you hold my world

I love love love Israel Houghton. Last night I was told that he had a new album out, and I went to itunes immediately to download it. Perfect timing. SO perfect. Joe and I have agreed that he would take the kids on Thursdays so that I can have a day off. They're with me the rest of the week. He comes in the mornings and takes the girls to school three days a week while I'm at work, but now I'll take the girls to school (after a stop at Starbucks as long as they're ready early enough!) and then have the rest of the day to run errands, read a book, catch up on work around the house, go to a movie... basically whatever. So I was really looking forward to today: a chance to blast this new album while getting some things done at home. And this song hit me at such the perfect time, in such a perfect way. The lyrics:

Take my heart/ Lord will You take my heart/ As I surrender to Your will/ I confess You are my righteousness/ And until You move me I'll be still/ And know that You are God/ YOU HOLD MY WORLD IN YOUR HANDS/ YOU HOLD MY WORLD IN YOUR HANDS AND/ I AM AMAZED AT YOUR LOVE/ I AM AMAZED THAT YOU LOVE ME/ YOU HOLD MY WORLD IN YOUR HANDS/ YOU HOLD MY WORLD IN YOUR HANDS AND/ I'M NOT AFRAID MY WORLD IS SAFE/ IN YOUR HANDS OH/ IN YOUR HANDS/ Take my life/ Lord will You take my life/ You are the reason that I live/ I believe You have forgiven me/ And by Your grace I will forgive/ And know that You are God/ And know that You are God/ You won't let go of me/ You won't let go of me/ You won't let go of me/ You won't let go never let go/ You will take care of me/ You will take care of me/ You will take care of me/ You will take care always take care/ You hold my world in Your hands/ You hold my world/ And You won't let go

My suggestion: Proceed directly to itunes and download asap. Enjoy. And feel the love.
