If you have ever been to a 3D bible study or event, you have probably heard the following passage of scripture.
Ezekiel 47:1-12 The Message (MSG) Trees on Both Sides of the River
47 1-2 Now he brought me back to the entrance to the Temple. I saw water pouring out from under the Temple porch to the east (the Temple faced east). The water poured from the south side of the Temple, south of the altar. He then took me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the gate complex on the east. The water was gushing from under the south front of the Temple.
3-5 He walked to the east with a measuring tape and measured off fifteen hundred feet, leading me through water that was ankle-deep. He measured off another fifteen hundred feet, leading me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another fifteen hundred feet, leading me through water waist-deep. He measured off another fifteen hundred feet. By now it was a river over my head, water to swim in, water no one could possibly walk through..."Early this morning I heard a new song from Bethel Live. As I ran on the treadmill, the presence of God filled my heart once again. It filled it as promised, with new mercies for today. It filled with new hunger, determination to move further away from the shore. It filled my heart with hope and peace that the instant I call upon your name, you show up. It filled my heart in so many ways.
Take a moment to listen, read the lyrics, and hear the heart cry of this song. Thank you Lord, that even at knee depth waters, you keep calling us further. You call us to freedom. You call our hearts to come back to you. You are always calling on us. Always forgiving. Always kind and just. God, we give you our lives this day. We ask for you to take our hand and lead us into deep water, where we can be, beautifully in over our heads. Because that is where you want us to be. Tear down the boxes we have put you in. We give you free reign to move in our lives. You are so good, God.
I have come to this place in my life
I’m full but I’ve not satisfied
This longing to have more of You
I can feel it my heart is convinced
I’m thirsty my soul can’t be quenched
You already know this but still
Come and do whatever You want to
I’m standing knee deep but I’m out where never been
I feel You coming and I hear Your voice on the wind
Would you come and tear down the boxes that I have tried to put You in
Let love come teach me who You are again
Take me back to the place where my heart was only about You
And all I wanted was just to be with You
Come and do whatever You want to
Further and further my heart moves away from the shore
Whatever it looks like, whatever may come I am Yours
Further and further my heart moves away from the shore
Whatever it looks like, whatever may come I am Yours
[x2] Then You crash over me and I’ve lost control but I’m free
I’m going under, I’m in over my head
And You crash over me, I’m where You want me to be
I’m going under, I’m in over my head
Whether I sink, whether I swim
It makes no difference when I’m beautifully in over my head
Whether I sink, whether I swim
It makes no difference when I’m beautifully in over my head
I’m Beautifully in over my head
I’m Beautifully in over my head
