cry

Impromptu worship sessions with the Lord are the best. When you feel his presence and know you need to stop everything else in order to focus on him. When you fall face down in reverence of his majesty and awe. When he meets you and stays with you – even for a moment. That moment is priceless.

I’ve begun to notice that recently – that merely being in his presence is enough. I don’t need to talk. He doesn’t need to talk. We are simply together – in his presence, under his grace, surrounded by his love. And through the silence, so much is said.

Cry out to Jesus
To everyone who's lost someone they love, Long before it was their time
You feel like the days you had were not enough, when you said goodbye

And to all of the people with burdens and pains, Keeping you back from your life
You believe that there's nothing and there is no one, Who can make it right

There is hope for the helpless, Rest for the weary
Love for the broken heart, There is grace and forgiveness
Mercy and healing, He'll meet you wherever you are
Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus

For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on, They lost all of their faith in love
They've done all they can to make it right again, Still it's not enough

For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains, You try to give up but you come back again
Just remember that you're not alone in your shame, And your suffering

When your lonely, And it feels like the whole world is falling on you
You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus, Cry to Jesus

To the widow who struggles with being alone, Wiping the tears from her eyes
For the children around the world without a home, Say a prayer tonight

There is nothing better than just being in the presence of the Lord. I need to practice this more. Thanks for reminding me.
