There are two types of people in this world; one who just sing songs because they like the song, the artist, or the rhythm, then there are the people who listen and like the song because of the lyrics, what they mean, and what they mean to them personally. There are a couple songs that have been on my heart lately; the first one is a song by Hillsong United called You Hold Me Now.
“On that day when I see all that You have for me, when I see You face to face there surrounded by Your grace. All my fears swept away in the light of your embrace when Your love is all I need. And forever I am free.
Where the streets are made of gold, in Your presence here to hold, let these songs of heaven rise to you alone.
No weeping, no hurt or pain, No suffering You hold me now, You hold me now, No darkness no sick or lame, No hiding You hold me now, You hold me now.”
You Hold Me Now Hillsong United
Those words are so powerful, as Christians that is what we long for; for a day where there is no more pain, sorrow, grief, suffering; a day where all we do is worship God and not worry about money, our family, our friends, and our flesh. The first time I heard the lyrics to this song was a few months ago at Phoenix First the lines “No weeping, no hurt or pain, no suffering, you hold me know” they hit me like a bus running into me. I was so moved and had never wanted to be in Heaven so bad in my life.
We all know that song I Can Only Imagine by Mercy Me. I just want to let you read all of the lyrics. Some days I just hear this song and cry, because I truly cant imagine what I will do when I see God’s face. Like the song says will I stand there? Or fall to my knees? Will I be able to speak at all? We don’t know and once we know we will truly be able to worship him for eternity. I can honestly say that I cannot wait for that day. I will have nothing to worry about but to worship the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords!
“Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel, will I dance for you Jesus or in honor of you be still, will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall,
will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all. I can only imagine”
The next song is Save a Place for me by Matthew West. Within the first few lines of this song I cant help but think what life will be like in Heaven; “You know I bet it feels good to have the weight of this world off your shoulders now I'm dreaming of the day when I'm finally there with you.” Right now those few words, prayer, and God’s word is what is getting me through this right now. I know that someday I will see you again. I just don’t know when, the only one that does is God and I pray he comes soon.
When you feel like God has just thrown so much at you, and you don’t think that you can handle any more? Think again. The bible says that He will not give us more than we can handle. God has brought you and me here for a reason, he says that he will challenge us, and yes he does, but he will never give us more than we can handle. The more we learn to have this faith and trust in our God we will realize that! Myself included I need to take that extra step of faith, and give it all to God, everything, not just part of my life, but all of my life, and He will provide for me.
I was not planning on actually posting this; this was meant as just a way to vent and talk, then I felt that God told me that this might help someone that is out there feeling the same way. Just remember pray, pray, and then get down on your knees and pray some more.
God Bless
I love you all
