Tuesday Reverie

Though our weather here in Virginia has been exceptionally mild and gentle this summer, it seems to have been one of those "long, hot summer's" when it's come to news and events.  We've watched apocalypse-like events unfolding in the Mideast, strife at home, an uncertain economy, and a widespread angst simmering just beneath the the collective surface.  Each one of us could benefit from hearing our Lord speak peace upon our angry seas.

 Every once in awhile, a song comes along that captures my heart and emotion.  "Oceans" by Hillsong United did just this on this past Sunday morning.  Close your eyes, quiet your mind, and the song to play out. Be blessed by the melody and lyric...

You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand

I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise my soul will rest in your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and you won't start now

So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

I will call upon Your Name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine
