"The Present Moment" Video



Inspiration:
I wrote this song as a reminder to myself not to worry and be fearful about the future. I have a tendency to be a planner, to have control over my environment and circumstances. The song is a reminder that my call as a follower of Christ is to surrender to His will and seek His plan for my life. Only then, in such a posture of surrender, can I be set free from fear and anxiety about the future, and trust that He has a plan for my life. He will bring to fruition His will for me, so long as I strive to discern and follow His plan for me.

Lyrics:
~verse one~
Jesus, I need You. Some days, I feel so afraid.
I can see so many obstacles ahead: do You see them, Lord?
Jesus, forgive me. Once again, I took my eyes off of You.
I get so lost in my fear of the future that I miss You right now.

~chorus~
Help me to find You in the present moment.
That’s all I know I have.
I surrender my fear and I cling to Your promise
That come what may, You’ll be with me. Come what may, You’ll be with me.
Please Lord, give me the grace to give you all my tomorrows and live in today.

~verse two~
Jesus, I need Your strength to be all that I can be right now.
I choose to leave my future in Your hands, ‘cause there’s work to be done right now.
Jesus, I trust in You. I realize each day is a gift.
I won’t take for granted that I have tomorrow.
Instead, help me to live as if today were the last day I had.

~chorus~
Help me to find You in the present moment.
That’s all I know I have.
I surrender my fear and I cling to Your promise
That come what may, You’ll be with me.

Help me to trust, to embrace every moment,
To seek Your will for me right now.
I surrender my life and I cling to Your promise
That You have a plan for me, You have a plan for me.
That You have a plan for me, that You have a plan for me.
So Lord with Your grace, I’ll give You all my tomorrows and live in today.
