I'm in Over My Head

As I was driving our daughter, Erin to school this morning I was listening to the WOW Hits 2008 CD in our car when the song, "Over My Head" by Brian Littrell played. As I listened I thought to myself those are the words to the feelings I've been wrestling with the past several days. Despite the fact I don't understand His ways that are so much higher than mine, there is one thing deep in my soul that I am sure of - Christ's love is covering me. It's been a struggle for me to surrender and just rest in my Lord and Savior's loving embrace and allow Him to carry me.


Over My Head by Brian Littrell

I tried to figure it out
Time and time again and time again
I guess there's just some things I'll never understand
'Cause Your ways aren't our ways
But deep down in my soul, down in my soul
There is one thing I know that I know

I'm in over my head
Right where I wanna be
I'm so lost within Your love
The love that always covers me
So high, so deep, so wide
A strong and cleansing tide
My soul has found a place to rest
I'm in over my head

I've been holding on
Now I'm letting go, just letting go
Gonna let Your love carry me away
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm surrounded by the truth
And I can feel the current pulling me
Deeper and deeper into You

You see me for who I am
You did reach out Your hand
You made me understand
That Your love has always covered me



Isaiah 55:8-9 - "For my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Ephesians 3:17-19 - so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
