Sacred...

These are the lyrics to a song by Caedmon's Call on their new album titled Overdressed. Thank you, David, for letting me know about it. Now I know why you thought of me when you heard it. My favorite line is "teach me to run to you like they run to me for every little thing." Oh, LORD, that I would be more like a child in my relationship with YOU.

this house is a good mess

it’s the proof of life

no way would I trade jobs

but it don’t pay overtime

I’ll get to the laundry

I don’t know when

I’m saying a prayer tonight

cause tomorrow it starts again

could it be that everything is sacred?

and all this time

everything I’ve dreamed of

has been right before my eyes

the children are sleeping

but they’re running through my mind

the sun makes them happy

and the music makes them unwind

my cup runneth over

and I worry about the stain

teach me to run to You

like they run to me for every little thing

when I forget to drink from you

I can feel the banks harden

Lord, make me like a stream

to feed the garden

wake up, little sleeper

the Lord, God Almighty

made your Mama keeper

so rise and shine,rise and shine

rise and shine cause

everything is sacred

and all this time

everything I’ve dreamed of

has been right before my eyes

 "My cup runneth over and I worry about the stain."  Wow.  Isn't that the truth of it?  We are SO very blessed yet we constantly focus on the negative.  I know sometimes I can't enjoy the fun time because I am so worried about the million things that are on my to-do list.  Please, LORD, teach me.  Teach me to be more like YOU!  Help me to show others the grace and mercy you show me.  Help me, LORD, to allow myself a little more grace and mercy.  LORD, everything I have dreamed of is truly right before my eyes.  What have I done?  What have I ever done to deserve the unbelievable love you so freely give to me?  THANK YOU doesn't seem like enough.  I love you, LORD.
