Who You Are To Me

You don’t have to go far before you’ll hear someone say something negative to you. People have no problem pointing out your flaws and faults. The world is a messed up place to be sure. Friends are turning on one another. Family members are dividing over some pretty crazy things. It’s just not the world many of us thought we’d raise our children in or grow up in ourselves.

Some people call themselves Christians or church-goers but really aren’t interested in following Jesus. It’s more a slide of hand kind of game. For these truths to really speak to us we need to do more than put on a smiling face and say we attend church.

Our song is titled who you are to me. This song is a worship song that brings us to a place and time when we can see the power and majesty of who God is when life is all messed up.

Who is he to me? As a Jesus follower, he should be your everything.

But in the moments when the bottom drops out and life is just falling apart all around us, it’s easy to just throw in the towel and think that things will never get better. But how do you manage the ups and the downs in life? How do you handle the peaks and the valleys of life? Where do you go to just find a little peace and quiet? Where is your shelter when the storms of life come crashing down?  Continue reading
