Music

I love music. It so easily draws me into worship. Last weekend at the "Just Give Me Jesus" conference I was introduced to the music of Fernando Ortega. Fernando Ortega is not a new name for me but I've never before listened to his music. But now there is one of his songs that I simply cannot get out of my head or my heart. It's called "Jesus, King of Angels" and the lyrics are below. It's a simple little song and an great song to have floating around your head all day and all night...

Jesus, King of angels, heaven's light,
Shine Your face upon this house tonight.
Let no evil come into my dreams;
Light of heaven, keep me in Your peace.

Remind me how You make dark spirits flee,
And spoke Your power to the raging sea.
And spoke Your mercy to a sinful man;
Remind me, Jesus, this is what I am.

The universe is vast beyond the stars,
But You are mindful when the sparrow falls,
And mindful of the anxious thoughts
That find me, surround me, and bind me . . . .

With all my heart I love You, Sovereign Lord.
Tomorrow, let me love You even more.
And rise to speak the goodness of Your name
Until I close my eyes in sleep again.

The universe is vast beyond the stars,
But You are mindful when the sparrow falls,
And mindful of the anxious thoughts
That find me, surround me, and bind me . . . .

Jesus, King of angels, heaven's light,
Hold my hand and keep me through this night.

Amen and amen...
