Carry On...

As many of you know, my life has been filled with music from the time I was born until present day. Whether I was singing in a church choir or playing my saxophone in an ensemble. Through music notes and words, I can express myself for any situation that I am faced with on a daily basis. Today as I drove into work, I was listening to 104.7 The Fish in Atlanta and heard one of my favorite songs by Chris Rice. The song, Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus), truly inspires to seek God in what you do. At times, we are like a child who is learning to crawl in our walk with God but understand we are not perfect. Sometimes, we do fall down but we need to learn to let the ways of the world not get to us and follow God's purpose. Seek His Truth. Just because one falls we are not to stop and turn back. I had a fraternity brother ask me yesterday why does God's armor not cover our back and I thought to myself, "...because God has our back" but he stated, "it is because we are not to look back." I could not agree with him more. The past is the past and we must move forward. It took me so long to realize that God wants me to move forward and the fight worth fighting is ahead of me not behind me.

So, when you feel like all is lost and you are in your darkest point in life, cry out to Jesus. He will listen. He is waiting for you to speak. Of all your friends, He never left you. As Jeremy Camp sings, I will walk by faith even when I cannot see it. Faith and believing for a Christian it is what helps us make it through life. Believe it what the Lord is doing in your life and pray that you can continue to humble yourself before Him (I know I do that alot more now) daily. God is Love.

Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus) by Chris Rice

Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!

Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!

And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!

Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!

O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!

And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus

Fly to Jesus and live!
