“Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
and I will write you a song”
lyrics by the great norah jones plays in my head this morning. I love to see the way Jesus speaks to me through words that dance in my mind. Let me take you through the process of breaking this down:
Come.
that implies that I move towards Him.
Away.
that means that I’m going somewhere where I’m not at right now.
With.
wherever it is we are going, I know that I am going with Him. He is my guide
Me.
ahhhh, I’m gonna walk with the Great I AM. Jesus Himself is asking me to come with Him.
In the first week here at Panama, Jesus has been showing me how much He is seeking me and all I have to do is stop and let myself be taken away by Him. I need to stop moving, stop seeking, stop trying to be good enough, stop trying to advance, and just stand in awe and let Him take my hand.
The thing that most stands out that Norah Jones is preaching to me (even tho she doesn’t even know) is that He is taking me to a play I have not been before. That is scary. I don’t know what vulnerability and complete acceptance looks like in a group of people chasing jesus. He wants me to put down my masks and see that I am not too much, and that I am worthy of love.
And with each season and each forest He walks me through, He will write a new song in me. The sound will be like nothing I have heard before. And it might hurt to put these words on paper… but the sound will be beautiful.
Thank ya Norah Jones, you blessing me with your intentional lyrics.
But Jesus… man, He is the greatest songwriter of all. Who else can write a song out of my pain?
I look forward to sharing this song, thank you for all the support.
P.S heres the song! listen!:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbjZPFBD6JU
