If
you’ve been reading this blog for a while now, then you know one thing about
me: Music is how I really connect with God. There are points in my
life where a certain song really gets me in tune with God and allows Him to
speak into my life in ways that no words on a page could ever do.
Well,
recently another song has been reaching me in that way. I had my first
real encounter with this song at Winter Jam in Columbus when the band Building
429 sang it along with 20,000 other people in attendance. The song:
"Where I Belong".
What
hit me the most is the chorus of this song. The fact that all 20,000+
people in attendance were singing this all at the same time was just huge to
me. I felt His presence at that moment. Just read the words here:
All
I know is I'm not home yet
This is not where I belong
Take this world and give me Jesus
This is not where I belong
This is not where I belong
Take this world and give me Jesus
This is not where I belong
Up
to that moment, I don’t think I’d ever thought of my life here on Earth in that. Since I became a believer in Christ I’ve
known that the world wasn’t my home. But the
way this was sung along with an arena full of people really took it to another
level. This world is just a stopping place on our journey to
Heaven. The fact that this isn’t my home makes it easy to give up.
I’m willing to give up everything I have for Jesus. Are you?
Watch
and listen to the song on YouTube. The words are there on this version so
you can get the full effect of the song….well, as full as it gets without being
in a room full of other believers singing this out with all their hearts,
minds, and souls along with you!
