Music

As many of you know, my prayer life has been almost nonexistent since October 11th. I’ve been struggling daily with talking to God. If I’ve told you that I would pray for you, then I have. I just don’t get personal with God at all. I’ve asked a lot of you to pray for me about this and I really appreciate those of you who have. I’m not sure how long this prayer drought will last, but God knows my heart and right now I’m holding on to that.

Last night after Chris and I left Fiesta Mexico, we actually met there so I had my own car, I stopped by the cemetery. Music has really spoken to my heart since Christy’s death; so many songs speak of where I am. So, as I was pulling out of the cemetery this song began to play on the radio. I had never heard it before or of the group but I knew the minute the song started it was going to be meaningful to me. I could have written this song myself, it speaks my heart so clearly. There is no video, only audio, so you can follow along with the lyrics underneath the link. The group is Mikeschair (yes, all one word) and the song is titled “Let the Waters Rise.”

Don't know where to begin
It's like my world's caving in
And I tried but I can't control my fear
Where do I go from here

Sometimes it's so hard to pray
You feel so far away
I am willing to go where You want me to
God I trust You

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knee
So let the waters rise
If you want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

I will swim in the deep
Cuz You'll be next to me
You're in the eye of the storm and the calm of the sea
You're never out of reach

God You know where I've been
You were there with me then
You were faithful before
You'll be faithful again
I'm holding Your hand

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knee
So let the waters rise
If you want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

God Your love is enough
You will pull me through
I'm holding on to You

God your love is enough
I will follow You
I will follow You

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knee
So let the waters rise
If you want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

Following Him,
Julie
