Praise Him

In this time,
I know I need to be more broken
Then I find, I feel this passion grow
To face all that’s been lost
It’s not too late to give control now
I don’t know why I wait
You’re always calling me

Tonight, I will take my cross
Tonight, I will count this cost
Tonight, I will realize to take hold of this very moment

In this time, you draw me by these words You’ve spoken
I feel inside, this never-ending hope
I’ve placed all that I trust in knowing one day I will see You
The only thing worth holding onto is holding onto me

I will take this moment, and feel that it’s closer
And I kneel to show You this desperate heart of mine

-Jeremy Camp: Tonight

For someone as musically inept as myself, music has played a major role in who I am. Whether it's listening to a CD like above and praying the words or being in a concert hall listening to the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal. There is something about the essence of music which taps into my soul. Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised, the Bible mentions music quite often as a means of worshipping God and entering into His presence. I guess I should be thankful that He allows even the musically-challenged to appreciate the wonder of music!
