And So He Speaks!!

Still…

Hide me now,
Under Your wings
Cover me
Within Your mighty hands

** When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father, You are King over the flood
I will be still know You are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust

*Ouch* The word “still” just pierced through me like I’ve been stabbed with a knife. I know I promised myself to let go and let God, but as human as I am, I fall short of that promise. Lord, help me!

This song, or rather just the word itself, was mentioned 3 times within the week. Coincidence? I don’t think so. First, it was a word from the Lord through Connor in the Light House prayer log that came in last Thursday, speaking straight into me to “be still when He speaks.” Worship for cell the next day was led by Peter, this song again. Gosh, it is not as if they knew what was going on in my head to deliberately use this song at me. It has to be God at work!! So I was only thinking in my head that the next place it will appear is either in SURGE or FAITH, weekly e-newsletters of DUMC. True enough when I received the mail, the song was right there, haha…

It is not easy when we do it with our own strength, really. It has been tried and tested that there’s no way to force it if it was never God’s will to begin with – my Japan application was an obvious proof in itself. Therefore for the sake of the ones I love, and for my own good, I made a decision to slow down, be still and let Jesus take the wheels, the wheels of my life!!

Jesus, Take the Wheel by Carrie Underwood

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her mama and her daddy with the baby in the back seat
Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline
It’s been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn’t pay attention
She was going way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flashed before her eyes
She didn’t even have time to cry
She was sooo scared
She threw her hands up in the air

** Jesus, take the wheels, take it from my hands
Coz I can't do this on my own
I’m letting go, so give me one more chance
To save me from this road I’m on
Jesus take the wheel

It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock
And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said, “I’m sorry for the way
I’ve been livin’ my life
I know I’ve got to change
So from now on tonight
