Tonight IT started, i think - I was actually in the kitchen (not cooking, no need to call 911). I was cutting strawberries, and just started...with one, and then the next, and just kept rolling. I didn't even come out to play the actual song accompaniment tracks until about half-way through. I ended up singing all the songs in the order that they will be on the CD...it was really just a time of worship until the last one. oops!!
The last song, Shine, happens to have a lot of lyrics. It is a fun one and I actually figured out how to growl -- HA HA!!! (funny because I'm so afraid of dogs) but it's the funnest thing, that growling is! It was the only song that I got lost on, instead of being lost IN. God is good though!
I'm getting excited to start on this new phase - the actual ministering of the songs and taking them forth. Though it is still quite something to grapple with, and though there are many more details to be worked out, I can't help but praise God for HIS goodness. It is overwhelming...HIS love and faithfulness! HE is awesome --
I went back to Psalm 18 last night - it is actually what The Rock is based on in part...though God didn't lead me there until after all the lyrics were written...funny how that happened. Most of the early songs would come all together with lyrics and melodies, and then God would show me/lead me to scripture that said the same thing.
The Rock - there actually was a rock in WV about 13 years when the song started...before i knew it was God - i had hiked up to this outcropping out by Beckley in some state park that was in the middle of South Nowhere, and was all alone - there was NO ONE around -- a frequent happening in many of my WV mother nature adventures...
I sat on this rock, and was so lost, and so sad, and really was really ready to fling myself off of it...i thought i had nothing to live for. I sat and watched this storm roll in, with leaves literally flying upwards, towards the sky - the clouds came in - thick, black - and the birds soared all above my head in the current - and all of a sudden I began singing...I wanted to fly away but something kept me from doing anything stupid...nothing but God - only i didn't realize it then --
That melody came back 10 years after it started...and now - that baby is born...like the woman who gives birth who is filled with joy - i haven't forgotten all the anguish, but it feels like it happened in another lifetime - and maybe that is because i am new! Amen!
He really did rescue me from myself, and from all my confusion, and brought me out of the depths of the deep blue sea. HE SAVED ME!!
Remember, God loves you most!
