Bow The Knee

Last night at Chorale, we worked on a new song that is too convicting. Don't you hate that? As you might guess from the title of this post, it is called Bow The Knee. Let's take a look at the lyrics.

"There are moments on our journey following the Lord where God illumines every step we take. There are times when circumstances make perfect sense to us as we try to understand each move He makes. When the path grows dim and our questions have no answers, turn to Him.

There are days when clouds surround us, and the rain begins to fall, the cold and lonely winds won't cease to blow. And there seems to be no reason for the suffering we feel; we are tempted to believe God does not know. When the storms arise, don't forget we live by faith and not by sight.

Bow the knee; trust the heart of your Father when the answer goes beyond what you can see. Bow the knee; lift your eyes toward heaven and believe the One who holds eternity. And when you don't understand the purpose of His plan, in the presence of the King, bow the knee."

See. Sometimes God just has to whop me upside the head to get my attention. I don't understand why I am going through this, but either I believe God has a plan for me or I don't. OK, I can't see a path right now, but I can turn to Him and bow the knee.

we're all still bowing on our knees and praying for you here in Dallas.

I'd comment but have nothing to say except that I don't really care for those convicting songs.
