My Savior...

Tonight we were driving in the car and this song came on. It is one of my favorites and I always tear up a little when I hear it because it is so true. I haven't had a lot of time to pray lately and spending time with the Lord has been sporadic. Life is good but hard and bittersweet in so many ways. I take what time I can to talk to Jesus and I sang this song to Him. I knew when I got home I would want to read the lyrics again because I get so caught up between hearing and believing. So I thought I'd share them with you. For those that know me you know this song hits hard for a number of reasons but I pray that all of you who read this find love and peace in the arms of Jesus today.

Voice of a Savior
Mandessa sings it and I think it is written by Matthew West

Some people try to listen, to the bottom of a bottle
Some people try to listen, to a needle in their arm
Some people try to listen, to the money in their pocket
Some people try to listen, to another’s arms

You and I are not that different
We got a void and we’re just trying to fill it up
With something that will give just a little peace
All we want is a hand to reach to
Open arms that say I love you
We’d give anything to hear
The voice of a Savior

Some people try to find it with blind ambition
Some people try to find it where no one else has gone
Some people try to find it in the crowns of victory
Some people get defeated and lose the strength to carry on

Some people try to find it in the shadow of a steeple
Some people try to find it in the back row pew
Some people try to find it in the arms of Jesus
That’s where I found it, how about you?

Amen and Amen.
You and I we aren't so different. Here's to giving people the benefit of the doubt and keeping our judgement to ourselves. A reminder that the ground is level at the foot of the cross is always a welcome one to me, Thank you, Jesus.
