I hear you breathing in
another day beings
the stars are falling out
my dreams are fading now, fading out
I've been keeping my eyes wide open
I've been keeping my eyes wide open
Your love is a symphony
all around me
running to me
Your love is a melody
underneath me
running to me
Your love is a song
the dawn is fire bright
against the city lights
The clouds are glowing now
the moon is blacking out
I've been keeping my mind wide open
I've been keeping my mind wide open
Your love is a song
with my eyes wide open
I've got my eyes wide open
I've been keeping my hopes unbroken.
In all honesty, the first time I heard this song, all I heard was the eyes wide open part. But the more I continue to listen to it, since I currently have it on repeat. I feel myself totally understanding something that I didn't think of before, the day is just starting out, and the Lord is there meeting us. In the Bible, it talks so much of when the people would wake early in the morning to mee the Lord and prepare their hearts for the day. I love this idea, however, I constantly find myself wanting to sleep in and to just sleep away the day. There is something about sleep that just is intoxicating in the fact that I could go days without leaving my bed, infact I may have done that before. Granted I was probably sick at the time, but we miss out on the gorgeous sunrise, when we waste away the day by sleeping in. There is something about the way the light of the sun shines over the mountain tops in the distance fills this dark world with so much light that I find myself just awestruck. I used to like sunsets better, perhaps it was mostly due to the fact that we live on the west coast and I could sit on the beach and just watch the sun fade out over the water. When I think about the sunset it feels like a promise from the Lord though, even though the light is currently going out presently, there is a promise in those gorgeous reds, purples, oranges, and pinks that the sun will rise again. He answers that promise each morning with a melody of color that accentuates the perfectness of the still morning. I think I used to be drawn more to the just sheer beauty of the sunset/rises, because what an awesome God we have that he can make such perfect colors to illuminate the world with his light. My favorite line in that whole song is the last one, I've been keeping my hopes unbroken. I have the hope of heaven and no one can take that away. If my life ended up like Job's life, that would be ok with me, for to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. In fact there are some days I think being dead would be preferable, because then I would be able to sit at the feet of the Lord, instead of living in this sinful world. But I am completely blessed that I still get to do his work. Lord may you work in my life, because you use the weak and foolish- that category I know I definately fit in!
I love that I know I am invincible unto you are done with me, Lord. Thank you Lord for this day that I made it to watch another sunset. See you in the sunrise tomorrow!
