A God Moment

Last night I went to a David Crowder Band concert put on by the Church of God Convention in Michigan. Little did I know what God had in store for me...

I've always appreciated hymns - their authors and the history behind them. But I never really liked hymns. (My generation has this problem). So I never really expected to have a major God moment while singing a hymn.

Until last night.

DCB broke out the hymn Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing. I've never heard a rock version of this hymn before - it was incredible. Here are some of the words that we sang... "O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be! Let thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here's my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above."

Now, I have no idea what the heck a fetter is. Obviously it's something that binds...

But the TRUTH of this verse and PASSION/EMOTION of the music combined in one defining God moment. I've never been able to praise God as freely as I did last night. The intense and ferocious love that He has for me, my incredible debt that He completely demolished, the stupid decisions I make on a daily basis, and the commitment I've made to him as a kid of the King of Kings - all of these thoughts came crashing down on me all at once.

I wept.

A lot.

Then we sang Amazing Grace - acapella... and God just took me right to my knees. I've always wanted to bow before God during a worship service - but that stupid pride that I have in me always kept me from it. Last night - I didn't have a choice. Why? Because God knelt with me. TOGETHER, we re-committed my passions, my summer, my goals, my dreams, my will, my love, my energy, my time, my life...

To Him.
