"To You, O Lord, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if you be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit. Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your most holy sanctuary. Do not drag me off with the wicked, with the workers of evil, who speak peace with their neighbors while evil is in their hearts. Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their deeds; give to them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward. Because they do not regard the works of the Lord or the work of their hands; He will tear them down and build them up no more. Blessed be the Lord! For He has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy. The Lord is my strength and my shield; in Him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to Him. The Lord is the strength of His people; He is the saving refuge of His anointed. Oh, save Your people and bless Your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever."
He wants me! He hears my plea, my surrender. My gratitude is weak.
Will I cling to the Rock? Will I surrender? Will I give up because I can't do it? Do I look for the fingerprints of God in this day? Am I looking for strength from someone or something other than God? Will I rest, trust, and believe and let Daddy carry me on His strong shoulders?
What's it gonna take to make me that desperate?

the joys of Pandora :o)
so i've been listening to Pandora a lot lately and I have the Kari Jobe station playing this week-- i fall in love with lyrics quite frequently..but some i just can't help but share! so here is In Your Arms by Meredith Andrews!
I'm turning the world off
Embracing the silence
Walking away from all the voices
That are screaming in my ear
I've been to caught up
I've been so stressed out
And all of the noise replaced the whisper
That used to be so clear
So I close every door
And put my face back on the floor
And I'm in Your arms
Where I belong
There's no other place for me
Than right where You are
Some things just don't change
When I call Your name
You never hesitate to wrap me in endless grace
When I'm in Your arms
I'm letting my fears go
Giving You control
For You are the One who holds me closer
In my soul's darkest night
Everything I see
Is so temporary
So help me to run the race before me
With eternity in sight
Now I close every door
And put my face back on the floor
And I'm in Your arms
Where I belong There's no other place for me
Than right where You are
Some things just don't change
When I call Your name
You never hesitate to wrap me up in endless grace
When I'm in Your arms
To sit at Your feet
At Your table of mercy
To gaze on Your beauty, my Lord
To drink from Your well
And be changed by Your glory
How could I ask for more?
Jesus, how could I ask for more?
Than to be in Your arms
Where I belong
There's no other place for me
Than right where You are
Some things don't change
When I call on Your name
You never hesitate to wrap me in endless grace
When I'm in Your arms
I feel like this song describes where I'm at right now. Hallelujah that God continuously wraps me in His endless grace!
