Awakenings

Matt Redman originally wrote this song based on David dancing before God in 2 Samuel 6; but for me David Crowder absolutely makes it come alive! I could listen to it again and again, dancing with my kids and absorbing the meaning deep into my soul.

It reminds me of the idea that its "All of me, all of my days, for all of you, God!" A Caleb life, if you will.
Do you have those times of abandon before God?
Years ago Robin Williams starred in the movie Awakenings, where he played a physician who found a cure for comatose patients. It's a wonderful movie and a call for all of us Christ followers to awaken from our slumber and help others find their own "grace moments".

Grace Moments awaken us to the larger work of God in our midst and lead us into worshipping a good God.

Undignified

I will dance
I will sing
To be mad
For my King
Nothing Lord
Is hindering
This passion in my soul

And I'll become
Even more undignified than this
Some may say
It's foolishness
But I'll become
Even more undignified than this
Leave my pride
By my side
And I'll become
Even more undignified than this
Some may say
It's foolishness
But I'll become
Even more undignified than this
Than this

La, la, la, la, la, HEY!
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, HEY!
La, la, la, la, la
It's all for You my Lord!
