Just Be – Paul Arnold
At the moment I am taking a kind of sabbatical from my ministry following God’s very clear message that I was doing too much. I have stopped to reflect on who I am before God and what shape my ministry should be. Stopping and pausing is difficult for me I like to be busy in a perverse way. I am too often a Martha rather than a Mary.
One Sunday during lockdown I heard a song on Songs of Praise that suddenly struck a chord:
Everything else can wait
I’ve come to seek Your face
So everything else can wait
I’m here for You, I want to
Just be, here at Your feet
Just be, here on my knees
Everything else can wait
I’ve come to seek Your face
So everything else can wait
I’m here for You, I want to
Just be, here at Your feet
Just be, here on my knees
Here in Your presence, I am complete
Jesus, You’re all that I need
So everything else can wait
I’ve come to seek Your face
Everything else can wait
I’m here for You, I want to
Just be, here at Your feet
Just be, here on my knees
Here in Your presence, I am complete
Jesus, You’re all that I need
The song is called Just Be and is on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI-ulpVhFAs
Something for us all to ponder and act on this Advent.
