my new song 'from my head to my feet'

I think the best worship song come out of genuinely intimate times spent in the presence of God, for that reason I can only speak of the few I've written but this one is very powerful for me. It's a simple response and declaration of what God has done and continues to do. I love that God picked me from a crowd.

In mercy meet me where I stand
You hand picked me from the crowd
You bled and died to save my soul
You make me whole

What grace you shower over me
From me head to my feet
Such love you pour out constantly
From my head to my feet

mountain man and moisture man - together we'll fight crime

considering the week ive had, i have something to be happy about. ive been really blessed by having steve oliver come and speak to our church this weekend, i felt like we have things in common and he really spoke into my life.

'you are to be known as a mountain man, god will use you to move mountains. you have a very unusual annointing and to many people it will seem very odd at times. he wants you to receive the gift of risk taking and faith.'

this is a verse that a good friend was awoken in the night and felt led to for me.

'above all else guard your heart for it is a wellspring of life.'

so although personally and emotionally this has probably been the worst week of my life, all these things have led to a real touch from god. i feel for the first time since i returned from cambodia that god has been watching my faithfulness and is willing to pour out his favour.
