Often during my time with God I listen to worship music to help focus my minds attention and my hearts affection. This morning I was listening to Steve Fee and I found his song “Sacred Space” particularly moving. I wanted to share the lyrics with you:
In you, Jesus, in you, Jesus, in you Jesus
It’s where my heart is purified. The only place I feel alive. It’s where my Father beckons me. It’s where this child is meant to be.
In you, Jesus, in you, Jesus, in you Jesus
It’s where I run. It’s where I hide. It’s where you hold me safe inside.
It’s where I live. And where I breathe. And where I look upon your beauty
It’s where I fall. It’s where rest. Where I find you love me best
In you, Jesus, in you, Jesus, in you Jesus,
Prayer
In you, Jesus, in you, Jesus, in you Jesus
It’s where I tremble with holy fear. It’s where my questions disappear. It’s where my feet begin to dance. When I realize where I am.
I’m in you, Jesus. I’m in you, Jesus.
In you Jesus
In the midst of this song there is a powerful and moving prayer. I love prayers like this when my words are lacking:
The throne of my heart has an incompetent ruler without you. I look to you for the love of you, the peace from you, to silence all the noise with you. To bring tranquility to all the scattered thoughts with you. I learn to think of you and not of me. To go deep in you until I lose who I used to be. With you I can be everything you intended me to be. And it’s in this sacred space where I lay my ability to be anything without you. Where I lay my preconceived notions about you. Where I forget about me, to remember that life is about you. To remember I live for your smile; to remember I live for your smile more than I live to please the crowd. Make me like water. See through me; see you through me. Nothing left of me to see. Cleanse me. Immerse me in purity. Wash me of iniquity. Help me to choose you, to lavish you with a lifestyle worthy of you. To lavish you with more than words, to lavish you with all that you deserve. I surrender because you are more than life. Prayer found in the song “Sacred Space” by Steve Fee
Amen.

The last line of the prayer is actually: “I surrender because you are more than my cognitive knowledge.
