Even though it is of utmost importance, following our Saviour closely doesn’t have to be stressful or painful. It can be a gentle, joyful and peace-filled walk with our Beloved’s arms around us.

Just when I think I know
What You want me to do
I find myself right out of Your Will.

And when I’m sure
Where You want me to be
I find Your Will has moved on.

Every moment, every day
Let me follow You closely, closely.
Every commitment, the words I say
Let them follow You closely, closely.
Closely.

This song is a sorrowful, heart-cry from the ghost of a people who have brought about their own downfall through their own foolish and sinful choices. At the same time, there is the echo of generational curses passed down from the fathers to the children. These people cry out in their suffering, confessing their own and their parent’s sins. Such heart-rending grief will never fail to move the heart of our Father God to bring about salvation.

Our parents sinned and are no more
And we bear their punishment
Slaves rule over us

And there is none to free us from their hand
Free us from their hand, free us from their hand.

The elders are gone from the city gate
The young men have stopped their music

Joy is gone from our hearts
The crown has fallen from our heads
Our dancing has turned to mourning

Woe to us! for we have sinned
Our hearts are faint, our eyes grow dim.

Song taken from Lamentations 5:7-17 in the Bible.

Download MP3 of Jude 24 (click here)

I have often thought of Father God as being critical, demanding, and difficult to please. Jude convinces me otherwise. Papa is better than the kindest, gentlest, most understanding, most loving father on earth. He is for us, not against us. He doesn’t blink an eye when we fail; when we succeed, even partially, He cheers us on.

You are able to keep me from falling (x3)
You are able to keep me, to keep me

You show me off in your glorious presence (x3)
Without fault, without fault and with great joy

You are proud of me even though you have kept me
You are proud of me
