song: cielo by phil wickham   video: found on vimeo by girl i don't know ;)

lately, when i'm driving,
this song is on repeat,
LOUD.
and i'm singing at the top of my lungs.
and the tears come.
and just won't stop.

especially at the part where he says,
...and i can't bow low enough
i can't bow low enough 
at the vision of you my God...


some days it feels like i don't have words to pray.
like i'm numb.
in a fog.
desperate to hear something.
feel something.
like there's some kind of wall between me+him.
just like this post so beautifully puts it.
have you been there?

but oh, i can sing 'em.
and i can imagine myself right there.
like i'm in heaven, singing with the rest of them.

[if you know me, you know i can't get through many worship songs without crying.
with all God's done in my life. done for us. he's just so beautiful to me. so faithful. so good. and i'm so thankful. worship to me is singing the words i can never get out. they just freely come.]

this is the best christmas song for my heart.
even though it doesn't talk about the manger.
you should listen.
and sing it LOUD.
:)

molly, i loved this post.
it's like you're speaking RIGHT from my heart.
music is my "love language" to God.......when i'm singing at the top of my lungs, i feel like i'm praising HIM with all of my heart and strength. it's what i know how to do best, SING PRAISES.....and when the tears come, it escalates to a whole new level of adoration ;)
i CANT WAIT to blast this song, but roman JUST fell asleep and our house is too small to blare anything during naptime!!!!!! but when he wakes up (especially during our 45 minute crazy clean up before daddy gets home....) YOU BETCHA i'll be crankin it.
you have a beautiful heart my dear sweet molly.
i know the Lord looks down at you and smiles ;)

I know JUST what you mean. It's odd that this time of year when we're celebrating the birth of our Savior is sometimes when I feel the most disconnected from Him. But, like you said, He is always GOOD. He knows our hearts. and He draws us close even when we don't always know how to come. :) thanks for sharing this song, and your hear too. :)
praying for you, sweet Molly, and missing you!

oh Molly. sweet Molly. Yes, I've been there. I think we all have. Especially after having a new precious one. Too much emotion, so much love and yet in a blurry haze. No words.
I am exactly the same way with worship and can rarely get through it without HOT HOT tears streaming down my face. Your savior, our God, so good to us even when we feel like we're hangin' on by a mere thread.
Praying for joy, peace, rest (lots of it) for your soul and that this fog will faaaade away.

Oh Molly girl, I love it. I so get the crying, I'm sure my church thinks I am going through A LOT of tough times...but it's just Him. I can't bow low enough...amazing.
