Like incense

Sophie - December 27, 2010

I'm really trying not to become some sort of bloggy DJ (I realize that I've posted a good bit of music lately), but my heart has been especially touched by worship music this Christmas season. In fact, for the last couple of weeks I haven't been able to sing the first five words of "Come, thou long expected Jesus" without getting all choked up, so I think it's safe to say that the music has been speaking to me on a deeper level than usual.

At least I hope that's what it is. As opposed to, you know, being on the verge of some sort of year-end hormonal surge.

Anyway, we sang this Brooke Fraser Lightwood song at church yesterday, and I cannot think of better, more timely lyrics to prepare our hearts for a new year. The second verse alone just wrecks me:

Your statutes are my heritage forever
My heart is set on keeping Your decrees
Please still my anxious urge toward rebellion
Let Love keep my will upon its knees

Oh, y'all. That's just GOOD.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy listening to this song (as opposed to reading my ramblings about it); it was a huge encouragement to me yesterday morning.

Hope you have a wonderful week!

Thank you Lifeway women needed that it is an encouragement to Oh God You are My God and I will ever Praise You I will seek You in the morning. Thanks again Carol
