It's just You and me.

I have been on an incredible David Crowder Band kick lately. My friend Chris was OBSESSED with the band a couple years back and got me hooked, but the cds were replaced by newer bands and different music and so forth. I was looking through my old cds the other day and ran across my DCB collection. Such amazing lyrics and worship. I seem to have a certain song that kind of moves my day and I just stick it on repeat.
There's been a heaviness that has been pressing on me lately. It's not exactly bad. I feel better than I have felt in quite a while. I've laughed harder than I have ever laughed since last summer. God has been phenomenal in showing how He is all I need. Not only that, but learning all over again how to just be with Him has been humbling and exciting! But there is this extreme weight. To lift burdens off of others. To pray 24/7 that the Holy Spirit will intercede with words I cannot find to alleviate the pain, illness, sorrow, depression, emptiness and much more that seems to lay heavy in the hearts of those that I love and cherish.
I turn to music. It's my outlet and my personal way that I feel closest to God. My way of praising Him, praying to Him, begging Him, surrendering to Him, laying myself before Him. Today I was driving home from a meeting and the sky was unbelievably brilliant. It was foggy clouds with breaking sun and patches of rainbow. "What a glorious day, today! How great Your love for us, how great!" - DCB
I was listening to "Only You" by DCB and I hit the repeat button for half an hour. I closed my eyes (split second!) and raised my hands in complete worship for Him.
You see we are so worried, or at least I am, about the steps that we are taking and if they are leading to the right direction. We look into the future and say today is the day that will set the course for tomorrow. And while there may be truth in that, there is something so precious we look over. TODAY!!! I am so guilty of it. I feel like I need to read extra long in my Bible because I had a negative attitude instead of simply adoring His words to me. I say that this year God is preparing me so that I can be at a different place next year. What trash! Not that He is not preparing you, but what if yesterday was preparation for today and we are so worried about getting tomorrow right that we skip it? Mind boggling I know, but nonetheless.
I was driving and listening to this song and God placed so much peace on me. I lifted up prayers for loved ones and knew that God answered them in His perfect, loving way. I want every moment to be Only You Lord. I want it to be just You and me.
"Take my fret, take my fear, all I have, I'm leaving here.
Be all my hopes, be all my dreams, be all my delights, my everything.
And I will, worship, You Lord, only You Lord.
And I will, bow down, before You, only You Lord.
And it's just You and me."
