Bebo Norman: Disappear

On a day like this I want to crawl beneath a rock
A million miles from the world, the noise, the commotion
That never seems to stop

And on a day like this I want to run away from the routine
Run away from the daily grind that can suck the life
Right out of me
I know of only one place I can run to…

Chorus:
I want to hide in You
The Way, the Life, the Truth
So I can disappear
And love is all there is to see
Coming out of me
And You become clear
As I disappear

I don’t want to care about earthly things
Be caught up in all the lies that trick my eyes
They say it’s all about me
I’m so tired of it being about me…

I would rather be cast away
Separated from the human race
If I don’t bring You glory
If I don’t bring You glory
If I don’t bring You glory

I've heard this song so many times but today....it suddenly struck me what this song meant....Has that ever happened to any of you? You hear a song for so long...and then one day...the lyrics just hit you hard....

I listened to this after reading the book "Running on Empty" by Fil Anderson. It was a book about Spirituality for Overachievers...and this chapter just made me realize how much and how fast paced we tend to be....or how I tend to be...from the book...I caught some interesting quotes

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life;
We've added years to life, not life to years.
We plan more, but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait.

And as I read on...Fil Anderson thought of a time of rest he had...but he realized he wasn't rested at all...I guess this can be similar to my reading week...even though I had more free time....He realized that the problem wasn't his lack of time but it was his lack of joyful delight in God....and his deep affection directed toward God every hour of the day....I thought about this... I really haven't made the time either....and stilll need to work on this...

Also...think about this...why are we busy? Saw some points such as....you're busy to get your mind of the more complicated things in life....you're busy because you feel that if you're busy you feel more wanted....

Reading that book..makes me long for a time to just sit at the top of a hill on a cool spring/summer day...and just chill....watch the sunset....sunrise....well for now...school...I gotta get through that first...but maybe I can start thinking about this...to have that delight in God... to once again WALK with HIM each day..
