Jesus Did Some Heavy Lifting

I just heard the new song from Chris Tomin. It's amazing how timely and wonderful (no surprise) that it is. The parts of the song that hit me the strongest are the parts He has shown me most recently - of Olympic-sized proportions!

• that God is with me, even in the midst of my waiting
• that Jesus weeps right there along with me
• that a season only lasts for a season
• that God is so much bigger than I could ever have imagined
• that I may fail, but He does not - ever
• that there is freedom and wonder in watching Him - and waiting on Him
• that to see Him, to truly see Him, requires all of me given over to Him
• that He is trustworthy to be given over to - completely
• that my efforts to try to help Him are a pretty useless bondage
• that His love, and only His love, is the anthem of my heart

see if these lyrics, based on Psalm 30:1, don't speak to you:

You Lifted Me Out
by Chris Tomlin

Verse 1
You turned my way
You heard my cry
You turned my mourning into shouting
Sorrow may last for a night
But with the light I am seeing
I am singing

Chorus
You lifted me out
You lifted me out
And set me dancing, dancing
Free, now I am free
Your love rescued me
Now it’s the anthem I’m singing

Verse 2
Many will see
Many will hear
And find You strong enough to save
Many the wonders You have done
Your light has come, I am singing
I am singing

Bridge
Lost is where You found me
Shattered and frail
But You love me still
Trouble may surround me
My heart may fail
But You never will
You never will

All for now,
Lisa
