Desperate for changing

At dinner last night, I heard a song on the radio that first inspired me a few years ago.
~~~

I was jogging at the lake, enjoying the beauty and nature God created.
I had been struggling to trust God more, particularly with my yearning, nearly desperate desire to extend our family with a child. It didn't come easy for us, and was easy to get sucked into the medical/clinical side of things...what the doctor said, what options to try, possible answers and possible solutions.I just remember that time in my life well, as it was a rollercoaster ride of emotions month, after month, after month. This song came on the radio as I jogged, and it hit me immediately as to who they were singing about.
The words pierced my heart and tears streamed down my face...not sadness, just truth...a connection between those words, God, and my life. A similar reaction occurs every time I hear it.

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me
now..
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and I question where to go
And I don't know what I'm tapping into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That can change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and I question where to go
And I don't know what I'm tapping into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

Just hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment here with you


It is still hard to think about a closeness with God as 'being in love'. But...I hope I come to understand that more and more as I spend time in His Word and in the quiet of His magnificent work.
May I continue to be desperate for changing...
and starving for Your truth.
