One from my playlist

I heard this song a couple of weeks ago on the radio.  It struck a chord with me (ha!).  This is really how I feel about this journey and have felt this way from the beginning.  He seems to be better at putting it into words - and I really can't sing that well, so I enjoy someone to duet with :) 

When I heard the song, it made me think of the lesson I was going to be helping to teach in FirstLook (the preschool/kindergarten worship service at our church) the next Sunday.  It was about Samuel (he keeps popping up in my posts, huh?) and  listening for God's voice.  Kind of a difficult concept for 4,5, & 6 year olds, but it's amazing what they absorb and understand.  Such simple and uncluttered minds filled with wonder.  Anyway, we were going to be talking about how you may or may not hear an audible sound from God.  Maybe it's just a whisper.  Maybe it's something you read in your Bible (or that someone reads to you in their case).  Maybe it's a song that you hear.  Yep! That right there is most often when I hear from him. Through music.  I'm so thankful for a good Christian radio station here in St. Louis - JoyFM.  There are so many days when I turn it on and hear a song that I know is straight from Him for my benefit.  I love my quiet time with my devotion or just reading verses in the mornings too, but there is just something about words put to music for me.   

So the song is called Fall Apart by Josh Wilson (the picture says "See You" cause that's the name of the album and I couldn't find a picture with Fall Apart on it).  I couldn't figure out how to link the actual song either, but it is easy to find on iTunes and I promise it is good!

Fall Apart

Why in the world did I think I could



Only get to know you when my life was good?


When everything just falls in place


The easiest thing is to give you praise


Now it all seems upside down






'Cause my whole world is caving in


But I feel you now more than I did then


How can I come to the end of me


But somehow still have all I need?


God I want to know you more


Maybe this is how it starts


I find you when I fall apart






Blessed are the ones who understand


They've got nothing to bring but empty hands


Nothing to hide and nothing to prove


Our heartbreak brings us back to you


And it all seems upside down






'Cause my whole world is caving in


But I feel you now more than I did then


How can I come to the end of me


But somehow still have all I need?


God I want to know you more


Maybe this is how it starts


I find you when I fall apart






I don't know how long this will last


I'm praying for the pain to pass


But maybe this is the best thing that has ever happened to me






'Cause my whole world is caving in


But I feel you now more than I did then


How can I come to the end of me


But somehow still have all I need?


God I want to know you more


Maybe this is how it starts


I find you when--


You will find me when--


I fall apart
