won't be satisfied...

Our beloved Father
Please come down and meet us
We are waiting on Your touch
Open up the heavens
Shower down Your presence
We respond to Your great love

We won’t be satisfied with anything ordinary
We won’t be satisfied at all

Open up the sky
Fall down like rain
We don’t want blessings
We want you
Open up the sky
Fall down like fire
We don’t want anything but you

Our beloved Jesus
We just want to see
You In the glory of Your light
Earthly things don’t matter
They just fade and shatter
When were touched by love divine

Here we go lets go to the throne
The place that we belong
Right into His arms

I discovered this song today, and it really captured my attention. The abandon and devotion that the lyrics convey move me greatly. As I contemplated how these lyrics compare to my relationship with God, I realized that the words in these verses don’t fully describe me.

 I am satisfied with the ordinary. Every day I find myself immersed in trivial matters.  I get caught up in day-to-day life, and lose sight of my place in eternity. I focus on my schedule, projects I need to complete, and tests I need to prepare for. I forget what really matters.

 I do want blessings. Truthfully, I desire earthly blessings often. I bring my needs and hopes to God, expecting Him to follow through. He shows me that His plans for me are far better than the fulfillment of my ignorant desires.

Why don’t I just come to Him? I come with plans. I come with hopes. I come with dreams. I come with desires. I come with needs. Do I ever just simply long to dwell in His presence? Usually not. He longs for me to just spend time with Him, and all the while I come armed with things I want Him to do for me. The ironic thing is, when I receive Him, I receive His blessings. When I don’t lose focus on earthly matters, I fully find Him. All of Him is all I truly need.

I won’t be satisfied with the ordinary. Fall down like rain; because I don’t want blessings, I just want You. Fall down like fire, because I don’t want anything but You. I just want to see You in the glory of Your light. Earthly things don’t matter. They just fade and shatter when I’m touched by love divine.

Let me discover where I rightfully belong; Your arms.
