God Is Singing Over You

 God sings over us? Have you ever thought about that possibility? Even the robotic and socially awkward Sheldon Cooper on “The Big Bang Theory” admits to needing the comfort of a song in times of stress or illness. He often asks his friends to sing the song from his childhood…

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur.

Happy kitty, sleepy kitty,

purr purr purr.

As silly as that little song is, it was easier to believe than the whispered song that I heard during a desperate time of struggle in my life. I am not musical, so I cannot translate the tune that accompanied this song, but it is in my head and heart forever. I sometimes find myself humming it and I know that God is singing over me.

“You are loved, you are loved,

I am loving you.

You are loved, you are loved,

I am loving you.

I am loved, I am loved,

He is loving me.”

This little God-song takes me away….want to come with me?

I am swimming in His love.

First just my toes, gently dipping them in, testing.

Feels warm and inviting, I swirl them a bit.

Can I step in and trust that the bottom will be solid?

Is it sandy, muddy, rocky?

What will I find if I put all my weight on my feet?

How do I move from toe dipping to swimming?

They can splash a bit, but it is not enough.

The gentle sound of the waves is calling to me.

I slip a little more of me into them.

Waves that whisper musically, surround and envelope me.

So sweet, so warm, so pure; the song of my Jesus is just for me!

“You are loved, you are loved,

I am loving you.

I am loved, I am loved,

He is loving me.”

He loves me! ME…in all my me-ness!

He….my Jesus loves the total me.

My Jesus is holding nothing back of Himself.

His warmth is gentle but relentless, taking over, all in its path.

How can I resist full immersion?

I give myself to Him completely, holding back nothing.

All that I am is His.

All my Susie-ness is given to the lovely current that simply cannot be resisted.

My toes are no longer touching bottom.

I am sweetly swept off my feet, into the flow!

My Lovers’ adoration has surrounded and overwhelmed me.

I am floating and swimming in Jesus delight of me.

Can’t explain it, can’t even describe it.

But I can hear it in the song He sings over me

In the waves that come and come and come…

You are loved, you are loved, I am loving you….
