perspective 1

this is the first of several posts where i plan to take traditionally secular songs and view them through the lens of worship. if you know the song - try to refrain from singing it in your mind while you read it - let your spirit absorb the words.

i've chosen this one first for 2 reasons - katie thought to view this artist's songs through this lens a couple of years ago - and then paula and i were in lifeway last night, and i actually found this one released as a worship song, covered by travis cottrell on the cd, "found".

You fill up my senses
like a night in the forest
like the mountains in springtime
like a walk in the rain
like a storm in the desert
like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
come fill me again

come let me love You
let me give my life to You
let me drown in Your laughter
let me die in Your arms
let me lay down beside You
let me always be with You
come let me love You
come love me again

-- annie's song, written by john denver
