Good to Me~We've sung it many times before but this past Sunday it struck me.
The words became my prayer...a lifeline...
a cry...to My Savior.
I cry out
For Your hand of mercy to heal me
I am weak
I need Your love to free me
Oh Lord, my rock
My strength in weakness
Come rescue me, oh, LordMy chest aches, the tears began to fall...and I let them. I'm alone with My Savior... in a sea of saintly voices...it's just Me... longing for my Lord to rescue me from all the heartache and pain. I sense His presence. I'm no longer singing...I'm too awed at how much Jesus loves me. His love is flowing over me and freeing me from the bondage of fear and doubt that envelopes me so often. He reminds me again that He will never leave me nor forsake me. He hears the cry of my heart even when I can't speak a word.
You are my hope
Your promise never fails me
And my desire
is to follow you foreverMy desire...I have let worry and fear rob me of my desire to serve (love) You. I've followed other desires. I've let others lead me but I've been left wanting. You are my hope, Lord. Your promise never fails me. Forgive me for looking elsewhere. My desire is to follow You forever.
For You are good
For You are good
For You are good to meI want to keep singing this~ For You are good.
For YOU are Good. For You ARE Good. For You are GOOD!!
Yes, Lord. You are so good to me. Why do I choose to listen to the lies that say "she has no value", "who needs her anyway" when You are SO GOOD TO ME?? I only want to hear Your voice, Lord.
The song ends and the tears ebb but my heart is changed. My Lord met me in worship that day. And I'm so glad He did.

Kari, I have Holy Spirit bumps. Seriously!! As soon as I read the title of your blog, I became very still because I had the same experience (I cried too!) to the same song this Sunday! Wow! I'm just smiling from ear to ear right now. That is the coolest thing. Hearts knit together much? :D
I even went to our church website and downloaded the worship and searched online for the lyrics. I've been singing it all week. I too thought about putting it in a blog, but you did such a wonderful job, Kari. I love your writing. You captured the emotion of the moment beautifully. :)
God bless ya, Sis! ;)
I love that He ministered to you through worship. He is good! :)
That was beautiful, Kari. I'm so glad you're blogging!
Wow, Kari. I love it when worship affects us that way. I've had that happen to me, too, several times. It draws us so much closer to God. God IS so good!
