Everything

Have you ever been completely focused on one thing and then get sucked into a moment of worship? Happened to me today and it nearly brought me to tears...
I'm still thinking about it as I write this and I find myself in an emotional state. Why?
The only answer I can come up with is the Holy, Awesome presence of God. He is overwhelming to me. Here I am on the verge of breaking down at my desk at work and it is not because I am sad or depressed. It is because I am overwhelmed by the glory and majesty of my God. Amazing...
Just minutes ago, I was sitting here at my desk, working away on some data testing (BORING!) and listening to music on Pandora. I've created a Coldplay station, which has this wonderful mix of music including Coldplay, Maroon 5, The Fray, Weezer, Snow Patrol, Keane, Death Cab for Cutie, etc. Suddenly this song comes on that sounded familiar. I checked to see who it was and it was Lifehouse, singing "Everything". I've heard it before and I like it. I went back to working and as the song was building in the chorus, I suddenly found myself pulled away from my work and focusing on the words of the song, especially this: "...how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you..." Wow, what a moment to realize that my God is awesome and what a great reminder to me that I cannot be in His presence without being moved by Him.
I pray, Lord, that you would continue to move me...move me to where You want me to be...

"Everything" by Lifehouse

Find me here
And speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me to the place
Where I find peace again

You are the strength
That keeps me walking
You are the hope
That keeps me trusting
You are the light to my soul
You are my purpose
You're everything

And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this

You calm the storms
And you give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fall
You steal my heart
When you take my breath away
Would you take me in take me deeper now

And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this

Cause you're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything

And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this


I also think that part of my emotion comes from a video a friend sent me some time back. It is of a superb skit using this song as the background. Very beautiful and very moving. Check it out below...
