Get rid of the box.....

You turned water into wine

how extraordinary-Gave sight to the blind

and still I carry My own load when you told me

To take your yoke ‘cause yours is easy

And I don't wanna box you in

You've been doing big things since the world began

Sometimes I just don't wanna believeThat you're big enough

but you're big enough yeah!

I don't wanna box you in

You've been doing big things since the world began

Sometimes I just don't understand that you're big enough

But you're big enough Jesus

You turned darkness into light

keep my lamp burning

And you are my everything

There's no denying, your love is so amazing

And even though my problems seem typical

Nothing for you is ever too difficult

You never have reservations - love without limitations

And I don't wanna box you in

You've been doing big things since the world began

Sometimes I just don't wanna believe That you're big enough

but you're big enough yeah!

Oh, no matter how I try to get around it

I'm reminded Wherever I go

I'm totally surrounded - It's all about you

I can never doubt you Even if I wanted to…

And I don't wanna box you in

You've been doing big things since the world began

Sometimes I just don't wanna believe That you're big enough

but you're big enough yeah!!!

I love this song because it helps me remember how awesome my God is!! It's so easy for me to box him in by trying to deal with situations in my life in my own strength. And being the loving gentleman he is he doesn't argue with me and he lets me do what I "think" I need to do and when out of my stubborness I stumble He is ALWAYS there to catch me. It's like when I was teaching my girls to walk......the mommy in me wanted to hold them and not let them fall, but the independance in them led them to let go of my hand to do it on their own. And really that's how they learn......if I always carried them then they would have never learned to balance or do things on their own. And even though I had to let go of their hand to allow them the room to learn I NEVER left their side and the second they reached up for my hand I was right there to take it! That's exactly how God is with us, he is always right there by our side just waiting for us to take his hand. But when we decide to deal with things on our own it's like we are putting him in a box. And when we don't believe that he can change a situation or that we've gotten ourselves in too deep for God to help then we box him in. He is BIGGER than anything we can ever be faced with! So lets not box in His power........lets get rid of those boxes and release the power of God in our lives!
