Divine Romance

This morning, I heard a new song (well, new to me!) and I keep replaying it over and over. It is speaking to me...

Divine Romance
- Phil Wickham

The fullness of Your grace is here with me
The richness of Your beauty’s all I see
The brightness of Your glory has arrived
In Your presence God, I’m completely satisfied

For You I sing I dance
Rejoice in this divine romance
Lift my heart and my hands
To show my love, to show my love

A deep deep flood, an Ocean flows from You
Of deep deep love, yeah it’s filling up the room
Your innocent blood, has washed my guilty life
In Your presence God I’m completely satisfied

Wow. (Not to mention that there's a banjo in the version with a band!) Beautiful words, beautiful song, beautiful prayer. Divine Romance. Do I live like that? Do I live like I am in a DIVINE ROMANCE with my Jesus? Everyday? How can I not?!? I am reminded of what He did for me this week. He deserves ALL the glory - I deserve none - yet He chooses to pay attention to me and lift me up. We seem to have LOST the simplicity of what He longs for... a relationship with us. To WALK with us through good days and bad. To laugh and cry together, to grow together, to live together. I'm reminded that it's ME who pulls away sometimes. HE is ALWAYS there waiting. What He did for me is ENOUGH! He IS Divine Romance. How could I not live in that?
