I ain’t doing nothing special, but God is so present.
I can’t seem to pray or even open my bible or count my thousand gifts.
These rituals used to fill me with joy each morning.
I didn’t do it because someone told me to, I just did it because I could.
Now, I can’t.
I sit in a sacred space.
In grief.
In silence.
Within myself.
God pours himself out.
Through people.
Through nature.
Loudly.
All over and around me.
I watch.
I wait.
I remain open.
To see how he will pick up the broken pieces of my heart and my life.
I receive an email then another.
One says you need to see these lyrics.
Another one says you need to listen to this song.
BOTH SONGS ARE EERILY SIMILAR!
One woman lives in Leduc, the other Oyama.
They don’t even know each other.
How could this be?
God loves.
God lives.
God speaks.
These women listened and acted.
I sure didn’t do anything special.
The irony continues…
Here’s the lyrics and song if you are interested:
The song about oceans…and the lyrics to another song:
In your ocean, I’m ankle deep
I feel the waves crashin’ on my feet
It’s like I know where I need to be
But I can’t figure out, yeah I can’t figure out
Just how much air I will need to breathe
When your tide rushes over me
There’s only one way to figure out
Will ya let me drown, will ya let me drown
Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, ’cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I’m in reach
‘Cause I am down on my knees, I’m waiting for something beautiful
Oh, something beautiful
And the water is risin’ quick
And for years I was scared of it
We can’t be sure when it will subside
So I won’t leave your side, no I can’t leave your side
Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, ’cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I’m in reach
‘Cause I am down on my knees, I’m waiting for something beautiful
Oh, something beautiful
In a daydream, I couldn’t live like this
I wouldn’t stop until I found something beautiful
When I wake up, I know I will have
No, I still won’t have what I need
Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, ’cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I’m in reach
‘Cause I am down on my knees, I’m waiting for something beautiful
Oh, something beautiful
