 <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMAG1489\"<\/a>With this love for music so deeply imbedded within, it\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So what do I do when I\u2019m driving along without music in the background? I spend a lot of time with Jesus.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We talk. I think. He spurs my memory. I delight myself in Him! I am quite often overwhelmed by Him.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you read through these lyrics and listen to this song, I pray that you too will be overwhelmed by God\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today I pray that you will delight in God\u2019s presence. I pray that you will be captivated by His beauty. I pray that you will be overwhelmed by Him.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cOverwhelmed\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I see the work of Your Hands
\nGalaxies spin in a Heavenly dance, oh God
\nAll that You are is so overwhelming<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I hear the sound of Your Voice
\nAll at once it\u2019s a gentle and thundering noise, oh God
\nAll that You are is so overwhelming<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I delight myself in You
\nCaptivated by Your beauty
\nI\u2019m overwhelmed, I\u2019m overwhelmed by You<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

God, I run into Your arms
\nUnashamed because of mercy
\nI\u2019m overwhelmed, I\u2019m overwhelmed by You<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I know the power of Your Cross
\nForgiven and free forever You\u2019ll be my God
\nAll that You\u2019ve done is so overwhelming<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I delight myself in You
\nIn the Glory of Your Presence
\nI\u2019m overwhelmed, I\u2019m overwhelmed by You<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

God, I run into Your arms
\nUnashamed because of mercy
\nI\u2019m overwhelmed, I\u2019m overwhelmed by You<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You are Beautiful, You are Beautiful
\nOh God, there is no one more Beautiful
\nYou are Beautiful, God you are the most Beautiful<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You are Wonderful, You are Wonderful
\nOh God, there is no one more Wonderful
\nYou are Wonderful, God You are the most Wonderful<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You are Glorious, You are Glorious
\nOh God, there is no one more Glorious
\nYou are Glorious, God you are the most Glorious[i]<\/a><\/p>\n
