Where Nothing Else Matters

I don't know what to say. I can't articulate how I'm feeling or what I'm thinking. There is so much. Good and bad. I feel encouraged, but still grappling with the chatter in my brain. I'm trying to wait. Have patience. Trust. Believe Him. Believe His promises. Trust in His abounding, unfailing, enduring love. Overwhelmed, I get in my own way. Not my way, but His way. It's not up to me. It never was. Surrender. Who am I? I am nothing. I am a vapor. Prideful. See Him, not me.

BEAUTIFUL/BE STILL/SWEEP ME AWAY - by Kari Jobe (excerpts)
Here before Your alter
I am letting go of all I've held
Of every motive, every burden
Everything that's of myself
And I just wanna wait on You, my God
I just wanna dwell on who You are
Here in Your presence
I am not afraid of brokenness
To wash Your feet with humble tears
I would be poured out till nothing's left
And I just wanna wait on You, my God
I just wanna dwell on who You are
-------------------------------------
Be still my soul, be still
Wait patiently upon the Lord
Be still my soul, be still
When the waves rise against me and the wind tries to draw me away
I will stand on the mountain, safe in Your arms I will sing I will sing
Be still I know He is God
He is here, He is here
-------------------------------------
Tears rolling down my face
Because of Your love and Your sweet embrace
The peace that just overflows
It's here that I know You have been waiting to
Sweep me away, sweep me away in Your love
Where nothing else matters
Sweep me away, sweep me away in Your love
Where nothing else matters
Just You and me, just You and me
Sweep me away, oh Lord
Your grace, it covers me
Your love, it covers me
Oh God, You cover me
