Everything Under the Son
Because JESUS is my everything
Music
Friday, May 30, 2008
There is something about music that touches me like nothing else does. It reaches those deep recesses of my soul, and speaks to me in a language that seems as though it were meant just for me. I could sit for hours, probably days, listening to music, feeling the rhythm of my heart as it works in rhythm with the music. I love to ponder lyrics, and if you ask what some of my favorite songs are, you'll probably find that they are not necessarily the most catchy, popular tunes, but they are the ones whose lyrics speak straight to my soul.
As Natalie was preparing for her end-of-year program for Pre-K, we sang the songs over and over together. By the time the program rolled around, I could have participated up there with all of the adorable 5-yr-olds!
One song spoke especially loud to me...the lyrics went like this:
Beautiful! In the busy-ness, in the hustle and bustle of the everyday, in my brokenness, Jesus is ALWAYS the answer. Jesus is the solution to it all...He will provide strength for today, and hope for tomorrow!

One song spoke especially loud to me...the lyrics went like this:
Come to the water, refresh your soul.
Jesus is able to make your life whole.
Come, drink your fill of him, Water that Lives.
Into your weariness, new strength He gives.
Jesus is able to make your life whole.
Come, drink your fill of him, Water that Lives.
Into your weariness, new strength He gives.
Beautiful! In the busy-ness, in the hustle and bustle of the everyday, in my brokenness, Jesus is ALWAYS the answer. Jesus is the solution to it all...He will provide strength for today, and hope for tomorrow!
