Songs have a way of hitting me, and this one did today...

Chris Rice - Untitled Hymn (Come To Jesus)

Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!


Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!


And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!

Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!

O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!

And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!




That song was sung by our worship leader during Communion this morning, and on the screen during each verse they showed a different picture of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. It was so touching and really hit me. It seems that there are many times in life when these verses can apply.....recently I've been in the crying and falling stages, but have been able to find myself to the singing lately. I am hoping that soon I will be dancing and flying (figuratively, I want my soul to be so much at peace with my life that it's soaring to Heaven.....no, I'm not wishing to die yet!!!).....so I'm hanging out and waiting until I can dance and fly!!! (I feel that the time for that will be very soon!)
