Lately I have been really obsessed with this song. What I love about this song is how small I feel when I listen to it, it uses words like "Child, carries, sustain, love, provide." The whole song is just about our reliance on God, and how much we need Him. Lot's of people would have a problem with that, (kind of like they have a problem with being chosen, not choosing). We like to be independent, we like to be strong! we like to be self reliant and self absorbed, and what humility does, is it breaks through all those poor excuses of living and tears them apart! it leaves us hanging- not even that, it leaves us free falling. . . Down, down, down, to the point where we yearn for security, we yearn to stand on firm ground, we desire to be comforted, to be safe! And the only thing that can catch us and give us that security, that firm ground is a relationship with God our Father through Jesus Christ.
The other night I was driving down View High- one of the highest points of Lee's Summit, I'm told- And anyway I was driving down View High in a lightening storm, and guess what song came on... This song! I felt small, and very weak, yet still carried in the arms of my Lord! It was very peaceful.
It is well with my soul.
