Me and Jesus

If you take a few steps back, and look at the Bible from a novel form of view - who's the hero? Is it man; who's suffered this great fall but through time, determination and help can overcome sin?
Or is it this Holy figure, always behind everything, organising, developing, improving constantly on his broken creator?

Is the beauty found in the pocket watch, or it's maker designing it down to the last screw.

Is the beauty of the artwork found in it's light and shadow, or in the long, unlit corridors that the artist wandered one cloudless night.

If it isn't for shadow, light would lack shape and depth.

If it isn't for the fixing of the clock, time for it would cease to exist.

And if it weren't for this figure, just under the surface of the ocean - the Bible is no more then ancient history.

You see, if the Bible were just a book, parts like Psalm 125 would be history, a reminder of what God has done for us in the past. But with the Holy Spirit running through the pages like a lifeline, it is more then a history, a record of someone's thoughts, but this four dimensional image of what God is, what He was for them, what He is for others, and what He can be for you today.

The Bible is a promise ... the promise of a better world, a world as long as deep as high as a few thousand k's. A world where the gates aren't 'pearly', but a whole pearl.
A world where we are surrounded by people, but not alone, rather surrounded by individuals each with a story that no one can tell better then them, as they lived it.

It is a promise that whether we want his help or not, God is just on the edge of our consciousness, giving us opportunity after opportunity to live for him; just waiting for us to listen.

And it is a promise that when our world comes crashing down, we just need to listen to that small voice and remember that we only have, like, a hundred years to go ... before we can just live in a beautiful world, with a beautiful king.

There's just so much open to us, and what's standing in the way? Ourselves ...

When there's no where else to turn
All your bridges have been burned
Feels like you've hit rock bottom..
Don't give up it's not the end
Open up your heart again
When you feel like no one understands
Where you are...

Someone loves you
Even when you don't think so
Don't you know
You got me and Jesus
By your side
Through the fight
You will never be alone
On your own
You got me and Jesus

After all that we've been through
By now you know I've doubted to
But every time my head was in my hands
You said to me...

Someone loves you
Even when you don't think so
Don't you know
You got me and Jesus
By your side
Through the fight
You will never be alone
On your own
You got me and Jesus

Hold on to what we got
This is worth any cost
So make the most of life that's borrowed
Love like there's no tomorrow

Someone loves you
Even when you don't think so
Don't you know
You got me and Jesus
By your side
Through the fight
You will never be alone
On your own
You got me and Jesus

Even when you don't think so
Don't know you
You got me and Jesus
By your side
Through the fight
You will never be alone
On your own
You got me and Jesus

You will never be alone...
You got me and Jesus
