One of those songs...

You know how there are those songs that just uplift your spirit, quiet your heart? The words impact you in a powerful way and change your perspective on life, even if just for that moment? My senior year in high school that song was "Move or Move Me" by FFH. The cry out to God just fit my circumstance, my need in that moment. To this day I still get chills upon hearing that song.

I have a new "one of those songs." I've heard it three times in the last two days and it has spoken into my discouragement and centered my heart on the truth of who God is and who I am in Him. Sometimes I can learn new things by listening to these songs that others point out, understand where they are without them ever having to put their emotions into words. I thought maybe I'd offer the same opportunity to you all tonight. So here is my song:

Addison Road - Hope Now
From the album Addison Road

If everything comes down to love
Then just what am I afraid of?
When I call out your name
Something inside awakes in my soul
How quickly I forget I'm yours

I'm not my own
I've been carried by you
All my life

Chorus:
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free

When my life is like a storm
Rising waters, all I want is the shore
You say I'll be ok
And make it through the rain
You are my shelter from the storm

I'm not my own
I've been carried by you
All my life

Chorus:

You've become my heart's desire
And I will sing your praises higher
Cause your love sets me free
Your love sets me free
Your love sets me free
