LIKE INCENSE/SOMETIMES BY STEP

Hi! I'm back after a about a 2 year hiatus. Wanted to share this worship song with you. Maybe your heart needs it like mine has. Sometimes following God can feel disappointing when you can't see the bigger picture and everything you feel like you are doing isn't working. But I wanted to remind you that past our striving and disappointments is a God who can be trusted in all his goodness over our humanness. He gives us confidence in exactly what we need while living in brokenness. This song is a great heart check to help you posture your way back to him. It's not studio performance worthy but I'm grateful God still moves in the words and lyrics that we declare to Him. I'm including the lyrics here so they may resonate in your soul.

Psalms 46:10

"Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth". 

Verse 1

May my prayer like incense rise before You

The lifting of my hands as sacrifice

Oh Lord Jesus turn Your eyes upon me

For I know there is mercy in Your sight

Verse 2

Your statutes are my heritage forever

My heart is set on keeping Your decrees

Please still my anxious urge toward rebellion

Let love keep my will upon its knees

Chorus

Oh God, You are my God

And I will ever praise You

Oh God, You are my God

And I will ever praise You

Verse 3

To all creation I can see a limit

But Your commands are boundless and have none

So Your Word is my joy and meditation

From the rising to the setting of the sun

Verse 4

All Your ways are loving and are faithful

The road is narrow but Your burden light

Because You gladly lean to lead the humble

I shall gladly kneel to leave my pride

Chorus

Oh God, You are my God

And I will ever praise You

Oh God, You are my God

And I will ever praise You

Bridge

I will seek You in the morning

And I will learn to walk in Your ways

And step by step You'll lead me

And I will follow You all of my days
