sweep me away

It's such a peaceful feeling to know that I'm not trying to impress anyone but the Lord.

Sometimes I feel his presence around me so strongly. When I woke up on my birthday, I could feel his love pulsing through me, as though he was letting me know that he was celebrating my existance, my birth, my purpose and my role in his kingdom. I can't describe the feeling of his love... while I know that love isn't a feeling, when I do feel it, it's like the way the sun falls over everything in the early morning, the way a berry tastes at the first bite, the way music fits together to orchestrate my favorite song. He knows me so deeply - every desire, every hurt, every joy and delight. I am truly known, and he is the only one who will ever be able to fill all of those barren places in my soul. 

Just you and me, Lord. Despite my trust issues, I know that I can trust you, with everything. How joyful and peaceful to know that you'll never leave me. 

you sweep me away, sweep me away in your love
where nothing else matters...
