Love Song For A Saviour
July 12, 2007
Jars of Clay is a band that I heard of before being touched by the Holy Spirit. Their anointing is awesome. I saw them when they came to Dallas with Billy Graham. Thought I would share this video with you. May you fall in love with Him today!
Here are the lyrics to the song:
In open fields of wild flowers
She breathes the air flies away
She thanks her Jesus for the daisies and the roses
In no simple language
Someday she’ll understand the meaning of it all
He’s more than the laughter
Or the stars in the heavens
As close as a heartbeat
Or a song on her lips
Someday she’ll trust him
And learn how to see him
Someday he’ll call her
And she will come running
Fall in his arms, the tears will fall down
And she’ll pray
I want to fall in love with you
Sitting silent wearing sunday best
The sermon echoes through the walls
A great salvation through it
Goes to the people who stare into nowhere
Can’t feel the chains on their souls
He’s more than the laughter
Or the stars in the heavens
As close as a heartbeat
Or a song on her lips
Someday we’ll trust him
And learn how to see him
Someday he’ll call us
And we will come running
Fall in his arms
The tears will fall down and we’ll pray
I want to fall in love with you
Seems to easy to call you savior
Not close enough to call you a god
So as I sit and think of
Words I can mention to show my devotion
I want to fall in love with you
Steadily
July 12, 2007
But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.
Habakkuk 2:3For the time will come when all the earth will be filled, as the waters fill the sea, with an awareness of the glory of the LORD.
Habakkuk 2:14
I don’t know about you, but I’m getting exciting about the glory of the LORD filling the earth for it will be fulfilled. Praise Him!
