Just happen to bump into this song. Dennis Jernigan was inspire to write this song after watching Slumdog Millionaire. Think I'm going to watch it.
I have mentioned this before, that through out seasons in my life, Father has used Dennis Jernigan's song to speak into my life. Many a times when I don't now what to say or what to pray, Dennis' song just seem to have 100% entirely written for me. Instead of saying the words deep in my heart (which I often felt hard to articulate), Father made it easy for me to sing instead of saying. I feel that it's much easier to sing than to say.
Through singing, all sort of emotions can be released, be it Joy or sorrow. I have always believe that Father created music for us to enjoy worshipping Him.
I have never tell this to Father, yet in the lyrics one line strike it deep in my heart.
You came to rescue me from loneliness and fear
Held me close and gently wipe away each tear
Other than feelings of hurts & sorrow, I am sure I had never expressed my feelings of loneliness & fear to Father. He really knows me, He knows whats deep in my heart which I am fearful to express to Him, or rather I don't know how to sound out this deep cry to him. I mean being alone & lonely are different. You can be in a crowd and yet still feel lonely. I need to constantly recognise and know that Father will always be there to rescue me and wiping away my tears. I am alone but not lonely, because this heart is always filled by His presence & love.
God has gave Dennis a special gift of composing musics and penning the lyrics. Dennis always writes songs that not only touches the heart, but from the heart as well. God has given Dennis the desire to write songs from the Father's heart, and also from the hearts deep cry of every man & woman.
In my shame I turned away
and still you took me by the heart
And place a precious kiss of true love there
What a touching lyrics. I often pray that Father will hold & lead me by the hand, yet He surpass what I have always long for. Though many a times I have turned away, He not only held back my hands tightly, He took my heart and constantly in a still small voice assuring me that He love me.
So lovely of my Father to provide a way out for me, a song for me to sing & pour out my heart to him. He knows better than when I really need for myself.
Thank you Father for what you have done, and thank you for what you are going to do.
I can never thank you enough.
