My Prayer

I keep finding myself putting this song from the Enter the Worship Circle CD on repeat whenever I'm in the car.

Whatever Thing
by Christena Graves

Whatever thing that I have carried in this place
That will keep me from you
I will lay it at your feet
Whatever burden I have carried for so long
That will keep me from seeing you
I will lay it down right now

I need to hear you speak to me
And I want to feel you in this place
You long to take me in your arms of love
So take me in your arms of love

All of the things that are cluttering my mind
I will push them far from here
And listen for your voice
All of the pain that I am carrying inside
I will hand it to you
You will take it, set me free, I will fly

I need to hear you speak to me
And I want to feel you in this place
You long to take me in your arms of love
So take me in your arms of love

"All of the pain that I am carrying inside I will hand it to you You will take it, set me free, I will fly" I love the imagery of this line! I can see myself laying down my broken heart and my Father lifting me up and tossing me into the air! I'm flying like Harrison Bergeron's ballerina, finally released from the sandbags that held me down, my shackles are broken and "in an explosion of joy and grace, into the air [I spring]!"
