need you now...

I was searching on iTunes the other day, trying to procrastinate the reading of my summer homework! (Wuthering Heights... and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (and 1 essay for each of them)... plus 100 pages of AP American History textbook, with an 8-page packet) And I was looking at some of Chris Tomlin's older stuff. (2001, I think!). And I found this song called "Need You Now". The lyrics are short, but they are so true and real. They go:

Time for me to step out of the water,
Time for me to just loose my hold,
and it's time for me to leave here,
all that I've hoped for.
Could you take me where I need to go?
I am waiting for your love,
I am reaching for your touch,
lost without you, God reach down,
I need you now, I need you now.

I think we all need those lyrics. I know that right now, Jesus is really talking to me about just letting go, and handing everything over to Him. It's like... we'll hand over certain things to Jesus, or we'll hand over everything but only to a certain extent. With all my medical "mysteries" right now, I find myself doing that. And so my prayer lately has been that Jesus would just totally consume me and help me to hand every thing over, because I can't do this without Him!! And that we would all leave behind those little "hopes and dreams" that we make for ourselves. And we can't do that on our own.
Jesus, we need you now, we need you now...
