Not for one minute have I regretted that decision. I just can't even imagine a life without God, without my Saviour, without Jesus. I'd be a mess. I am a mess, but a mess that has been redeemed, bought back by one who loves me (and you) more than I will ever know.
I tend to have a song of the moment, the song I'm singing to myself through the day. The song I turn up the volume for if I hear it on the radio. The lyrics I'm searching for, knowing that just the few lines I've grasped are the tip of a deeply truthful iceberg of worship and life and honesty and love for the Lord.
As I've been singing this particular song to myself tonight, checking out the music video and lyrics on YouTube and thinking about 25 years walking with the Lord, it's becoming my prayer for today and the days to come, whatever they may bring. For however many years I have left serving Him in this life, before joining with those from every tribe, language, people and nation to spend forever in the presence of my Great Reward.
He is Enough.
I trust in You for every heartbeat
As long as I'm alive
Your love endures when I wake
And when I close my eyes
Help me to know You are God, I am not
Remind my soul You're in control
Praise to the Father
With every breath I take
In joy and sorrow
All for Your kingdom's sake
Be Thou my vision
Be Thou my hope restored
Now and forever
You are my great reward
I won't demand to know the reasons
For my suffering
These open hands will trust Your wisdom
Beyond what I see
I know this is dangerous
Daring just to pray this
I will trust You Lord
The rock throughout the ages
You make me courageous
I will trust You Lord
I will trust You Lord
Praise to the Father
With every breath I take
In joy and sorrow
All for Your kingdom's sake
Be Thou my vision
Be Thou my hope restored
Now and forever
You are my great reward
Oh, my great reward
As long as I'm alive
Your love endures when I wake
And when I close my eyes
Help me to know You are God, I am not
Remind my soul You're in control
Praise to the Father
With every breath I take
In joy and sorrow
All for Your kingdom's sake
Be Thou my vision
Be Thou my hope restored
Now and forever
You are my great reward
I won't demand to know the reasons
For my suffering
These open hands will trust Your wisdom
Beyond what I see
I know this is dangerous
Daring just to pray this
I will trust You Lord
The rock throughout the ages
You make me courageous
I will trust You Lord
I will trust You Lord
Praise to the Father
With every breath I take
In joy and sorrow
All for Your kingdom's sake
Be Thou my vision
Be Thou my hope restored
Now and forever
You are my great reward
Oh, my great reward
-- Tim Timmons, My Great Reward
