New Song, “Yahweh”

Thanks so much for all of you who continue to pray for me and encourage me in my health journey. I am coming up on one year since life changed dramatically for me, and I’m still processing and learning, living each day grateful for every moment. I wanted to share a new song today that was inspired a year or two ago by spending a lot of time in the Torah, specifically via the Bible Project podcast (which I referenced in my post last week as well). I feel like God was preparing me for my present struggle with a lot of foundational study about the ancient faith and cosmic story I get to be a part of. I know whatever happens with my cancer, Life carries on and I am grateful for whatever part I get to play in all the heavens and earth declaring the praise of my God and creator, YHWH. I love that a couple little birds couldn’t help but join in as I was singing this song of praise (listen and you’ll hear their beautiful voices).

Yahweh

Israel
Chosen servant
Holy nation saved
Promised land
Law observant
Fractured and afraid

So he came
Humble manger
Our Creator near
Here he dwells
Word now living
God of Torah here

All the heavens declaring your praise
All the nations bow down and afraid
Here we call on your Almighty Name Yahweh
As the perfect reflection He came
And by no other Way are we saved
We’re baptized and reborn in His Name
Yahweh

With one voice
Sing with joy we
Gather in your name
Jesus saves
Jesus makes us
Whole again, remade

What a fellowship
What a joy divine
Leaning on the everlasting arms
What a blessedness
What a peace is mine
Leaning on the everlasting arms

Leaning, leaning
Leaning on the everlasting arms
