Flowers of radiant colors, blue skies, the stars in the heavens...
Our Creator puts on a show for us every day, every moment we live. Yet perhaps the most beautiful of His works of art is the His salvation story. There's something in all of us that yearns for healing, for restoration, and I believe that this common desire in us is a reflection of our Creator's heart. Lately, I've felt this strong yearning for my sister to be saved, and God's been tugging at me so hard that I have no choice sometimes but to fall on my knees in prayer.
Just take a moment think about someone close to you who you want to see saved. Can you visualize it? Can you see the tears of a welcoming Father, watching and waiting in the fields for His lost ones? Can you hear the chorus of angels rejoicing in background, crying "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty"? Redemption--what a beautiful thing, a gift offered by our all-loving Father. Oh, how He loves us. I want to fall in love with you.
Someday, she'll understand the meaning of it all. He's more than laughter or the stars in the heavens, as close as a heartbeat or the song on her lips. Someday He'll call her, and she will come running, fall in His arms, and the tears will come down and she'll pray...
In open fields of wild flowers,
she breathes the air and flies away
She thanks her Jesus for the daises and the roses
in no simple language
Someday she'll understand the meaning of it all
He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close a heartbeat or a song on her lips
Someday she'll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call her and she will come running
and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and she'll pray,
"I want to fall in love with You"
Sitting silent wearing Sunday best
The sermon echoes through the walls
A great salvation through it calls to the people
who stare into nowhere, and can't feel the chains on their souls
He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close a heartbeat or a song on our lips
Someday we'll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call us and we will come running
and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and we'll pray,
"I want to fall in love with You"
It seems too easy to call you "Savior",
Not close enough to call you "God"
So as I sit and think of words I can mention
to show my devotion
"I want to fall in love with You"
My heart beats for You
