Just a Tuesday Night

To say that my life has been anywhere close to normal recently would be a lie. It's been far from normal. But life is happening and I am along for the ride.

It's tough and it's messy, but it's real and it's good.

The opportunities to really breathe and to just be are few and far between. But tonight, that opportunity came and for that I am beyond thankful.

After Bible Study, Sydney and I went to Tuesday Night Worship. Tuesday Night Worship, for those who don't know, is an hour of worship and prayer every week at a church on Franklin Street. It's an extremely simple, yet beautifully intimate, time.

Tonight, it was just what I needed and a time to encounter the Lord.

Typically, I'm familiar with most of the songs that we sing, but not tonight. Tonight there were multiple songs that I had never heard before... but they were good and their words resonated deeply with my soul, so I want to share.

I Don't Know

When I was a baby You held me close

When I was just a child You showed me the way I should go

When I'm old and grey you'll never leave me

You're right by my side

How am I gonna thank You

If I can't get my arms around You

But I know that You saved me, But I don't know, I don't know 

How far you had to reach

I swim in your deep love, But I don't know, I don't know

How wide or how deep

I know that you're good, Lord, But I don't know, I don't know

Why you're so good to me

Dance With Me

Behold You have over the hills upon the mountain

To me, You will run. My Beloved, You've captured my heart. 

Won't You dance with me, 

Oh Lover of my soul, 

To the song of all songs 

With You, I will go

You and my Love, You are my Fair One

The winter has passed and the springtime has come 

Won't You dance with me,
Oh Love of my soul,

To the song of all songs,

Romance me, O Love of my soul,

To the song of all songs

Continue to Love Me

Continue to love me, With that same love

Righteous and unchanging 

Continue to love me, With that same love

Priceless and unfailing 

Your love it reaches to the sky

Your righteousness, a mountain high

How priceless, Your unending love

Both high and low among men

Take cover under Your wings

How priceless, Your unending love

Heavenly Father, thank You for loving me and for night's like tonight. Thank You for new songs and thank You for intimacy with You. My prayer is for continued reliance on You and Your truths. Amen.
