Resting Place...The King is Here

I'm so unfathomably obsessed with the "resting place"...intentionally pursuing the presence of God...hosting it well...making my heart a good home. Jesus did this all the time when He walked the earth. He connected with the Father and was better able to bring the kingdom to others.

I stumbled on this song quite accidentally, but it opened my soul wide. Powerful truths to hold near...1, the King isn't far away...He's here. Eternity collides with this present, making His love more than a concept. It's a present reality. 2, "on earth as it is in heaven"...yep, the resources of the kingdom are available today. He's opened heaven's gates, so dive in. 3, I'm captured. Not in the sense of an unwilling prisoner...in the sense of knowing a love and a life that can be replaced by nothing else. Completely surrendered to and made more alive by...Him.

So...bask? Yes...enter the song and let His presence find a place to dwell within you. After doing so, you may find a greater sense of mission or purpose...and maybe even simply that you are not alone. :)

Here are a few of the lyrics.

The King is here, The King is here
He's alive inside of me
The King is here, The King is here
Love will never, ever leave

We worship and we praise
We lift Your holy name
We rejoice for our King is here
We're living to proclaim
You've opened heaven's gates
We rejoice for our King is here

You are here, You are here
You've come in power and majesty
God, You are here, You are here
Every heart has been set free

We are captured by You,
Surrendered to You
We'll never be the same
Because You are here
We're alive to praise You
Give all glory to You
We'll never be the same
Because You are here.
