You're Here

I was driving to work this morning, listening to the City on a Hill CD that I've had since about 10th grade. I've listened to it alot over the years, I know all the lyrics and all the harmonies. But this morning, the song "You're Here" by Sixpence None the Richer really got my attention. I listened to it three or four times and I was so moved. I'd love to share it with you:

"You're Here" by Sixpence None the Richer

My life is up and it is down
I try to keep both feet on the ground
Your love is all that gets me through
All I need on this earth is You

And I can hear Your voice reciting:
"I'm Here. I'm closer than Your breath,
I've conquered even death,
I am still here,
Just like I was then,
You can't remember when I was not here"

Jesus, You're the author of my heart
You told me you wanted every part
And now my life and its demands
Are resting safely in Your hands

And I can hear Your voice inviting:
"I'm Here. I'll never leave your side,
My stubborn, weary child,
I am still here,
Please let me lead you on
Your race is already won
I am your God"

"I'm Here. I'll never leave your side,
My stubborn, weary child,
I am still here,
Please let me lead you on
Your race is already won
I am..... I am.... your God"

My life and all of its demands are resting safely in HIS hands. I have nothing to worry about. Though I am definitely stubborn and I can get very, very weary, I must remember that the Lord will carry me. My race is already won.
