The Moment(with MCG)

This is a recording from a few months ago of me playing my favorite Crowder song "Stars" Enjoy!

Stars(David Crowder cover)

First song written in the new apartment!  
I was washing dishes the other day and the idea of how sometimes our stains don't get immediately washed away came to my head.  Just like a coffee stain on a mug or dried oatmeal on a bowl, some of our issues need to soak in the Holy Spirit before they can begin to be wiped away.  I think most of this has to do with our own attitude and ability to let go.  Anyway, I decided to write a song about washing dishes.  Just kidding!  It actually ended up being about rest more than anything else.  It's called Soak.  Here's the lyrics and a tentative recording of how it goes:

Oh the stains, oh the stains
left from years I had died
They make me run, oh run
from You and from love

I just want to be better
want it all to go away
but You call me into the deep

I soak myself in Your love
and all of me is somehow enough
My life is made good by Your touch
when I soak myself in Your love

Oh the rest, oh the rest
that I needed for so long
softens my heart, oh my heart
free to beat life to my scars

Being with You makes me better
and I'm learning to trust you with time
as You call me into the deep

(chorus)
