Mercy Me......

Tonight I was washing the dishes while the children were sleeping and listening to pandora. I have it set to christian contemporary music. I heard this song by mercy me called you are I am. I have heard it a thousand times but tonight the words seemed to radiate through me. I think its because I am at a point in my life where I am going through so many things and sometimes I think "God can u hear me? Are you there? Can you help me?" Every single word of this song was what I had been feeling. Then I listened to the chorus and it reminded me how big God is, sometimes I focus on how big I think my problem is but I forget just how big my God is. 

 You're the one who conquers giants

 You're the one who calls out kings

 You shut the mouths of lions

 You tell the dead to breathe

 You're the one who walks through fire

 You take the orphan's hand

 You are the one Messiah

 You are I am

 You are I am

I think back to all the situations in the bible where God did these amazing things that no one thought was possible and He did them because He can. I guess creating a universe and everything in it just wasn't enough for us, we needed more. During these times where I feel helpless and I feel like I can't handle these situations I need to remember I can't! But He can! I need to give it all to Him and remember that I feel overwhelmed because I am trying to conquer it all, I am trying to do His job. I think God can't hear me or can't reach me but I am limiting God! He even knew at that moment that I was thinking about all the stuff going on and questioning Him and thinking "God? You got this?" 

Everything I write on this blog is to help me sort through things that I am struggling with but I hope it helps you to. I pray that I can be an encouragement to people going through similar things. God is showing me so much through this journey and I am honored to share it. Listen to this song and remember how Big YOUR God is and all the great things He has done. He can handle any problem, any situation. Stop trying to fight the fight alone. Meditate on the words from the song, they sure did help me feel better tonight. Now look at your problem or situation, Can He handle that? I think so!

I've been the one to shake with fear
And wonder if You're even here
I've been the one to doubt Your love
I've told myself You're not enough

I've been the one to try and say
I'll overcome by my own strength
I've been the one to fall apart
And to start to question who You are

You're the one who conquers giants
You're the one who calls out kings
You shut the mouths of lions
You tell the dead to breathe
You're the one who walks through fire
You take the orphan's hand
You are the one Messiah
You are I am
You are I am

I've been the one held down in chains
Beneath the weight of all my shame
I've been the one to believe
That where I am You cannot reach

You're the one who conquers giants
You're the one who calls out kings
You shut the mouths of lions
You tell the dead to breathe
You're the one who walks through fire
You take the orphan's hand
You are the one Messiah
You are I am
You are I am

The veil is torn
And now I live with the Spirit inside
The same one, the very same one
who brought the Son back to life

Hallelujah, He lives in me
Hallelujah, He lives in me
Hallelujah, He lives in me
Hallelujah, He lives in me

You're the one who conquers giants
You're the one who calls out kings
You shut the mouths of lions
You tell the dead to breathe
You're the one who walks through fire
You take the orphan's hand
You are the one Messiah
You are I am
You are I am
