Mercy Me...What a Night!

Last night Sara and I went to a concert with Mercy Me and friends--Bebo Norman and Amy Grant. In the end it was so much more than a concert. It was more than simply entertainment. The night became a beautiful time of worship. It is always so amazing and encouraging to be in a place in which thousands of people are singing praise to God. I was touched and encouraged by the message conveyed through their music and words but it seems difficult to express the magnitude of those moments in such a simple post. The love God has for you and for me is so much more than I could ever fathom or imagine. One of my favorite songs which was not performed last night is titled "In You." I would like to share the lyrics:

I put my hope in you
I lay my life in the palm of your hand
I'm constantly drawn to you O Lord
In ways I cannot comprehend

It's the creator calling the created
The maker beckoning the made
The bride finding what she's always waited for
When we find ourselves that day

Chorus:
In you where the hungry feast at the table
The blind frozen by colors in view
The lame will dance, they'll dance for they are able
And the weary find rest
O the weary find rest in you

It's no secret that we don't belong here
though set apart by the grace of you
We look for the day when we go to a place
Where the old becomes brand new

Chorus:
In you where the hungry feast at the table
The blind frozen by colors in view
The lame will dance, they'll dance for they are able
And the weary find rest
O the weary find rest in you....

Where the hungry feast at the table
The blind frozen by colors in view
The lame will dance, they'll dance for they are able
And the weary find rest
O we will find rest in you

There is LIFE with God in Christ! The hungry will feast, the thirsty will drink, the weary will find rest...all will be transformed. The Creator beckons the Created to find life in Him. Will we choose to remain satisfied living in the famine or will we allow God to open our eyes to the reality of the feast!

God, Thank you for the transformation that comes through life in You. Thank you for the invitation to feast at your table. And Father, thank you that even in the times we may still choose famine over feast and we become tired and weary, we can fall into your arms and find rest in you.

To God be the Glory
