In a visit to Cross Point Church several weeks ago I heard the song “Whatever You’re Doing (Something Heavenly)” for the first time. Pete Wilson and his team used this at the end of their service and something about the lyrics catalyzed this idea of living unresolved. So, today, I offer this as a bridge to the next couple of posts that will focus on the “so what” part of this idea.
The song is by Sanctus Real. Give it a watch and listen. I do not know what inspired this song, it may have nothing to do with what I’ve been writing about, but it certainly tracks in my mind. I’ve posted the lyrics under the video.
It’s time for healing time to move on
It’s time to fix what’s been broken too long
Time make right what has been wrong
It’s time to find my way to where I belong
There’s a wave that’s crashing over me
All I can do is surrender
[Chorus]
Whatever you’re doing inside of me
It feels like chaos somehow there’s peace
It’s hard to surrender to what I can’t see
but I’m giving in to something heavenly
Time for a milestone
Time to begin again
Revaluate who I really am
Am I doing everything to follow your will
or just climbing aimlessly over these hills
So show me what it is you want from me
I give everything I surrender…
To…
[Chorus]
Time to face up
Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out
That I’ve wanted to say for so many years
Time to to release all my held back tears
Whatever you’re doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but I believe
You’re up to something bigger than me
Larger than life something heavenly
Whatever you’re doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but now I can see
This something bigger than me
Larger than life something heavenly
Something heavenly
It’s time to face up
Clean this old house
Time breathe in and let everything out
Great song. The lyric that hit me was “You’re up to something bigger than me.” I want it to be about me, but I can’t. Need to just get out of the way and let God do His thing. Thanks for sharing it.
I have never had a song describe my state of being so well…very inspiring, good commentary as well. There is a stirring in this new age of christianity.
shane, if i could only begin to describe how much this song plays to my current transition phase of life! thank you so much for posting! i will be back this sunday! and of course, i can’t wait…
What a day, a week, a month, a year, it all has started and ended and begins again. Time to clean house,confess, time to breath, in the spirit and let it release us into the world. MY life, my world this day.
I fully understand the song. It has great meaning to me as well. I may not understand what God is doing in me but He is always opening doors and filling me full of HIS Grace. Jesus you are forever loved in the Kramer family!
