Well is it 2014 – are you ready for it. Diane and I have been talking about the New Year and we believe it will be our best one yet. Diane was telling me about this song from David Crowder that has excited her and will be a major part in 2014 for us. The song is “I AM” as in this verse from Exodus: Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
As we go into the New Year “I AM” is the one that we need to be connected to as we go forward. David has a YouTube about the story behind the song and he talks about the song I AM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRlmfOy1SJ4 it means the presence of being – here now and all the time – it means Hope – it means God is with us. The verse in the song states that I am holding on to you – but “I AM” is really holding on to us even more intensely then we could ever hold onto him. There is no better place to be – then to have “I AM” connected to us in all aspects of our lives.
As the song would say – there is no place he cannot reach or find us and his amazing Grace has no end.
Please listen to the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqQOytpbmLY
The Words to the song:
“I Am”
(performed by Crowder)
[Verse 1:]
There’s no space that His love can’t reach
There’s no place that we can’t find peace
There’s no end to Amazing Grace
Take me in with your arms spread wide
Take me in like an orphan child
Never let go, never leave my side.
[Chorus: (2X)]
I am, Holding on to You.
I am, Holding on to You.
In the middle of the storm,
I am Holding on, I am!
[Verse 2:]
Love like this, Oh my God to find!
I am overwhelmed what a joy divine!
Love like this sets our hearts on fire!
[Chorus: (2X)]
[Verse 3:]
This is my Resurrection Song
This is my Hallelujah Come
This is why to You I run
This is my Resurrection Song
This is my Hallelujah Come
This is why to You I run
There’s no space that His love can’t reach
There’s no place that we can’t find peace
There’s no end to Amazing Grace
So as you are making a New Year’s resolution – It must include “I AM” – May you have a great 2014 as Diane and I are going to have.
