I Have to Confess...

Recently my daughter asked me if I had heard the song, Dependence, by Jamie Slocum. I hadn't but have now and I wanted to share it with you. It has really been ministering to me the last couple of days.

Sometimes I depend on others more than I should and then when something happens - like the person might not have time or in more cases than anything - not a thing they can do to help - then I feel let down.

But you know? God is the One we should totally be dependent on. He is the ONLY ONE who never lets us down. He never puts us at the bottom of His to-do list. He does have answers. He's always ready to listen. He always understands. He catches us when we fall. He knows everything about us and still loves us.

I just wanted to confess - my total dependence on God - now and always because He is Dependable. I hope you enjoy the video and the words.

Dependence
written and sung by Jamie Slocum

This is the life I’ve always wanted
To know the prince of peace
To feel my faith restored
As your grace surrounds me

This is the day of new beginnings
This is where my freedom starts
And now death has lost its sting
And Jesus how can I thank you?

Just to know, just to know that you love me
Gives me hope to carry on
What can this world do to me? No, no
Just to know, just to know that you’re with me
On all these roads I traveled on
When all I have is gone
I confess my dependence on you

There is a lightness in my laughter
There is a joy inside my soul
My heart is overwhelmed
And Jesus how can I thank you?

Just to know, just to know that you love me
Gives me hope to carry on
What can this world do to me? No, no
Just to know, just to know that you’re with me
On all these roads I traveled on
When all I have is gone
I confess my dependence on you
Dependence on you

Just to know, just to know that you love me
It gives me hope to carry on
You’re the one thing that I can turn to
Just to know, just to know that you’re with me
On all these roads I traveled on
You’re the one thing that I can turn to
Just to know, just to know that you love me
It gives me hope to carry on
There’s nothing this world can do
I confess my dependence on you
Lord, I confess my dependence on you
Dependence on you
