I've been reminded lately of how much music helps give a voice to my thoughts. It also reminds me of truth at times when I'm deaf to the words of the Bible, my teachers, and my friends.
Lately my fall-back comfort tunes have been the reassuring ones like "Oh, How He Loves Us." A great tune. I recently rediscovered Skillet, too, and while my friend Flora and I drove and talked from Indy to Buffalo, we listened to their self-titled album at least six or seven times. Over the last couple days, chock full of the thick drama that is life at home, I've had their song "Safe With You" on repeat. So here are some awesome lyrics for your perusing pleasure, and if you're in the mood for a listen, check out the song too.
Learning inside
I will be safe with you tonight
You cause the smile
And the teardrops in my eyes
Locked inside your every movement
Will I stand or will I fall?
Trapped inside of your walls of glory
I am just as dead leaves fall
Safe with you
Safe with you
Chaos in my head
The whole universe is at rest
When I'm in your arms
Is when I feel the best
Locked inside your creative being
Whirling about your unfailing truth
Attacked with power by ferocious love
Salvation alone belongs to you
Safe with you
Safe with you
Lifting up my voice
To the God who really sees
The God who is consumed
With loving thoughts of me
The screaming winds
And the crashing of the oceans
Shifting sands and the changing of the seasons
As I stand in awe and wonder
Nothing in the world has prepared me for you!
Jesus, Jesus, I'm safe with you
Stay tuned for thoughts on a very interesting conversation I had on New Year's Eve. Calvinism revisited, with rather startling conclusions. Fun, fun, fun!
