Psalm 31:14-15a “But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in your hands…”
Thinking about time last night and this morning, when is it going to be my time? My time for financial stability? My time for love? How long, O Lord, how long? But faith is believing in what is unseen and knowing/trusting that God is doing what is best.
When I start to get weary and my faith gets weak, I love to pull out this song from Kirk Franklin. And I’m manually typing it out just to reiterate the lyrics to myself….
“Hide Me”
I know you see us
I know you hear us
I know you feel us when we pray
You understand us
See deep inside us
Translate tears and take them away
I’mma be honest
There are times
Your ways and methods
I don’t understand
You seem so far
Tell me who you are
I know your touch, but can’t see your plan
I’m lost in this thing called life
Left to me now feels right
It’s your turn now
I wanna be where you are
Hide me
Let me live behind you
‘Cause I need,
Shelter from the rain
Remind me
The only way my faith can grow is when you let your winds blow
You’re making me stronger now
So please, don’t go away
Don’t go away
I admit
it’d be nice
to have some light shine down on me
Especially when what I shall be
you don’t always let me see
It ain’t easy
But I’m trying
Hard to get out of your way
To believe what you say
Let my change begin today
The road includes some pain
And to grow you need some rain
And when it falls
I wanna be where you are
Hide me
Let me live behind you
‘Cause I need,
Shelter from the rain
Remind me
The only way my faith can grow is when you let your winds blow
You’re making me stronger now
So please, don’t go away
Don’t go away
‘Cause there’s so much I see
Needs to grow inside of me
In the fire I realize
Before I lived, I had to die
Please believe me when I say
I can’t waste another day
It’s so easy to complain
But complain don’t make a change
Not the victim anymore
All the things God has in store
If I ain’t ready don’t let the rain go away
(chorus starts again... This is my fave part! Kirk’s ad libs though!)
Jesus
Can I just hang out behind you?
It’s cold out here in this rain
You’re making me stronger now…
It don’t feel good right now, but I had to realize
You’re making me stronger now…
It’s necessary; you’re trying to grow me up
You’re making me stronger now…
You’re taking away everything that’s not like you. Jesus
You’re making me stronger now…
It’s that breaking process y’all
You’re making me stronger now…
Your delay is not a denial. I realize
You’re making me stronger now…
You love me too much to give me too much, Jesus
You’re making me stronger now…
Your plan is perfect even when I’m not. I realize
You’re making me stronger now…
I can’t rely on my own strength this time y’all. Come on
You’re making me stronger now…
I cry when I worship
The times when it was rent money
Forgiving my enemies
When daddy walked out
When mama gave me up
Everybody that gave up on me
I need to write you a thank you letter
‘Cause you made me
Whoo! Jesus, I thank you
I can see clearly now
I didn't understand it at first
I even got mad at you
‘cause you were taking too long
But I’m sorry Daddy
Your ways are not my ways
Whoo!
I felt that, I felt that….
This song, all day!
Happy Friday!
Here's the video!
