A Double Blessing

God is so good. He brought me a twofold blessing at church this morning. First of all, one of my favorite people ever was visiting with his wife, and was singing a special number in the service. Michael's voice has always been a vessel of the Holy Spirit. He has a sweet, natural and genuine tone, and no matter what he sings, he sings with only one thing in mind...to bring glory to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is also such an open person that he is able to invite you in to the presence of God through his voice and his spirit. It was a blessing to see and hear him again.

Secondly, the song he sang is one I have heard many times, but never really listened to. As I was able to play and listen this morning the words connected with my spirit for the first time. How often do I actually find myself at a loss for words? Even now, I feel the need to ramble on when what I should do is just encourage you to listen, and read the words below.

Mercy Me -- Word of God, Speak

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say

Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In Your holiness
Word of God speak

I'm finding myself in the midst of You
Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet hear Your voice

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay.

Lord, let me be "in the midst of you." What a precious thought. Let me find times to be quiet, and to listen to you. Word of God, speak. Be powerful in my life. Transform me, teach me, guide me, fill me to overflowing, and let me rest in your holiness.
