I walked out of my morning meeting today, once it was clear they were covering business end of things that really no longer pertained to me, and my brain was simply elsewhere (as it has been for a good week...)
I pull out of the State parking lot, glance over at La Cl�nica and have a brief momental thought, 'huh, wouldn't it be spiffy if I saw a Vande [or two, or 3] over there...?' Stop at the stop sign, pull out onto Pacific... lo and behold, the VandeVan approacheth. Wild waves of excitement are interchanged, I make patent wild driving maneuvers to redirect my path, and pull into said parking lot for a divine appointment.
Henry [sorry kiddo, but I love it!] has a dental appointment; MamaV jumped right in to ministering to moi. She loved on me, prayed for me, encouraged me, and downright generally, was a refreshing face in the darkness. "We laughed, we cried, it moved me Bob!"
I hop back in my [still running/blaring tunes] car, and start to drive away... next thing I know, the most timely song emits from my very speakers, like God putting His Big Finger on my heart, "*poke*"
Sorrow is a lonely feeling, Unsettled is a painful place
I've lived with both for far too long now, Since we've parted ways
I've been wrestling with my conscience, And I found myself to blame
If there's to be any resolution, I've got to peel my pride away
Just between you and me, I've got something' to say
I wanna get it straight, Before the sun goes down
Just between you and me, Confession needs to be made
Recompense is my way to freedom now
Just between you and me, I've got something to say
If confession is the road to healing, Forgiveness is the promised land
I'm reaching out in my conviction, I'm longing to make amends
So, I'm sorry for the words I've spoken, For I've betrayed a friend
We've got a love that's worth preserving, And a bond I will defend
Just between you and me, I've got something' to say
I wanna get it straight, Before the sun goes down
Just between you and me, Confession needs to be made
Recompense is my way to freedom now
Just between you and me, I've got something to say
In my pursuit of God, I thirst for holiness
As I approach the Son, I must consider this
Offenses unresolved, they'll keep me from the throne
Before I go to Him my wrong must be atoned
If there's to be any resolution, I've got to peel this pride away
Just between you and me, I've got something' to say
I wanna get it straight, Before the sun goes down
Just between you and me, Confession needs to be made
Recompense is my way to freedom, It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom, It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say, so let me say it today
It's my way to freedom, It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say, confession needs to be made
It's my way to freedom, It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say, confession needs to be made
It's my way to freedom, It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say...
