I just love listening to this song. It just stirs up all different kinds of emotions inside of me and makes me want to get down on my knees and praise the Lord for being a part of my life.
“Overwhelm me, take me from this place and put in a place where you are. Overwhelm me, shake the ground I stand on, I want to be dependent on you. On you, Jesus.
“I stand before you king, filthy and unworthy, you still wash me clean, and say to me, my child, your worthy.
“I need to set my mind on things above, on the holines and glory of my god. In the heavens and in my heart who created a mountain and set a spark that grew into a flame, we burn deeply for you.
“Only you, Only you Lord!!!!!”
This song just fills me inside. Just makes me think that the Lord fills us with that desire to want him. He “sets that spark” that eventually grows into a flame, if we kindle it with our continued search for him and love. But, If we stop trying to learn more and walk with him daily, that spark would blow out.
My favorite part of that whole song is when it says “shake the ground I stand on, I want to be dependent on you.” How true is this. I know that I try to fix things on my own most of the time instead of running to the cross for help. Instead of getting down on my knees and praying for the Lord’s help! When the Lord shakes the ground we walk on and it becomes unsteady, he wants us to rely and lean on him. He wants us to need him.
Ahh… I just love it. I just can’t get my mind around things sometimes because I am in just awe from the little ways he speaks to me. If you are overwhelmed right now, it could be because the Lord is working on your heart… wanting you to take it to HIM and trust in Him that he can pull you through. The Lord never gives you more than you can handle! When you are feeling overwhelmed, it could be a good thing. He wants you to ask Him for help, not trying to fix it all by yourself.
Trust me, I am the first one to admit that I am this way. Trying to be a controlling self soother, when I really know that I can not do it on my own!! This takes a huge burden off of your own shoulders! The only way to look for help is UP!!!!
AMEN!!!!
