The dance of intimacy

 

The dance of intimacy

    When the pastures of the wilderness overflow and the hills rejoice on every side. When the sea resounds and all that fills it; the world and who dwell in it. When the rivers clap their hands, and the mountains sing together for joy before the Lord.

When before His eyes like blazing fire, the mountains are scattered and the hills bowed.

When in His presence the mountains quake before him and the hills melt away. The earth trembles, the world and all who live in it.

When in His presence, everyone shouts G L O R Y. When everything responds to His presence… Every part in me will shout glory to Him.

In the midst of the congregation, I will praise you YHWH.

I will sing for you and my worship will be expressive. I will dance and every move will declare your heart to your people.

In your presence, I rejoice in your freedom. I dance victoriously before you on the beat of chains falling off and the kingdom of darkness trembling at the sound of the opening doors of the prisons.

You turned my mourning into dancing. Oh the freedom I feel in your presence my King. 

I throw off my beggars’ cloak, I jump and make my way to You. I am back again to the way you formed me inside my mother’s womb. 

I get alone with the lover of my soul. I feel his arms around me, and his majestic robe flap around me.

Just you and me. Us alone on this dance floor. Oh YHWH of my heart I am overwhelmed by the lavishness of the glory covering me. You continue to dance then grab my hand again and we run, we straight-run, we go up… You take me higher and higher. You dance around me. You spin around with great emotions that I can’t contain.

Oh Jesus you are the perfect dancer. You lead and I am after you.

Oh this sweet intimacy with you my King, you break every intimidation, every struggle, every offensive spirit that is trying to silence the freedom you want me to experience while worshiping you and offering you a sacrifice of praise.

May my dance be a pleasing aroma to you. I will dance with all my might and celebrate loudly the salvation I have received, the forgiveness that removed every guilt, the freedom that took away all heaviness. I will dance as if I have wings and by faith I will even fly like eagles. Your powerful love will lift me higher than where my feet can reach and I will raise my arms up high and find that secret place where I find rest in your embrace.

I will keep on dancing before you YHWH of my heart. I will keep worshiping you in spirit and in truth.
