just dance

Holy, You are still holy
Even when the darkness surrounds my life
Sovereign, You are still sovereign
Even when confusion has blinded my eyes
Lord I don’t deserve Your kind affection
When my unbelief has kept me from Your touch
I want my life to be a pure reflection
Of Your love ...

So I come into Your chambers
And I dance at Your feet, Lord
You are my Savior
And I’m at Your mercy
All that has been in my life up to now
Belongs to You
You are still holy
-Rita Springer

Last night, this song moved me. I'm sure this song was probably written in the midst of more pain and suffering that I have ever experienced - yet confusion is confusion. As I wonder where my life is going and why God has allowed me to live on this earth, it's comforting to hear Rita sing that in presence of darkness and confusion, her solution and resolve is to enter His presence and dance. Not to work harder or create some master plan to figure things out. God is holy regardless of circumstance and will carry us through to the end.

So just dance.
