Simple Devotion

Purim in Israel, Friends of Zion museum. One of the workers dressed as a British soldier in honor of Orde Wingate, a Zionist captain in the British Mandate Army. This worker said he thought a ukulele was more appropriate for the day than a gun.

When this song gets to “O Angels! O Angels! Look and see!” it makes me cry.  Every time.  Beautiful!

Simple Devotion – Misty Edwards

Over and over and over and over again
I will stir up my soul to lay hold of You
Over and over and over and over again
I will stir up my soul to lay hold of
That which I cannot comprehend
Over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over again

And then I’ll just lean into sovereignty
I’ll embrace a mystery
And I’ll just rest in You
As I bathe in truth

Over and over and over and over again
This is my simple devotion
My walk of faith, day by day
Over and over and over and over again

And then I hear You say
As You gaze over the balcony of heaven
I hear You say as You peer through the lattice of time
I hear You say as You stand in heaven
I hear You say as You rejoice over me
“O Angels! O Angels! Look and see!
Through that dark night of faith
She is gazing at Me!
O Angels! O Angels! Look and see!
Through that cloud of unknowing
She’s gazing at Me!
And You have ravished My heart
My sister, My bride
With one glance of your eye! “

Over and over and over and over again …
