Whatever You're Doing

Back in the spring, a friend shared with me a music video by Sanctus Real that described how she was feeling. The video and the note from her sparked my curiosity...so I did a little research on the songs that this particular band had recorded. I found that I liked the band, so I started listening to them here and there.

The week that I returned from my trip to Virginia, a couple of days after the phone call from her to end that long time friendship, I heard this particular song on the radio, a different song but by the same band. I had not heard it before, but I will never forget the moment that I heard it for the first time. It was about 7:15 a.m. on June 28th...two days after I received that phone call that changed my life and attitude about friendship and what God is doing in this particular situation. I felt like the song had been written for me before I was born, before I knew Christ, back when He was the only one who knew what would happen between myself and the woman who I would call my soul mate - friend.

This song stops me in my tracks and reminds me that God is totally in control of everything. I am so grateful for the beautiful and mysterious ways that He works. The surprising ways that He brings His word into my life, like with this song. This is the one thing that I feared for many years; knowing that God could give this beautiful friendship and somehow always knowing that He would take it away. It might be for a season, or it might be for the rest of my life, but when I hear this song, I remember who is God,

I know that whatever He's doing...it's something heavenly!

It's time for healing time to move on
It's time to fix what's been broken too long
Time make right what has been wrong
It's time to find my way to where I belong
There's a wave that's crashing over me
All I can do is surrender

Whatever you're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos somehow there's peace
It's hard to surrender to what I can't see
but I'm giving in to something heavenly

Time for a milestone
Time to begin again
Reevaluate who I really am
Am I doing everything to follow your will
or just climbing aimlessly over these hills
So show me what it is you want from me
I give everything I surrender...
To...

Whatever you're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos somehow there's peace
It's hard to surrender to what I can't see
Larger than life something heavenly

Time to face up
Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out
That I've wanted to say for so many years
Time to to release all my held back tears

Whatever you're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but I believe
You're up to something bigger than me
Larger than life something heavenly

Whatever you're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but now I can see
This something bigger than me
Larger than life something heavenly
Something heavenly

It's time to face up
Clean this old house
Time breathe in and let everything out
