Perfectly Safe

Alright, so I haven't gotten around to putting Part 2 of my little blog series and I'm not going to now. I'll just sort of redo the last entry a little bit. I know everyone is so disappointed (I'm not even really sure if anyone actually reads this anymore) but I just have to write this. This doesn't really have anything to do with Trailhead or some random bizarre thing that happened to me. I just want to write.

Warning: This blog is actually serious. I know, I've been a little serious when it comes to blogs recently, but serious times call for serious blogs.

I just want to get my thoughts out. Not too many people know what my favorite worship song is. Many believe it is "Sweep Me Away" but that is incorrect. That just happened to me favorite song the Flood Band did back in the day (before I started my solo project: "The Adam Davis Experience"), but actually my favorite worship song is a song by Skillet called "Angels Fall Down" off their Ardent Worship Live album from back in the day. It's on their new live CD/DVD (amazing btw) and it's good.......but nowhere near as good as the original. The original version is about 7 minutes long and starts with a duet between John and Korey Cooper with only piano accompaniment. The lyrics go something like this:

I saw angels fall down

At the glory of the Lord

And as I raise my hands I see

I saw angels fall down

At the glory of the Lord

And as I hit the ground I see

And I fall down

Afraid and shaking here

And I fall down

I'm perfectly safe right here

I saw angels fall down

At the glory of the Lord

The hurt and the broken find rest here

I saw angels fall down

At the beauty of the Lord

And as I kneel I cry to know him

And I fall down

Afraid and shaking here

And I fall down

I'm perfectly safe in here

Then after that (about two and a half minutes) they start into basically just an instrumental part that builds up with just a "lyric-less" worship. The reason I love this song is because what it makes me think of and just that place it takes me. Even after listening to this song for almost 5 years, it still puts me in this place. The lyrics just make me think of safety. It makes me realize that no matter how things in life can be, no matter how weathered you may be from any storm, no matter what hurt or pain clings to you, you are perfectly safe in the presence of God. I just love how these lyrics remind me of that and the feel of the instrumental part just makes me think of this overwhelming power that just covers you in this place of brokenness, in this place where you can come to find rest, to be healed, to find that safety. To come to that place where you can just fall down before Jesus and find that peace, find that safety, and find that rest.

I know this blog was a little out of the ordinary, but I just wanted to write that. That amazing things happen in the presence of God. When you come to him with a broken spirit and just fall before him and let his safety overwhelm you.

That's all.

My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken

Psalm 62: 1-2
