Into The Sky

This past weekend, Mike and I were able to go to Grove City Church of the Nazarene to experience an incredible night of worship called A Night with The King. The music was awesome and the presence of the LORD fell heavy on both of us. I was incredibly grateful for the time we got to spend talking with friends and for this time of refreshing. When the music started, we saw the little children dancing and singing, twirling around, and smiling. Not one of them was fussing, fighting or crying...just dancing...free. I watched them and so did Mike. During this time, I think we both somehow discovered how caught up in our lives we have been and how much we need Jesus. I think we also discovered a new way to approach Him. This song is written by Jason Upton. Jason has a 6 year old son named Samuel. One day Samuel came into the worship room and said, "Hey Dad, I'd like to write a song for Jesus". So, they wrote this song together. I was reminded of it on Friday while we were watching those children. It goes like this:

Hey Jesus, are ya still on the cross

or are You feeling better?

Hey Jesus, can You come play with me

I am ready and willing

Won't You come down, down, down

down to the ground

To the "next to me" place
with a smile on my face
and a song in my ear...
Around and around

and around and around

and around we go

Hey Jesus, when I wave at You

do You wave back too?

Hey Jesus, when I'm feeling sad

do You feel sad too?

Hey Jesus, if we throw these books

do you think they will fly?

Hey Jesus, can I touch the moon?

throw me into the sky

And then I'll come down, down, down

down to the ground

to the "next to me" place

with a smile on my face

and a song in my ear.
