Tonight as I was pulling out my Christmas music I came across a CD with a song on it that I sang last Christmas at Parkview's Christmas Program. It's a song called "Here With Us" by Joy Williams. I quickly put it into my CD player and as soon as I started listening to it I started crying. I was overwhelmed with the memories of singing this song with the orchestra and choir. The memories of singing out Hallelujah and feeling the Spirit overtake me, making my legs weak. It was an amazing experience. I miss that feeling...of being on stage...worshiping Jesus...being overwhelmed by the Spirit...singing out. This is such an amazing song....check it out and listen to it completely and listen to the words and feel yourself be overwhelmed by the Spirit. (Click on the link and then on the right hand side you will see a list of a few songs and click "Here With Us") I sometimes wish that I could go back and do it again.
All of those feelings came back as I listened to this song...I miss singing so much. I'm praying that God will give me opportunities to sing here in Austin. I'm waiting...and praying that my eyes would see where He is leading.
Here are the lyrics to this song...be blessed.
"It's still a mystery to me
That the hands of God could be so small
How tiny fingers reaching in the night
Were the very hands that measured the sky
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Heaven's Love reaching down to save the world.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Son of God, Servant King
Here with us, You're here with us
Still a mystery to me
How His infant eyes had seen the dawn of time
How His ears had heard an angel symphony
But still Mary had to rock her Savior to sleep
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Heaven's Love reaching down to save the world.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Son of God, Servant King
Here with us, You're here with us
Jesus the Christ
Born in Bethlehem
A baby born to save,
to save the souls of man
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Heaven's Love reaching down to save the world.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Son of God, Servant King
Here with us, You're here with us

goosebumps. Brings back many memories.
Gives me the shivers too. This song will be stuck in my head for days now. Don't be discouraged during this time of waiting! And don't forget that you can be praising him with your songs anywhere, anytime.
Em,
You can come back to Parkview and sing that any time you wish!!! :-)
