Cross Point Worship Night

and i'll stand,
with arms high and heart abandoned,
in awe of the one who gave it all

i'll stand, my soul Lord to you surrendered -
all i am is yours....

this was the anthem of worship night at Cross Point. i truly was blessed tonight by the talent of these incredible vocalists and musicians! as i looked around the room, the people were in utter abandon to the Lord. you could watch it in their countenances, and hear it in their voices. it was evident in the way they raised their arms or bowed their heads, or clasped their hands. God was so incredibly present in that room tonight. from 12 year olds to senior citizens this group of believers were completely unhindered in the worship of our God.

Cross Point is teaching on a series called "THIS IS OUR GOD," and tonight was an incredible culmination of all things God. sovereignty. justice. faithfulness. goodness. the realization that OUR GOD is all of these things and so, so, so much more hit me like a 2x4 tonight. of course i've always known these things. everyone "knows" these are qualities we use to describe God…don't they? but it's been a long time since i really was conscious of them. in the first couple song of tonight's worship night i was moved nearly to tears by the words that came flooding back. sovereign. good. faithful. just. i'm fairly certain, i wasn't the only one!

the worship team is made up of incredible performers. (the longer i live in nashville, the more i realize that EVERYONE is musical!) however, tonight they were not performing. tonight they were not on stage for their own glory. no, tonight these amazingly talented men and women were on stage to be a gateway for the rest of us to worship our Savior. and lead they did. on the way home with a friend, we chatted about how well the evening turned out, and how much work it took, and what a fabulous job the team did of not performing, but simply leading. (Kate Carlson, Miranda Telford, Jarrod Morris, Matt Warren, and the rest whose names i don't know!)

i am so thankful for the amazing experience this evening. and even moreso, i'm thankful that God led us to this incredible place. a place that desires to grow closer in relationship with Him through everything that's done. a place where people have welcomed us with arms wide open, and been encouraging, and understanding. this place that is beginning to feel a little bit like home. so thank you Cross Point! we are blessed to be a part of this incredible movement!
