I am now inlove with this song! <3 You're a blessing from above Monica! Thank you for this song! :)

Hello! I wrote this song last year after the East Cluster Discovery Camp "Exhale" and the St. Matthew's Gr. 7 retreat "My Seven From Heaven." 

I was really inspired from all of the blessed experiences from being a member of CFC-Youth (a year and a half at the time) as well as the many opportunities of service from my home parish. Throughtout those past years, I truly felt that God was calling me to be a fellow servant, but due to my insecurities of myself, I've held back numerous times. Things like my age, baggage, and struggles prevented me from ultimately glorifying His name. But Praise God for spiritual growth, caring brothers and sisters, and one-on-one time with the One who created me! Overtime I've stumbled upon bible verses that have spoken out to me (1 Timothy 4:12 for example) and an epiphany that everyone who is made by God is destined for Greatness because we are all given an opportunity to serve Him. "For if God only used perfect people, nothing would ever get done". 

This songs mean a lot to me because it was the first thing I've ever written by myself. But I was inspired by a lot of people, which indeed assisted with writing this prayer. A friend of mine once shared with me one of his short prayers which simply enough was "My Jesus."

Thank you for listening and reading! I hope that this prayer has somehow inspired you in a way!

God bless,

Lyrics & Chords: 

Reaching

Verse 1: F#m - E - A
Loving God, You have chosen me
To love You, to serve You
And I can hear Your voice calling out to me
My Father of awe and wonder

Pre chorus: B - F#m -  C#m - B - F#m - A
You are the holy king of everlasting glory
Take me and lead me to Your cross and to eternity

Chorus: E - F#m - A
You're reaching, reaching out to me Lord
I can feel your presence dwelling inside of me
I'm seeking, seeking ways to break free
From my sins and failures and praying for Your mercy

Verse 2: F#m - E - A
Mighty one the Savior of the Earth
For He reigns with His holy name
By the power of His divine spirit
He rules alone on the highest throne

F#m  - E - A
You're reaching, You're reaching, You're reaching out to me
I'm seeking, I'm seeking, ways to break free

Bridge: B - C#m - A
So if I break into a million pieces,
I'll pray to You my Jesus,
To make me anew

It's good to be back! Here's a short take on a song that has been on repeat the past month. May it help you be aware of the Spirit moving despite the circumstances we face today. May you continue to be hopeful in this time of COVID-19. God bless!
