"Open up the doors
turn the lights on
hear the love song
pick it up again
I'm an outlaw
running from you
come arrest me
I surrender to you
though you slay me
I will trust you
though offended
I will cling to you
'cause I want to
be a witness
of your power
and your goodness"
OUTLAW by Mark Mathis
Whenever I hear this song it quickens my spirit. Especially the verse "though you slay me I will trust you, though offended I will cling to you". These are the words I want to be able to speak every time something maddening or confusing happens. I want that to be my anthem. Because no matter the circumstance I am in it won't change the fact that God is still good. And how I want to be a witness to that power and goodness. God is so faithful to our hearts; we are all outlaws running from Him and yet I do want Him to find me and arrest me. I need answers so often and I think God just wants to give me Himself instead. The answers usually come later when I am not even looking for them. I fear there will be many more times I am offended by something God did or didn't do but I will hopefully choose to cling to Him because He is the answer.
