As I sat down at the piano to put music to the lyrics, a few changes emerged.
The main truth being emphasized that He captures our hearts…..to set them free!!!
You illuminate the hollows in my soul
with the penetrating light of your truth
you breathe….
a gentle breath that warms me from within
it is healing and strangely I feel safe
it beckons my heart and soul
to find rest in your strong arms
You have persued me
for as long as I can remember
You proclaim that I am your treasure….
and that you will come for me again for me
as long as it takes
You break through the dungeon doors
that have held my thoughts captive
unraveling the lies that have become part of the fabric,
one at a time:
strands of rejection have left me alone over and over
cords of abandon have silenced me
In my confinement You came for me
to capture my heart
to set it free
just to be
me
You continue to persue me
to remind me of your love
to show me something more
Capture me again, oh God
Nothing can seperate us from the love of God…..
“unraveling the lies that have become part of the fabric:
strands of rejection
cords of abandon
knots of confusion
In my confinement You came for me
to set me free
and You continue to persue me”
Thank you, Storie.
It’s good to have you back, if only for this.
Thank God for his pursuit. Good to hear from you Storie!

^^^ Tam has already made me very aware of your singing skills. Can we hear something soon?!?
I didn’t know you were a musician! Sweet!
Do me a favor Storie. Pray for me regarding my desire to learn to play the guitar. I just sold my guitar, but I needed the money for my cleaning business, and I can always buy another guitar. I kept all my books, so I’m good to go.
It’s been a dream on my heart for some time, but I also have some other priorities that need attention before that. The guitar keeps coming up though. Pray that God will empower me to think, dream and act clearly about this desire. And if it’s not to be pray that He will reveal that to me as well. I realize it might also be a either way kind of thing.
I don’t want to be the next Steven Curtis Chapman. I just want to be able to play and sing around campfires, special teen functions (not even the teen praise band) and kid functions. If the talent is there, and I think it is if I apply myself then I want to lead kids and adults into the presence of God with worship. And I know life is worship. Everything I do from scrubbing a toilet to leading a small group discussion is worship, but if it’s the Lord’s will I’d like to be led to develop my talent in praising Him through playing and singing.
Thank you for a wonderful blog! The lyrics are rich and deep. Have a great day.
