That moment when the party is over, the world is quiet,
and your thoughts finally speak.
Restless in This Midnight Hour
is now out.
For the overthinkers.
For the wide-awake hearts.
For anyone who has ever searched for God when sleep wouldn’t come.
Restless in This Midnight Hour
Lyrics
Verse 1
Restless in this midnight hour. Here I sit alone in this darkened room. What is this ache I feel, resting deep within my bones? Where are You, my Beloved? I just want to hear Your voice. You touched my soul, You claimed my heart so long ago. I am restless in this midnight hour.
Verse 2 I close my eyes just to feel You near. Your presence captivates me — my soul keeps running to You. Oh, let my name be the one You whisper when all else fades away. I am restless in this midnight hour.
Bridge I feel the soft flutter of love entering my room — is that You? My Lord, my grace. Oh, just let me see Your face.
Verse 3 Who made these man-made rulesf how to love You? Man placed You in a box — why can’t we let it show?
What is this fear of letting others know? The human mind holds the key, but the spirit begs to be free. I am restless in this midnight hour. My spirit can’t abide in these chains. You freed my soul, and my love does show. I am restless in this midnight hour.
Final Verse / Outro Your love gives a freedom that cannot be explained. It has no words — it’s so hard to contain. You take my heart to places of no return, You set a fire and let it burn. It’s a spiritual escape, cloaked in the Divine. I am restless in this midnight hour. This binding gift of love — I must return it. I love You, my Lord. My restlessness brings me to You. It’s You… It will always be You. It will always be You.
Outro Stay with me until the break of day. Your love is something I cannot contain. Stay with me until the break of day. Your love is something I cannot contain.
26 degrees… frost on the ground… feeling blessed to be alive... Where Black Friday turns into white CHRISTmas... “My Gift of You” is now live on all platforms — a gentle reminder that no matter how different we are, we are beautiful in His eyes. He is our greatest gift — born from our Father’s love.
Lyrics
The Gift of you
Little did we know what God had planned, When He formed You in Your mother’s womb. The world beheld the miracle fortold— The gift of You, my sweet Jesus.
The gift of You Takes my breath away. The gift of You, my precious Savior, Forever You will stay.
As You grew, did You hear Your Father whispering Your name? Did He sing You a heavenly lullaby? Oh, my beautiful baby boy, my Jesus.
The gift of You, my beautiful boy, You take my breath away. The gift of You, my precious One, Forever You will reign…
The world turned away, when the boy became a man; They hung Him on a tree, made Him bleed….. Yet love overcame, and death lost its claim! My Jesus, my love, my King, my everything-
The gift of You Takes my breath away. The gift of You, my precious Savior, Forever You will reign…. The gift of You, so precious, so rare— Jesus, our majestic king, created from our Father’s love.
"And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye." ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Meaning of blind: unable to see because of injury, disease, or a congenital condition.
There are approximately 74 verses about the word blind.
Our eyes are such an amazing gift… To not be blessed with sight must be such a true challenge. I can not even begin to imagine. I do believe most of us do not give it much thought unless we are faced with a problem with our eyes. The smallest grain of dust can cause such a major discomfort.
Some say the eyes are the window to our soul… So, how does someone that has been blind from birth see? How do they see the beauty that surrounds them daily? I do believe they build extrasensory abilities. Many of these abilities we find difficult to understand. Just how do they do it?
I don’t know exactly how they manage. So before I continue to write about the word blind. I will close my eyes and try an experiment. I will use my ears to hear the music, I will use my sense of touch and my sense of smell and I will see what if anything I can see…Can our spiritual eyes see what our human eyes can not? I say yes, without a doubt I know you can.
My soul felt the beautiful music, as it opened my heart. I could feel the vibrations of the sounds being made. There was a sweet smell of home in the air. And in my mind's eye, I began to see many details of our Savior's face.
I will describe what I saw with my spiritual eyes. He appeared to be approximately 30 years of age. His hair was brown shoulder length. As I approached Him I could look into His eyes they were a deep shade of blue. There I could see His kindness. His beard and mustache were neatly trimmed. And he had the most amazing smile. A smile that can speak volumes to my soul.
So how does this happen? How do we see with our spirit? I believe it is His voice… It calls to our soul. Our soul hears His song of love.. and our heart vibrates to the sound being made while we feel His presence. There is a sense of home felt when He fills your heart with an explainable love. And then the mind paints a picture..with all the detail our sense have gathered. And we can see a vision of Him that speaks to our mind, and then we began to feel Him in our heart and soul.
How sharp are your senses? Do you see our Heavenly Father in your mind's eye? Do you hear His voice? Do feel that sense of home?
If not I urge you to close your eyes. I urge you to invite Him into your heart. Listen for His voice because I know He is calling your name. And if you diligently seek Him you will find Him. And for those who do not believe or that have no desire to find Him. Here is a quote from a remarkable blind soul.
“Better to be blind and see with your heart, than to have two good eyes and see nothing.” (Helen Keller)
With her extrasensory abilities... She found the beauty in Her soul and shared it with the world. It's not a secret...
It's Him, It's Always Him!
He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn—and I would heal them.” John 12:40
“In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God Second Corinthians 4:4
“Love is the beauty of the soul.” – Saint Augustine...
In Scripture, the word soul appears 754 times in the Old Testament and 102 times in the New Testament—856 times in all. Clearly, God wants us to notice the soul.
The soul is the essence of who we truly are. It is our life-source—the God-given flame that burns through eternity. While our body and mind serve as vessels for this earthly journey, it is our soul that carries the magnetic pull to commune with our Creator.
We all travel at different speeds along life’s road. None of us are perfect. We stumble, we falter, we fall short. But each day we are given a choice: to nurture and define who we are in our souls. Our life, our legacy, and our eternity depend on it.
Did you know that Scripture even speaks of God’s own soul (1 Thessalonians 5:23)
Just imagine—a God who not only gave us a soul but shares His own heart and essence with us.
The best relationship we could ever know is soul to soul with God. Search your heart. Free your soul. Let Him guide you into the fullness of life everlasting. A happy soul cannot be contained, because it rests secure in what the future holds.
“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.” – Genesis 2:7 (KJV)
“And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” – John 10:28 (KJV)
“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:23–24 (KJV)
