Caught up in your presence

Cody Carnes just released a new song called nothing else. It wrecked me. Completely and utterly wrecked me. The first verse consists of these lyrics:

Im caught up in your presence

I just want to sit here at your feet

Im caught up in this holy moment

I never wanna leave

I love being caught up in a holy moment. Whether it be a retreat where all i am doing is focusing on God, or a mission trip where all i am focused on is spreading HIS word and HIS love... it's a complete holy moment. But i wasn't wrecked by my emotions during my experiences of holy moments when i heard those lyrics for the first time, I was wrecked by the fact that i don't keep my holy moments alive. Why can't i keep my holy moments alive? Is it because as soon as I go back to my life and reality that i get distracted? I really don't know. All i know is that i wanna feel the way i feel during holy moments all the time. A holy moment for me is feeling the holy spirits presence, feeling so close to God and so worthy. It's truly an indescribable, amazing feeling. I never wanna leave holy moments so what is it going to take for me to have holy moments in the most broken places of my life? When i am riddled with anxiety how will i turn it to a holy moment? It's possible, because with God, anything is. I want to be so sure of my faith and so determined to live holy moments everyday that I don't even think about anxiety or depression. God has the power to change dark to light. The dark is my anxiety, holy moments are the light. How can you keep your holy moments alive and stay in them forever?


I'm caught up in Your presence I just want to sit here at Your feet

I'm caught up in this holy moment I never want to leave Oh, I'm not here for blessings Jesus, You don't owe me anything More than anything that You can do I just want You I'm sorry when I've just gone through the motions I'm sorry when I just sang another song Take me back to where we started I open up my heart to You I'm sorry when I've come with my agenda I'm sorry when I forgot that You're enough Take me back to where we started I open up my heart to You I'm caught up in Your presence I just want to sit here at Your feet I'm caught up in this holy moment I never want to leave Oh, I'm not here for blessings Jesus, You don't owe me anything And more than anything that You can do I just want You I just want You Nothing else, nothing else Nothing else will do I just want You Nothing else, nothing else Nothing else will do I just want You Nothing else, nothing else Nothing else will do I just want You Nothing else, nothing else, Jesus Nothing else will do I just want You Nothing else, nothing else Nothing else will do I just want You Nothing else, nothing else, Jesus Nothing else will do

And oh, I'm not here for blessings Jesus, You don't owe me anything More than anything that You can do Oh, I just want You

The mountain top is all the more lovely when you’ve walked through the valley.
