Captivate me...

Much has happened lately. Many things too deep inside the heart for words to adequately describe. Some have been very painful; all has or will be beautiful.

This song is as close as I could come to expressing what my overall desire is right now. He is amazing...and His love encompasses everything. Let's just say He is showing me, at every turn it seems, that He is enough. That really, He is all I have. And it has nothing to do with anything I have or haven't done: it's simply because He loves me; it's because of Jesus' blood.

I wish you could hear the melody as you read the lyrics....but please take a minute and read the lyrics slowly. Let them be a prayer, soak deep into your heart.

It's my prayer right now and I pray it only becomes more of one, more precious, over time. He's like that....




Captivate Us

Your face is beautiful
And Your eyes are like the stars
Your gentle hands have healing
There inside the scars
Your loving arms they draw me near
And Your smile it brings me peace
Draw me closer oh my Lord
Draw me closer Lord to Thee

Captivate us, Lord Jesus
Set our eyes on You
Devastate us with Your presence
Falling down
And rushing river, draw us nearer
Holy fountain consume us with You
Captivate us Lord Jesus, with You

Your voice is powerful
And Your words are radiant bright
In Your breath and shadow
I will come close and abide
You whisper love and life divine
And Your fellowship is free
Draw me closer O my Lord
Draw me closer Lord to Thee

Let everything be lost in the shadows
Of the light of Your face
Let every chain be broken from me
As I’m bound in Your grace
For Your yoke is easy, Your burden is light
You’re full of wisdom, power and might
And every eye will see You
