Unexpected Worship...

I miss having a cassette player in my car. That old-school tape player was great because it was easy to plug my phone through and play Spotify, meaning I had a world of music at my fingertips. My current car is new enough to have a CD player, but not good enough to have an aux input, so I'm back to either Radio 2 or CD's that were purchased between 2002 and 2010.

One such CD that is in the current wallet in my car is Newton Faulkner's "Hand Built by Robots", and this is where my unexpected worship began on Sunday afternoon...
Track 5:  "Dream Catch Me"

I close my eyes it's you
And I know now who I am
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And I know now

There's a place I go when I'm alone
Do anything I want, be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see and I cannot believe I'm falling
That's where I'm going, where are you going?
Hold it close, won't let this go
Dream, catch me, yeah
Dream, catch me when I fall
Or else I won't come back at all

You do so much but you don't know it's true
And I know now who I am
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And I know now

There's a place I go when I'm alone
Do anything I want, be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see and I cannot believe I'm falling
That's where I'm going, where are you going?
Hold it close, won't let this go
Dream, catch me, yeah
Dream, catch me when I fall
Or else I won't come back at all

See you as a mountain, a fountain of God
See you as a descant soul in the setting sun
You as a sound just as silent as none
I'm yours

There's a place I go when I'm alone
Do anything I want, be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see and I cannot believe I'm falling
There's a place I go when I'm alone
Do anything I want, be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see and I cannot believe I'm falling
That's where I'm going, where are you going?
Hold it close, won't let this go
Dream, catch me, yeah
Dream, catch me when I fall
Or else I won't come back at all

Some lyrics right?!

I must have listened to it a thousand times in the past, and my laziness meant that this album was on its third loop of the weekend, yet this time round I got the shivers.

The song of my heart that came out as I sang along with the CD:

"God, I close my eyes and it's you I see, and I know who I am, because I see you. The more I know of you, the more I know of me...

I'm here, and I'm alone, my life is mine, and I can do what I want. You give me the freedom to be anyone I want to be, but when I look at my life I can't see me without you... It's us, every time! And I'm falling more and more into you and in love with you...

So what next? I'm going, wherever you're going, wherever you are, that's where I want to be. Hold me close, don't let me go. You'll catch me if I let go, when I inevitably fall, when I feel it's all going to pot.

See, You are my mountain, that fortress, strength and surety.

See, You are my fountain, quencher of thirst, giver of life, water for my soul.

See, You are the reason I sing, and I long to sing in harmony with you, with the song of your heart from morning to evening.

And when there's no song, when I can't bring myself to sing, when I can't hear Your tune, then I'll meet you in the silence and submit to you.

You see, without you I'm nothing..."

Unexpected worship right there... But all truths from the heart.
