Worthless Fighting

Fighting on our own is
exhausting...
depressing...
endless...
painful...

worthless...

We can only look to Him in our battle! I hate fighting on my own, but all to often from big to small battles we think we can just step up to the ring all alone...of the relief, peace, joy, comfort and more when we Look to Him instead of worthlessly fighting on our own.

Here is an awesome line in the bridge of this song:

Defeat is calling

I need you to set me free

Take me far away from the battle

I need you to shine on me!!!!

I've never heard this song sung better nor with such heart! And her testimony is beautiful. Listen to Selah's version of this song below:

The Altar

Repeat.

I've had this song on repeat for over a week now. It's simply pure and beautiful. It's inviting and healing. And as I sing it over and over I can't help but sing this with some people in mind that I beg would release their pain and frustration and come rest and cry at the altar.

"The Altar" lyrics...

There is a place, a place I've found
Not made of earth, not made of stone
This place is sacred, this place is secret
Here in the presence of a Holy God
Here in the presense of a Holy God

Come to this place, come seek His face
Find the hands of forgiveness
Look in the eyes of grace
Run to redemption with tears of joy and pain
Let fire fall and purify our hearts
Come to the altar, come to His arms

There's a place, a place of healing
There is no shame within your scars
This place is sacred, this place is secret
Here in the presence of a Holy God
Here in the presence of a Holy God

Be still and know that He is God
Be still and know that He is God

Come to this place, Come seek His face
Find the hands of forgiveness
Look in the eyes of grace
Run to redemption with tears of joy and pain
Let fire fall and purify our hearts
Come to the altar, come to His arms
