All this time.

Your invitation to Fusion.

As I drove into work yesterday (enjoying another traffic delay) I began listening to the new Delirious? CD [again] called ‘The Mission Bell’. As the music resonated around my car this song really stood out to me and I was struck by its honesty and hope.
It ends with a line that reminds me of Isaiah 60:1 “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.” I had this verse saved on my mobile phone for some time and every time I noticed it these words would inspire/remind me to live for Christ.

All This Time

I’m a father and a son; I’ve been a lover with just one,
But this world can get me all undone,
And I’m frightened I’m the only one.
I wrestle with the thoughts I keep,
If I sow the seed of arrogance then it’s loneliness I’ll reap,
It’s loneliness I’ll reap.

Please don’t leave me stranded here,
With a head of lies and a heart of fear.
My life’s a show on Gods TV,
The world an audience, watching me.

So wake me, shake me, keep me sharp,
As I touch the power of Gods great harp.
And this world can fill your head with praise,
That steals me from eternal grace.
So how can I serve God and wealth?
I can captivate an army, but I can’t control myself.
I can’t control myself.

Ghostly figure out at sea, I hear a voice that’s calling me,
To walk upon the waves of faith.
For in the arms of God, I am safe.

All this time, since the day that I was born,
I’ve never known a time like this,
I don’t wanna let you down.

I will sing, sing for your light has come.
