"Hesitate" - Judah & the Lion // Brite Session



Come as you are, bring me your heart my child.
I've waited so long for you to become all mine.
I won't give up till I have all your love.

Don't hesitate when I say... Come away.
Don't hesitate when I say... Come away.  

Come as you are, bring me your heart and find.
I'm all you need, I'm all that satisfies.

Don't hesitate when I say... Come away.
Don't hesitate when I say... Come away.  

Come away with me, come away and you'll see who you are.
Com away with me, come away and you'll see who you are.  

I found this song several weeks ago.  It came a time when life was an ebb and flow.  (You know the weeks, when you are simply going through the motions.)  I was worried about all the "demands" that I place on myself.  The demands to perform, to be the best parent, to work hard, to be good.    But one night, I felt God's calling.  I didn't know why I was feeling led to turn off the television and just "be."  That was just the beginning of a time of renewal.  I was gently reminded that God doesn't want my "goodness" because its a pitiful offering to Him.  

Rather He wants me...  
He wants to rely on him 
to meet my deepest desires
 rather than on myself who is "duty bound."  
Psalm 17:15 Because I am righteous, I will see you. When I awake, I will see you face to face and be satisfied. (Psalms 17:15 NLT)      
So tonight as I fall asleep, 
I hope to wake up in the morning trusting that He is all I need.  
He is the only thing that can satisfy my deepest needs.

and by realizing that He is the only one who can truly satisfy,
I am giving Him the glory.  That is a much better offering for him.
