I love music! And I love the lyrics to songs that say exactly what I want to say. A friend gave me a CD last week with a song on it that she really liked, and I totally forgot about it until today. I pulled it out of my bag on the drive home from work and listened to it. I've heard this song before on the radio, and it's not one that musically has really caught my attention. But being alone in my car, these words grabbed me and I wanted to post them - because these words speak to exactly where I am...in this moment... God's doing something bigger than me, and I just need to daily surrender and let 'chaos' begin.
The song is by Sanctus Real, and it's called "Whatever You're Doing"
It’s time for healing, time to move on,
it’s time to fix what’s been broken too long
Time to make right what has been wrong;
it’s time to find my way to where I belong
There’s a wave that’s crashing over me, and all I can do is surrender
Whatever You’re doing inside of me
It feels like chaos, but somehow there’s peace
And it’s hard to surrender to what I can’t see,
but I’m giving in to something heavenly
Time for a milestone, time to begin again,
re-evaluate who I really am
Am I doing everything to follow Your will
or just climbing aimlessly over these hills?
So show me what it is You want from me I give everything – I surrender
Whatever You’re doing inside of me
It feels like chaos, but somehow there’s peace
And it’s hard to surrender to what I can’t see,
but I’m giving in to something heavenly
Time to face up, clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out
that I’ve wanted to say for so many years
Time to release all my held back tears
Whatever You’re doing inside of me
It feels like chaos, but I believe …
You’re up to something bigger than me
Larger than life, something heavenly

Great lyrics! I am constantly amazed at how God uses things like music or what someone says to us to soften our hearts in surrender to him. Thanks for sharing this.

You hit it right on the head. For some odd reason I feel like there is chaos, but also on the same token there is a peace about the whole situation. thank you for being so open about your walk. Love you.
