Today I was driving home from work (as opposed to walking, hopping, crawling or doing 'the worm') and I was listening to a song called Carried Away by Sonicflood. The lyrics to this one really resonate in me so I decided to share them.

You are the open door to freedom

You are the only hope I have

The reason in my reason

The only thing that lasts

How could I begin to settle

When all within me longs

To step into the shelter

Of your everlasting arms

I wanna get carried away

I wanna get tossed by your waves

I don't care where or how deep

I'm gonna jump in with both feet

I wanna get carried away

I wanna get lost in your ways

I wanna be held by your truth

I wanna behold all of you

I'm gonna be all yours today

I wanna get carried away

You are the wisdom of the ages

You are the one who stays the same

The power in the wind

The sun left by the rain

How could I begin to make it

If all I had was me

Just take me as I am Lord

And sweep me out to sea.

Some say You're far away

But I know You're here with me

I could go anywhere

And still you'd be there with me

I know You're here with me.

This is a song of realization. God is so much greater, so much bigger than we can possibly imagine or comprehend. If we only pursue a relationship with Him when it's safe and predictable, it's very much like letting waves wash over your feet when standing at the edge of the ocean.

How often are we content to stand there and let the waves only reach our feet? Far too often, in my case. It is time to abandon the fear of the unknown and dive in. The ocean is not 'safe'. He is not predictable. We never know where He is going to take us or what is going to be asked of us. The only thing that we know for sure is that He is never going to leave us.
