You hold the weight of the world
Still I don't slip through Your hands
Your love is bigger
Than just a notion built by man
I fall again and again,
But you whisper, “You're still mine.”
You feel the pain of the world,
But you never push mine aside.

(Chorus)
And You reach for me
With a love that quiets all my fears
And You reach for me
Like a Father wipes away the tears
So many people in this world,
But I hear You calling out my name.
You reach for me.
Now I'm never gonna be the same.

You know all of my fears
There's nothing Your eyes can't see.
When I tried to give up,
Lord, You never gave up on me.
I give You all of my hopes and dreams,
I lay them down.
Of all the place I've looked,
You're the one truth I have found.

And You reach for me
With a love that quiets all my fears
And You reach for me
Like a Father wipes away the tears
So many people in this world,
But I hear You calling out my name.
You reach for me.
Now I'm never gonna be the same.

You hold the weight of the world,
Still I don't slip through Your hands.
You put the stars in the sky.
You know every grain of sand.

And You reach for me
With a love that quiets all my fears
And You reach for me
Like a Father wipes away the tears
So many people in this world,
But I hear You calling out my name.
You reach for me.
Now I'm never gonna be the same.

You reach for me.
For me.

WOW!! That's a great song by Peter Furler! God is bigger than anything we are facing! Think about the lyrics for a minute... He holds the weight of the world, yet each of us don't slip through His hands... He put the stars in the sky, but He knows every grain of sand! He is in total control even when we think it's all out of control. Isaiah 55:8-9 says "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways," declares the Lord. "As the Heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways and My thoughts than your thoughts." And while He is in control of ALL that is going on in the universe & this planet, He wants a relationship with US, between our hearts & His heart. A close walk with us. Who are WE that the creator of EVERYTHING wants to be near us in all of our faults & imperfections?? AWESOME right?! :) He calls us by name.. He reaches for us, for our hearts so that not only will we benefit, but so that those around us will benefit by seeing God's love & light shining in us. May God shine through you today & everyday in amazing, incredible boldness!!! ~ Randa
