perspective 2

so this wasn't the song i thought i was posting next, but it's been circling in my mind. again, if you know it, try to refrain from singing it to yourself as you read the words - view it through the lens of worship, but with a cool twist - HE is singing to us... i love the passionate pursuit and desire for deep intimacy that this song conveys - especially from His perspective... "The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing." - zephaniah 3:17

it’s by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done
to be so in love with you and so alone

follow Me where I go
what I do and who I know
make it part of you to be a part of Me
follow Me up and down
all the way and all around
take My hand and say you’ll follow Me

it’s long been on My mind
you know it’s been a long, long time
I’ve tried to find the way that I can make you understand
the way I feel about you and just how much I need you
to be there where I can talk to you
when there’s no one else around

you see I’d like to share My life with you
and show you things I’ve seen
places that I’m going to
places where I’ve been
to have you there beside Me and never be alone
and all the time that you’re with Me
we will be at home

I love this, especially the last two lines "and all the time that you’re with Me we will be at home."
There is something that resonates with me when I read that, something that is just so powerful in those words.
