When do you feel like you don’t belong WITH Jesus?
When do you feel like you don’t belong WITH Jesus? This is the scene in the play when the villain enters. Let’s call him SHAME!
I just released a new song for the world to pray called I Belong. It is in direct response to the lies and songs that “SHAME/EVIL” shouts at you and me everyday:
“You blew it again... you reacted out of anger again, there’s no coming back from this … you got carried away WITH desire for something or someone else... you went too far this time, grace has limits… you went further into sin than you’ve gone before, God’s not happy WITH you...you should hide from Him...try to earn back His love...if you try hard enough, maybe He’ll take you back…” And so the cycle begins again!
What if we sang this prayer everyday?
Hallelujah I belong here
In your presence
Safe and secure
I see hope coming on the horizon
And there is no need for hiding
Cause I belong
Here I am
In the presence of the great I am
Near to Your heart oh God
I have found my joy
I’ve searched so long
In darkness I’ve walked so far
Fighting but I’m holding on
When Your love draws near
Hallelujah I belong here
In your presence
Safe and secure
I see hope coming on the horizon
And there is no need for hiding
Cause I belong
I often fail
But daily Your love prevails
Christ my peace within
I will trust in You
In Your presence Lord
Joys will overflow
You are God and friend
I am home again
Hallelujah I belong here
In your presence
Safe and secure
I see hope coming on the horizon
And there is no need for hiding
Cause I belong
I belong here
I belong here
I belong here in Your presence
What if we lived like this were true all day long? WE BELONG WITH JESUS no matter what...even on our worst day!
