Praise God.
In the deepest circle of hell, I lift up my eyes...
to the Heavens from whence comes the help, there is no surprise
The darkness...creeps over my soul and my very soul dies...
"Though He slay me, Yet I will trust in Him" my spirit replies.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Post Edited (One Love) : 2/6/2012 1:31:28 PM (GMT-6) | | Back to Top | | |

| Posted 2/6/2012 8:09 AM (GMT -6) | | Something God showed me about these lyrics when a little bit ago. Something I TRULY didn't think about or realize before. I thought I was just writing lyrics about my true present-day experience. But God stunned the bejeezus outta me with this one...
1) When I went to Union Baptist Church as a pre-teen to teenager, the Responsive Reading we read every single Sunday was Psalm 121. I think they STILL do it that way.
2) In one of the darkest times in my life (around 1997), God specifially told me to read through Job three whole times. It was then that I got the idea of the Creator/creaturely assymetrical sovereignty relationship that has stuck with me to this day. THIS is why I could never get with Greg's rejection of God from his "moral wiring", I'm thinking. It was the ground of my Theistic Bootlicking...and is the ground of my current (growing) Theophilia, Lord be merciful.
In a weird way, God primed me for Eastern Orthodoxy and Loder way before I knew anything about either. And I'd probably have committed suicide by now if it weren't for God's direct actions at times.
I'm like...WOW.
Thank...You...Jesus!
I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:1-2 ESV
