We Dance

We Dance by Bethel Music and Steffany Frizzell Gretzinger
 from the album ' You Make me Brave'


You steady me
Slow and sweet we sway
Take the lead and I will follow

Finally ready now
To close my eyes and just believe
That you won’t lead me where you don’t go

When my faith gets tired
And my hope seems lost
You spin me round and round
And remind me of that song
The one you wrote for me

And we dance
And we dance

I’ve been told
To pick up my sword
And fight for love
Little did I know
That love had won for me

Here in your arms
You still my heart again
And I breathe you in
Like I’ve never breathed till now

When my faith gets tired
And my hope seems lost
You spin me round and round
And remind me of that song
The one you wrote for me

And we dance
And we dance
And we dance
And we dance
Just you and me

And I will lock eyes
With the one who’s ransomed me
The one who gave me joy from mourning



And I will lock eyes
With the one who’s chosen me
The one who set my feet to dancing

We dance
Just you and me

It’s nice to know
I’m not alone
I’ve found my home here in your arms

Jesus

When I thought of that beautiful name this morning, the first words that came to my mind naturally were;

"The Expression of God's love"

That phrase itself left me astounded for a few minutes. My father in all His Glory fell deeply in love with the masterpiece that He so carefully created. Although He knew that we would disappoint Him and turn our backs on Him, the extent of His all so perfect love, never shrank, instead He would send His most priced possession, who would be exactly like Him in all perfection and without sin or blemish but yet fully like us, fallen in nature, temperamental, unsure, always being tempted but would never sin. "Jesus was completely man and completely God." that scripture always blows my mind :) 

The very large expression of the Father's love was demonstrated  by His one and only beloved Son. Beautiful, Jesus. Who in turn became our Savior, the lover of our lives, the pathway to God the Father, the only chance we had to be intimate with a Great and Mighty God again after the fall.

I am so Glad today and everyday that God choose to express His love towards us through Jesus. There is no way we could ever repay Him or even come close to loving Him like He does us. We could however, give our all to Him and make Him our everything. Because in this world, even though a lot of things look attractive and feel so good, once you know Jesus and the extent of His love for you, nothing could ever come close. 

Trust me I've been there and today more than anyone in my world, from my heart, although my life may not be perfect but I am found in complete intimacy with my Father through Jesus and beautiful Holy Spirit. If you find yourself searching today, Jesus is the only answer. If you find yourself far away from God, Jesus is the only answer. If you are struggling with temptation and sin then fall in love with Jesus and His presence cos then nothing will be able to replace that in your life. I encourage you today to say Yes to Jesus, whoever you are and wherever you may be in Life. Jesus loves you and is waiting for you.

All my Love
