As I washed up the dishes, before retiring to bed, I began to listen to some gospel music. The first song played was ‘This is the Air I Breathe’ then ‘Great is Your Mercy’ then ‘My Soul Says Yes’.
I’ve always been a lover of music, as there is a song for every occasion and mood. Songs can make you laugh, sing along with joy, dance and they can make you cry. The difference with worship music is that it conveys to our Almighty God exactly what our spirit wishes to say, or does it….? As I mentioned I’ve always loved music. As I listened tonight I thought is my soul saying ‘Yes’. Do I know what that really means to truly say ‘Yes’? Do I know what is required? Do I really want to do it ALL His way? Do I really think of God as being the ‘Air I Breathe’? What exactly is IT that is required?
This The Air I Breathe
To function, to maintain life, air is required. If that is cut off, ceased, life can no longer be sustained. In our walk we need to fan the flames burning within, earnestly. Seeking His face and presence at all times.
This is the air I breathe
This is the air I breathe
Your holy presence
Living in me
This is my daily bread
This is my daily bread
Your very Word
Spoken to me
And I... I'm desparate for you
And I... I'm lost without you
This is the air I breathe
Your holy presence
Living in me
This is my daily bread
This is my daily bread
Your very Word
Spoken to me
And I... I'm desperate for you
And I... I'm lost without you (eh hey, yeah)
REPEAT.
Just as we feed our physical bodies with breakfast, lunch and dinner, we need to feed our spirits with His Word and commune with Him.
Viewing these lyrics I wonder if I’m taking things serious enough with Yeshua HaMaschiach…am I acknowledging the Blood shed just for me. Am I hanging on to that cross and realising that when He rose again, that was just for me? He paid THE ultimate sacrifice. Is my effort enough or am I just taking His grace for granted.
Great Is Your Mercy
The other lyrics are as follows:
Great is Your mercy towards me
Your loving kindness towards me
Your tender mercies I see
Day after day
Forever faithful towards me
Always providing for me
Great is your mercy towards me
Great is your grace
(help me sing,help me sing)
Choir:
Great is your mercy towards me
Your loving kindness towards me
Your tender mercy I see
Day after day
I listened to other songs but these two are the ones that stood out to me the most. I give thanks for His grace and pray that by His grace I will live; I will thrive; I will excel and be led to the higher heights that we are ALL called to. As we listen to and sing songs and live our lives, may it all be done sincerely to YHWH. May we sing from the depths of our hearts and allow ourselves to be carried away and spoken to in that secret place. May we never be the same and each encounter leave us transformed every time.
I want to live; spiritually and physically.
God bless you. I remain Relentlessly Unapologetic, Unapologetically Marcia x
