“Overwhelmed” – Monday Musical Musings

 

Music has always held a special place in my heart. I remember listening to the radio in our car as a very young child and singing along to the melody. I treasured my first stereo and record player. Memories flood into my mind as I remember specific moments in time when music was at the center of the memory.

 

IMAG1489With this love for music so deeply imbedded within, it’s kind of ironic that when I get in my car most days any more, I never turn on the radio. I rarely listen to music in my car and when I do, chances are pretty good that it will be a Christmas tune.

 

So what do I do when I’m driving along without music in the background? I spend a lot of time with Jesus.

 

We talk. I think. He spurs my memory. I delight myself in Him! I am quite often overwhelmed by Him.

 

When I first heard the chosen song for today, I felt an instant connection to the lyrics as well as the melody. Oh how I love this song!

 

As you read through these lyrics and listen to this song, I pray that you too will be overwhelmed by God’s presence. I pray that you will find that moment when you are so overwhelmed by God that everything else (the cares of the day, pain, busyness, ________?) will fall to the side.

 

Today I pray that you will delight in God’s presence. I pray that you will be captivated by His beauty. I pray that you will be overwhelmed by Him.

 

“Overwhelmed”

 

I see the work of Your Hands
Galaxies spin in a Heavenly dance, oh God
All that You are is so overwhelming

 

I hear the sound of Your Voice
All at once it’s a gentle and thundering noise, oh God
All that You are is so overwhelming

 

I delight myself in You
Captivated by Your beauty
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You

 

God, I run into Your arms
Unashamed because of mercy
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You

 

I know the power of Your Cross
Forgiven and free forever You’ll be my God
All that You’ve done is so overwhelming

 

I delight myself in You
In the Glory of Your Presence
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You

 

God, I run into Your arms
Unashamed because of mercy
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You

 

You are Beautiful, You are Beautiful
Oh God, there is no one more Beautiful
You are Beautiful, God you are the most Beautiful

 

You are Wonderful, You are Wonderful
Oh God, there is no one more Wonderful
You are Wonderful, God You are the most Wonderful

 

You are Glorious, You are Glorious
Oh God, there is no one more Glorious
You are Glorious, God you are the most Glorious[i]
