A God Night

Father, let the world just fade away
Let me feel your presence in this place
Lord, I've never been so weary
How I need to know you're near me
Father, let the world just fade away
Till I'm on my knees,
Till my heart can sing
He is, He was, He always will be.

I am reminded tonight that God is faithful.
That when all else seems to be falling down around me, He stands strong.
That with a life that changes as the wind, my savior is my constant.
What a comfort that is to me, tonight. With my heart in turmoil, aching with a pain that I cannot tune out. With a heavy heart I pray, I cry out. And I feel no walls, no bitter silence. But love. Peace. A peace that warms my heart and comforts my very soul.

He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy
When all of a sudden
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realize just how beautiful You are
And how great Your affections are for me

What a beautiful life, to be loved so greatly. To be cared for so intently. To know, without a shadow of a doubt, that no matter what the mistakes, you will always be wanted. How blessed, I must be, to know what I know. I cannot imagine how meaningless I would feel, if I did not know my Savior. How small, unimportant, I would feel day after day. I would view myself as even more of a failure than I do already. I find great comfort in knowing my Lord in such a personal way.
