2 Samuel 22-24

2 Samuel 22-24 YouVersion(NIV)

As I was reading David's song in chapter 22 today a picture came to my mind like a scene in a movie.  I’m sure you know the scene…the part where the main character or characters end up falling into some quicksand.  Or instead of quicksand, a living vine starts to wrap around their feet, legs, and arms, and suddenly they can’t move.  They are completely stuck; trapped without hope. 

This is what I imagined when I read David’s words: “The waves of death swirled about me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.  The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.”

But then my favorite verse: “He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.”

A good friend of mine who is also one of the worship leaders at my church wrote a song based on this scripture.  Taking time today to remember how he drew me out of the deep and made a way…

Made a Way – Lindy Weatherly  

Listen here: "Made a Way" on Soundcloud

You drew me out of the deep,

Reached down from on high, took hold of me.

You rescued me from my past,

Turned darkness to light, and made a way.

You gave me a new name,

Cleansed me within, marked me with grace

I have a hope that is true;

My heart is renewed.  You made a way.

You are the way, the truth, the life

You are my shield, my shelter, Savior Lord

You are the truth, the light, the path

You are my strength, my rock, my fortress

You are holy, holy

Who was and is to come

You are worthy, worthy

My Lord and My God, you are good.
