Solo Cristo

One of my all-time favorite praise songs is "None but Jesus". I fell even more in love with it when I heard it in Spanish.

In the quiet, in the stillness 
I know that You are God
In the secret of Your presence 
I know there I am restored
When you call I won't refuse
Each new day, again I'll choose

In the chaos, in confusion 
I know You're sovereign still
In the moment of my weakness 
You give me grace to do Your will
When You call I won't delay
This my song through all my days

There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise

All my delight is in You Lord
All of my hope
All of my strength
All my delight is in You Lord
Forevermore

I was very blessed to sing this song during today's worship at CCSC (thanks Dinko!). I realized that I feel like my life is in chaos and confusion. As I'm preparing to depart to Paraguay for 4 months...there are some moments when I feel so unsure of what I'm doing. Am I supposed to go to Paraguay? Am I making a huge mistake? What am I going to do there? How will God use someone as weak and foolish as me? All these thoughts cloud my mind and can potentially stray me from my mission. Reflecting upon this song served as a very timely reminder that God is truly sovereign and provides me with grace to do His will. This mission trip is definitely not something I can do by my own power, gifts, or abilities. It's not about what I can do, but what He has already done. I'm still learning that I need to rely on Him completely to be my source of strength and deepest joy. There are moments when my weaknesses bring about confusion and chaos, but He reminds me that He is my delight, hope, and strength. I'm praying that I will be able to hold onto this truth and simply be obedient and submissive to His call.
