Recently on the radio I heard a re-make of one of my favorite Rich Mullins songs by Big Daddy Weave. Though I prefer the original, it's good to hear an oldie-but-goodie being played. If you haven't heard it before, I put out the lyrics. It gives a great image of our smallness and insufficiency before God's majesty and power, like a child calling out for comfort to an all-sufficient Father.

~~~~~~~~~~Hold Me Jesus

Well, sometimes my life Just don't make sense at all
When the mountains look so big
And my faith just seems so small

So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

And I wake up in the night and feel the dark
It's so hot inside my soul I swear there must be blisters on my heart

So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

Surrender don't come natural to me
I'd rather fight You for something I don't really want
Than to take what You give that I need
And I've beat my head against so many walls
Now I'm falling down, I'm falling on my knees
And this Salvation Army band Is playing this hymn
And Your grace rings out so deep
It makes my resistance seem so thin

So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace
