A Change of Pace
Today I want to share with you one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a really long time. It's been one of my favorites for almost a year (which is saying volumes if you know how much music I listen to.) Every time that I hear it my heart is quieted, my mind is shifted, my spirit is provoked, my belly burns for more of Him, my love is reflamed, and my vision is cleared. I know it's merely a melody of earth, but I'd like to think that Bethany was deep in worship when this song poured out from her heart. I hope that you will enjoy it and be blessed as well!
"The Kingdom" - Bethany Dillon
It tapped me on the shoulder today when I got home
I saw everything collecting dust
It made me hope there was something more
I pour over pages, desperate to find out why
The cripple at your table has what I'm longing to find
Teach me how to hum it
Because I don't know the words yet
Help me see the light
I'm reaching through the fight
Yahweh, show me the Kingdom
Arms open wide
Death swallowed up by life
Yahweh, show me the Kingdom
Why are some women barren
While the wicked's house is full
The stories never seem to end
Give me evidence I'm not alone
You said the weak would be lifted up
But maybe just not yet
So while I wait in this flesh and blood
I'll learn to lean in
Help me see the light
I'm reaching through the fight
Yahweh, show me the Kingdom
Arms open wide
Death swallowed up by life
Yahweh, show me the Kingdom

soo i've heard this song a thousand times too, but reading the words and watching her sing it gave me chills.
You said the weak would be lifted up
But maybe just not yet

I'll learn to lean in
