to quiet down my busy mind and find a hiding place

once upon a time there was a worship band called Ten Shekel Shirt. i've heard they are not together anymore.
the title of this blog is a favorite phrase from one of my most treasured songs. i'm not sure i can adequately express the euphoric spiritual places these heaven-breathed songs spring from...
maybe you'll google them or myspace them and these songs will do nothing for you. that's okay. you may have found your own.
if not, please do find something that brings you near Him. there's nothing like feeling His closeness. like the very beat of his heart rumbling through your form.

more lyrics that bring me to Him:

i'm here to meet with you
come and meet with me
i'm here to find you
reveal yourself to me
as i wait, you make me strong
as i long, you draw me to your arms
as i stand, it's in your grace
you come, you come and fill this place
lord come, lord come and fill this place

a prayer of mine this morning:

you comfort me and soothe
my restless spirit.
needing your hand upon my head,
turn my face toward your approving gaze.
i lock arms with you jesus.
i am yours.
