It Melts Away

It Melts Away

Fear and doubt attack us and there’s seemingly nowhere to turn
We seek the help of others… sometimes they care but don’t know how
Everyone ‘round us is whirring and whining as we scurry
And “what if”… attacks, as if we could somehow, by ourselves, discern

But… As we enter into His presence once again
As we begin to pour out our pain
As we stay and worship and linger…
It melts away.

It melts away… All the cares of this life… All the fears for fate…
It melts away, The past is dust before Him…
and the future and fear of what will come.
Right now, right here,
in my heart,
I know what is real…
I melt away.

There’s a place where we live way deep down inside
With cluttered rooms, cluttered halls and cluttered mind
We stumble on through the maze ‘cause we must we suppose
And we miss the peace, miss the calm, miss the mark

But when we steal away into the inner chamber
And when we are still before our Lord
As we humble ourselves before our Maker
And allow Him to tend to our wounds…

It melts away… All the cares of this life… All the fears for fate…
It melts away, The past is dust before Him…
and the future and fear of what will come.
Right now, right here,
in my heart,
I know what is real…
I melt away.




Fears of what we have done and what we haven’t
Fears of what we have and what we don’t
Crowd into our hearts like a bull into china
And destroy and kill and mangle and burn

So, once again we hear His voice and once again we draw near
Once again our hearts crumble and once again a fresh wind sweeps
O’r the dry, parched soil of who we are and who we aren’t
And almost subliminally…
Rain gently falls…
Rain sweetly calls…
Rain moistens our desire once again…
And…

It melts away… All the cares of this life… All the fears for fate…
It melts away, The past is dust before Him…
and the future and fear of what will come.
Right now, right here,
in my heart,
I know what is real…
I melt away.

Oh, would that we would never more falter
Would that we would stay on our Lord
Would that our hearts were forever faithful
Would that these sins and cares were shed by the way

Would that idolatry were cast as far as the east is from the west
Would that there were forgiveness for me
Would that God and I could forget
Would that I could lose myself in Him and be gone… and be free

Then, gently he comes to me in the deep dark night of my soul and Jesus whispers… Because of me…

It melts away… All the cares of this life… All the fears for fate…
It melts away... The past is dust before Me…
and the future and fear of what will come.
Right now, right here,
in your heart,
You know what is real…
Now…
Just relax into my arms my child.

And let it ALL just melt away.

Melt away into me my precious child,
just for a moment ‘til I take you in my arms and…
we fly away.
