Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
There's a song that has dominated my attention for the past number of weeks. From the primary time I detected it, i started to play it such a large amount of times I've lost count. i believe it is a lovely song, of course, however there is most additional to that than that.
The song is titled "Captivate America." It's on a CD by the cluster Watermark. it is a straightforward, quiet song with 2 voices associate degreed an guitar. i am sharing the music with you here however i actually wish to counsel it not as a song, however as a prayer--a pious preparation for a spoken language with our Heavenly Father. Not solely have I listened to the song persistently on the thanks to and from work however I've conjointly used it to arrange my heart to commune with the Lord and to follow His presence as I begin to own spoken language with Him.
For the aim of prayer, you'll be able to modification all of the America pronouns to Maine. As you become aware of the words and square measure ready to shut your eyes as you speak them--out loud, preferably, I pray that He can, because the words say, draw you nearer to Him.
"Your face is gorgeous
And Your eyes square measure just like the stars
Your mild hands have healing
There within the scars
Your caressive arms they draw Maine close to
And your smile it brings Maine peace
Draw Maine nearer, oh my Lord
Draw Maine nearer, Lord, to Thee
Captivate America, Lord Jesus
Set our eyes on You
Devastate America along with your presence
Falling down
And dashing watercourse draw America nearer
Holy Fountain consume America with You
Captivate America, Lord Jesus, with You
Your voice is powerful
And Your words square measure beamy bright
In Your breath and shadow
I will equal and abide
You whisper love and life divine
And Your fellowship is free
Draw Maine nearer O my Lord
Draw Maine nearer Lord to Thee
Captivate America, Lord Jesus
Set our eyes on You
Devastate America along with your presence
Falling down
And dashing watercourse draw America nearer
Holy Fountain consume America with You
Captivate America, Lord Jesus, with You
Let everything be lost within the shadows
Of the sunshine of Your face
Let each chain be broken from Maine
As i am certain in Your grace
For Your yoke is simple
Your burden is light-weight
You're packed with knowledge, power and would possibly
And every eye can see You
Captivate America, Lord Jesus
Set our eyes on You
Devastate America along with your presence
Falling down
And dashing watercourse draw America nearer
Holy Fountain consume America with You
Captivate America, Lord Jesus, with You"
I am a devotee of words--their meanings, colorations and shades. This song sent Maine to varied dictionaries, similarly because the Bible, to check all the meanings of a number of the words and phrases utilized in this song. I wished to check what God supposed to mention, what He wished America to kindle, once He galvanized the writers, Christy and Nathan Nockels.
First, check up on the word enchant. It will mean: attract; fascinate; charm; enchant; cause to be enamored; beguile; entrance; hold the eye of somebody by being very attention-grabbing, exciting, charming or attractive; subdue; overpower; capture; or subject.
In praying "Captivate Maine, Lord", i am see myself asking Him to try and do everything from attract Maine to subject Maine.
What's that? i need Him to subject me? however He told America through Paul:
"For we all know that our previous self was crucified with him so the body of sin may well be done away with, that we should always not be slaves to sin - as a result of anyone United Nations agency has died has been free of sin." (Romans 6:6-7)
Yes, free of slavery to sin, then again divinely slave to Him:
“But currently that you simply are let out from sin and became slaves to God, the profit you reap ends up in quality, and therefore the result's living. For the wages of sin is death, however the gift of God is living in Christ the Nazarene our Lord." (Romans 6:22-23)
The lyrics create regard to Matthew 11:28-30: "Come to Maine all you United Nations agency square measure weary and carry serious burdens, and that i can provide you with rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let Maine teach you, as a result of i'm humble and delicate, and you'll notice rest for your souls. For my yoke fits dead, and therefore the burden I provide you with is light-weight."
For generating word-pictures in my mind, i really like the references to the Lord as a dashing watercourse and Holy Fountain.
And we will scan in Psalms:
"How valuable is your unfailing love! each high and low among men notice refuge within the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house; you provide the drink from your watercourse of delights. For with you is that the fountain of life; in your light-weight we have a tendency to see light-weight." (Psalm 36:7-9)
...And in Revelation:
"To all United Nations agency square measure thirsty i'll provide the springs of the water of life while not charge!" (Rev. 21:6b)
And directly from the mouth of Jesus:
"'If you're thirsty, return to Maine! If you think in me, return and drink! For the Scriptures declare that rivers of living water can ensue inside.'" (John 7:37b-38)
Another word that had a sway on Maine, however that stunned Maine, was devastate. I knew of its usage solely in terms of devastation to, or to ravage. however what a good word and a good request on behalf of me to form of God! It conjointly means: arouse; elicit; kindle; evoke; fire; raise; provoke; overwhelm; overpower; sweep over; overcome; overtake; confound; stun.
I say "Lord, arouse Maine to You, so proceed to overwhelm, sweep over, and every one the remainder. Just do it, Lord! And, Lord, whereas you are at it, act and lay waste to and ravage everything You see in Maine that's not of You."
If you're taking the words as your own and pray them as you commune with our Heavenly Father, i am certain He can lead you to alternative words that have the foremost which means for you; that draw the clearest picture; that bring you into His presence the nearest and prepare you for spoken language with Him.
The sweetest times of concentrating on being within the Lord's presence square measure those once we return to not kindle anything--no matter however vital and precious those requests square measure to Him--but those times once we say,
"Father, i do not return to You currently to induce something. I've prayed concerning my desires and needs already and Your Word says they are met consistent with Your wealth in glory by Christ the Nazarene. Now, I simply return to be with You. If you have got something you want to inform Maine, i am able to listen. i need You to grasp that no matter I see in Your Word or hear from You, I'll do."
Then sit or kneel in His presence and revel in His company.
I pray the words of this song are helpful to you in your prayer time which some time with Him are additional precious thanks to it.
Love.
