bringing forth

a little notebook to scribble simple thoughts, inspired devotions and deep, quiet laments in.

 

None But Jesus

In the quiet, in the stillness
I know that You are God
In the secret of Your presence
I know there I am restored

When You call
I won’t refuse
Each new day again
I’ll choose

There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise

In the chaos, in confusion
I know You’re Sovereign still
In the moment of my weakness
You give me grace to do Your will

When You call I won’t delay
This my song through all my days

All my delight is in You Lord
All of my hope, all of my strength
All my delight is in You Lord
Forever more


It is amazing when you wake up in the morning and as you sit on your bed, taking a short pause before the day begins, the melody and starting words to a song start trickling into your head.
And then you realise each word in that song speaks volumes to you.
I remember the promise I made to Him on my birthday in front of friends who witness it, and to whom I am also accountable to as brothers and sisters in Christ.

All my delight is in You Lord
All of my hope, all of my strength
Forever more

The 'all' there is not taken for granted. It means everything it is made to be - all in all. And it certainly is not as easy arriving at this point and saying, yes it is going to be all or nothing.

Oh Lord Jesus You are beautiful beyond measure.

When stars will fall from their place to be diamonds at Your feet
And mountains bow under the soft touch of Your hand
Lord, the winds are a-stirring with songs of Your glory and peace
The seas part as You step in.
