The last few months Matt and I have gone through some really hard things. Our marriage has been tested, I have been tested, and I have found myself in a place of feeling stretched, challenged and pulled in every area of my life. Through it all, God has been my constant, my comfort, and my reassurance. That in all of the crazy, the pain, the loss, the unknowns, He never leaves. He is there, He is with me. We hadn’t been to church in a few weeks, and my heart was needing His touch. I love to dance, to move, to be free before Him. I also love to sing, and lift my voice. I was greeted by one of the most comforting voices as I walked into the doors that morning. Dear friends were leading (yay!! Shari and Heath!) and my heart felt at home.
They did a song called Closer, which I had never heard before. I stood at the front of the church, not singing, not dancing, but crying like a baby, letting Him remind me of who he is, that he holds me close, that he also desires to know my heart, I need only to allow him in. And he shared with me a piece of his heart.
One day I may have the courage to share more, or I might not. But today, I wanted to share with you this song from Bethel. It has been on repeat in my house and it is my hearts cry put into a song. It moves me and I deeply feel the Holy Spirit in this song. It is from the album For the Sake of the World. Enjoy

Verse:
Your love has ravished my heart
And taken me over, taken me over
And all I want is to be
With You forever, with You forever
Chorus 1:
Pull me a little closer
Take me a little deeper
I want to know Your hear
I want to know Your hear
Cause Your love is so much sweeter
Than anything I’ve tasted
I want to know Your heart
I want to know Your heart
Bridge:
Whoa, whoa, how great Your love is for me
Whoa, whoa, how great is Your love
Chorus 2:
Pull me a little closer
Take me a little deeper
I want to know Your heart
I want to know Your heart
Cause Your love is so much stronger
Than anything I’ve faced and
I want to know Your heart
I want to know Your heart
