The Space in Between Us
Jonathan Yuen
Look at my heart again
Look at the mess I’ve got it in
I’m trying to trust in You
To know that you’ll see me through
Through my pride
Through my shame
Into Your love
Into Your grace
I’m not looking back
Till I see Your face
and I’m running straight to You
Because
All I really want to do is to fall into
The emptiness that is
The space in-between us
To break this division
All I really want to do is to fall into
The emptiness that is
The space in-between us
Erase it and bring us together again
My life’s like an open book
Nothing is hidden when you look
You break through my boundaries
Revealing my insecurities
But through my pride
And through my shame
You show me love
You show me grace
I’m not looking back
Till I see your face
& I’m running straight to you
Because
Here I am saying I need you
I know I need you
Here I am, I’m coming to meet you
Cause I want to see you
There are always those times that you fall away from God. One day you’re on FIRE...the next you forget what you said the day before. Life just throws so many things at you where u lose track, whether its pressures from school, college, or even thinking about a significant other or dreaming of it. When you finally wake up, you realize "Crud. Where am I? … What have I been doing?" You’re in shock. You’ve wasted all that time on something that’s conditional, and forgot about the unconditional love of God. You don’t feel worthy to go back, and you’re still consumed by what you’re thinking about. But hear me out I guess the whole reason of what I'm doing here is, before u start worrying about anything, check you’re relationship with God. Are you doing quiet times daily? Do you listen to what he says? Heck...do you even pray to Him? It’s hard. I know. But before you try to do anything on your own, seek God's directions first. Patch up your relationship with Him. When you are empty on earth, at least you won’t be empty in spirit. Heck, when your spiritual gas tank is full, what CAN go wrong?
Lift everything to Him. "For I know the plans I have for you, said the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans that will... give you a future". With that promise from God, why would you need to worry?
I guess that’s where this song comes in. All I really want to do is get back to where I was a few years ago. Where God was God and not something that I pray to just to satisfy the Christian doctrine. Where worship was worship and not playing a few songs because I had to. To call myself a Christian and TRULY mean it. I want to start back from square 1 no; I want to start from square 0. And I know he’s waiting for me to come back, just like how he’s waiting for some of you to do the same.
