest until I relieved my spirit of this desire to worship right there in that moment. In the quiet, in the peace, in the stillness of the night. I closed my eyes, let myself meditate on God's ardent love for me, and how he romances me when I worship. I poured out my worship, and my heart spilled onto paper.
You don't need fancy lights, and smoke. You don't even always need instruments and loud music. Learn to worship God when everything is stripped away, and it is just you and Him. Sweet friend, He desires intimacy with you. His devotion to you is unwavering. His love for you undying. Can I sway you to quiet the noise for a moment? And worship the one who showers you with tender affection.
