Erin's Theme Song

Do you remember this commercial? Some guy is sitting on a bench and a lady walks up and he says, "What's that?" She goes into some insurance explanation(or something - I remember a lion for some reason). The man says, while pointing another direction, "No - what's that?" We see a man walking (strutting actually) down the street and behind him is another guy carrying a huge jambox. Then the lady says, "That's a man with his own theme music."

I found a song, that I've had for a long time, but it just hit me with such power today. I listened to it over and over. I wanted to put the lyrics here, but if you can, listen to it. It's on iTunes.

Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus)
Chris Rice

Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live

Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live

And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live

Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live

O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live

And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live

The reason it moved me so much today is it just seems to be my life:

Come to Jesus & Sing to Jesus I became a Christian as a child.

Fall on Jesus I have said that the reason God allowed my divorce to happen is because He was jealous of where I had placed my love. He knocked my feet out from under me, but instead of falling apart, I fell toward Him and that made all the difference.

Cry to Jesus Right now I'm in a lonely stage of life and all He wants is for me to cry to Him.

So I have my love overflowing and truly dancing for Him to look forward to - and that's so cool! I don't think that's just a one time thing either. I believe I've danced for Him before and I believe this loneliness will pass and I'll be dancing for Him again. In fact, it seems that just acknowledging my loneliness and allowing God to reign there, seems to be making it decrease. Imagine that. Then, one day, I will fly to Him.

Psalm 34:17-18
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
He delivers them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the Lord
and He will give you the desires of your heart.
