Lord it was You
You created the heavens
Lord it was Your hands,
That put the stars in their place.
Lord it was Your voice
That commands the morning
Even oceans and their waves bow at Your feet.....
Lord who am I
Compared to Your glory?
Lord who am I
Compared to Your majesty?
I am your beloved
Your creation
and you love me as I am
You have called me chosen
For your Kingdom
Unashamed to call me Your own
I'm your beloved
If any song brings me back to my college years of a fresh love for Jesus, a new commitment and a broken heart for God, this song brings me back to that time. I believe this was the first worship song that marked the beginning of a wave of romantic songs toward God, or was it just that I was having a new romance with Him at the time and everything seemed romantic... like that feeling of newness in a relationship when you are in the clouds and everything feels new and wonderful. It's been more than 10 years since I found out I truly was the beloved of God. Although I like to say that back then I was "young and unafraid" and had this feeling of invincibility as I had yet to face the cost of discipleship, it is as empowering now as it was then, and it continues to break fears, doubt, insecurity and shame off of me to say to the Lord, "I am your beloved."
My prayer today: Lord revive in me a fresh love and heart for you, make me "young and unafraid" once again. Though life weighs me down, you are the lifter of my heart! Even oceans and waves bow at your feet, and I, Your beloved, will continue to trust in your will for my life.

I can't listen to this song without being transported back to the dining commons at Vanguard during Wednesday night Prayer & Praise. The song had a similar effect on me as it did on you. Definitely one of my all-time faves.
I feel the same way, Dining Commons floor in tears, with snot running down my nose and wearing a black pirate sweatshirt with Jeremiah 29:11 on the sleeve!
