His Provision

At the moment of my weakness,
When my need for pow'r is plain,
And my own strength is exhausted once again,
Then my Lord has made provision
For the day of my despair,
And His precious Holy Spirit hears my prayer, my prayer,
Then my Lord has made provision
For the day of my despair,
And His precious Holy Spirit hears my prayer.

Holy Spirit! Promised Presence fall on me.
Holy Spirit! Make me all I long to be.
Holy Spirit! Holy Spirit!
Give your pow'r to me,
O Holy Spirit.

When the darkness falls around me,
When bewildered and afraid,
When I feel the most deserted and betrayed,
Then my ev'ry need is answered
By God's providential care,
And His precious Holy Spirit hears my prayer, my prayer,
Then my ev'ry need in answered
BY God's providential care,
And His precious Holy Spirit hears my prayer.

Nothing now can rob God's servant
Of the peace that He bequeaths,
Nothing take away the strength His presence breathes,
Of the EVERLASTING ARMS OF LOVE I'M DAILY MADE AWARE,
And His precious Holy Spirit hears my prayer, my prayer,
of the everlasting arms of love I'm daily made aware,
And His precious Holy Spirit hears my prayer.

A few days ago in a Sunday evening concert at my corps Major Mack was praying for the Army music forces and I got a picture in my head. It was of Jesus and I. I was holding Him really tightly, it was like we were hugging each other. It was almost like the biggest relief ever. Personally I am a very social person and I am always hugging people but nothing compared to this hug. And then He had His arm around me like we were best friends walking and we walked all around Star Lake Camp. It was strange. It may have happened because I was deliriously tired that day from being at the corps all day but it was an awesome thing to experience. Then the next day in English class I closed my eyes (yes I was falling asleep in english, shame, shame) I got the same picture except this time we were walking around the city. It was as if I didn't have a care in the world. No worries no shame..nothing. Later on that day as I was walking home the lyrics to the song His provision (one of my favs) got stuck in my head. The lines from the final verse stuck with me all day.

Peace. It's something very hard to find in this world. But for those few moments when I saw that... I experienced peace. At least what I think peace is. It was awesome and very rare. I just thought I was share this with you.
