Lately my favourite is You Are Holy. Oh friends...I lurve it.
I always want to toss out some apologies when I hear the first few notes at church: to the people in front of me for my ghastly singing, and for those behind me who have to see my butt twitchin'.
I can't help it. I lose myself.
These days I am finding myself attacked in several areas of my life. When I find my mind going to hopeless and dark places, I pull out my ipod and try to fight back.
You Are Holy is my weapon at the moment. Have you heard it? There are two parts of the chorus, sung at the same time. Men sing one part and women sing the other.
The part we sing just puts my heart and mind back in focus as it should be.
In case you haven't heard it, the chorus goes like this:
You are Lord of Lords
You are King of Kings
You are mighty God
Lord of everything
You're Emmanuel
You're the great I Am
Noble Prince of peace
Who is the Lamb
You're my saving God
You're my saving grace
You will reign forever
You are ancient of days
You're the alpha, omega, beginning and end
You're my savior, messiah, redeemer, and friend
You are my prince of peace and I will live my life for you
Sigh.
I was listening to this song and praying for my friend while I was doing my dishes, asking Him why....when suddenly I heard the chorus go this way.
I am Lord of Lords
I am King of Kings
I am mighty God
Lord of everything
I am Emmanuel
I'm the great I am
I'm the prince of peace
Who is the Lamb
I'm your saving God
I'm your saving grace
I will reign forever
I am ancient of days
I'm the alpha, omega, beginning and end
I'm your savior, messiah, redeemer, and friend
I'm your Prince of Peace and I gave my life for you
Wow. What a God moment.
Just thought I'd share :-)
