Letting Loose, Letting Go

A Paraphrased version of Isaiah 42:10 (The Message)

" Sing to God a brand-new song,
    sing his praises all over the world!...

Make God’s glory resound;
    echo his praises from coast to coast.
God steps out like he means business.
    You can see he’s primed for action.
He shouts, announcing his arrival;
    he takes charge and his enemies fall into line...

“ I've been quiet long enough.

   I've held back, biting my tongue. 

But now I’m letting loose, letting go,

  like a woman who’s having a baby—" 

 I don't usually use The Message translation but this just captured how my heart feels so well. Its a normal-ish Tuesday around here. Kids are playing, the house is clean, dishes done, laundry done. Just looking forward to a quiet uneventful after noon. 

 But there is 1 thing that God is stirring in me today. The lyrics to a possible song I wrote about a month ago. I have only shared them with 3 people so its a little nerve wracking to put something raw on here, but for some reason my insides are telling me to share them. I hope someone today can relate to the plea these lyrics seem to be. 

Here goes nothing...

Oh God do not remain quiet

Do not be silent or still 

For behold your enemies make an uproar

and those who hate you exalt themselves 

Answer me when I call 

Oh God of my righteousness

Give ear to my words 

Head the sound of my plea 

Arise o'Lord in your anger

Lift up yourself against the rage 

Wondrously show Your loving kindness 

Hide me in the shadow of your wings  

Answer me when I call 

Oh God of my righteousness

Give ear to my words

Hear my groaning and  

Head the sound of my plea
