Something Beautiful

We are just about an hour away from Day Two of Prime Time.  The theme is Boom:  Hearing God’s Voice in a Big Way and in the midst of teaching this week I’ve been trying to do just that and listen to what God may be saying to me.

Our virtue is Obedience and our theme verse is James 1: 22.  We don’t want to be just hearers – we want to be obedient doers of God’s Word. 

This afternoon I attempted to grab a quick energy nap before a high-energy evening.  I put on Needtobreathe to help me relax and as I listened God spoke through their song Something Beautiful especially in these lines:

Hey now, this is my desire

Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful

To touch me, I know that I'm in reach

'Cause I am down on my knees.

I'm waiting for something beautiful

Oh, something beautiful

Last night I was given lost of glimpses of something beautiful as I watched generations laugh and love and learn together.  So my prayer tonight is to let that beauty consume me like a fire and touch my heart.

We are on with the Prime Time version of Boom Boom (and yes I was in the recording studio this afternoon doing my best Doug I Am drop the beat now…_).  A bit nervous about the wake up video (and I know Hezekiah is not a book in the Old Testament….) so better head downstairs.

Here are the entire lyrics to Something Beautiful.  If you haven’t discovered Needtobreathe…. You need to….

In your ocean, I'm ankle deep

I feel the waves crashin' on my feet

It's like I know where I need to be

But I can't figure out, yeah I can't figure out

Just how much air I will need to breathe

When your tide rushes over me

There's only one way to figure out

Will you let me drown, will you let me drown?

Hey now, this is my desire

Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful

To touch me, I know that I'm in reach

'Cause I am down on my knees.

I'm waiting for something beautiful

Oh, something beautiful

And the water is rising quick

And for years I was scared of it

We can't be sure when it will subside

So I won't leave your side, no I can't leave your side.

Hey now, this is my desire

Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful

To touch me, I know that I'm in reach

'Cause I am down on my knees.

I'm waiting for something beautiful

Oh, something beautiful

In a daydream, I couldn't live like this.

I wouldn't stop until I found something beautiful.

When I wake up, I know I will have

No, I still won't have what I need.

Something Beautiful

Hey now this is my desire

Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful

To touch me, I know that I'm in reach

Cause I am down on my knees

I'm waiting for something beautiful

Oh, something beautiful
