I AM ON MY WAY WITH YOU | Rion & Sarah van Vuuren

If you were a sailor, alone deep in the ocean and there was a storm, a hurricane, more intense than you've ever experienced. You were cold, and lost, it was dark and you heard war horns blasting on all sides of the ship, because although you felt alone, you were not completely alone, there was an enemy there, surrounding you. It was raining and the winds blowing, you were soaked and desperate for deliverance. You would cry out to the God who made the sea, who has calmed storms before. You kept on crying out but you became weak and your call became distant, filled with hopelessness as you didn't see Him coming, you did not hear His direction and you battled believing that maybe you were not the apple of His eye after all... This song, tells you what He replies out of the storm. He is speaking to YOU! Hear Him, believe Him.   The song is about meeting God in the depths of your life. In the low places. In the dark places. In the empty spaces of despondency, when you are tired and fight hell's perspective on what you see playing out in front of you. This song is about lifting up your head with hope that Abba's got you in His hand, although you might feel like you are drowning in questions, in fear and in weakness. This song is about the cry of desperation that arise when you find yourself not knowing what to think and what to believe about who Abba is. God is not just in the harvests, He is there when the seed dies and it doesn't have much hope to live, never mind be fruitful. He is there, watching, whispering. He is present but we won't see Him, we won't hear Him unless we meet with Him and believe Him when He says that Harvest time will come again, it might not be today and it might not be tomorrow, it might take longer than that, but He will lead you there. This song is about those moments when you feel like you are at the end of your rope and there isn't much left. You're tired of waiting, tired of feeling the way you do, tired of thinking the way you do, and you don't seem to succeed in choosing life, or so the enemy tells you. Those times that your heart is so heavy that the spirit of death tries to steal your breath. This song, and every song that will follow comes from the place where fear starts getting physical with you, because you've entertained fears lies for small moments of thinking. When fear gets physical, your body loses it's rhythms of life. Your heart does not beat as it should, your breath gets empty and lifeless, you shiver like you are deep in the winter, surrounded by snow. This song is about those moments when you are surrounded by dark voices who lie to you and you start to become confused, just because you dared to listen. Fear tries to tell you, this is the end but it's nothing but a lie. It's nothing but false evidence appearing to be real.  We have been there and from that place, we cried out for YHVH to rescue us, we cried out to Him to save us and He did. He led us out of the storm that we were in and brought us to a place of being still, a place of trusting beyond what you see and what you feel.  Maybe you haven't been 'there' or maybe you have. We can testify that God is in the depths, there where no one else is and He wants to show us who He is, but there are only few who are able to buy that midnight oil from Him. He is calling for His bride to worship Him in the night hours of sorrow and suffering, in order to buy oil from Him. Without this oil, we won't see the Bridegroom face to face and hear Him say- "You've finished well faithful one."  This song is a cry to meet God in the low moments of your life, and to hear what He says to you there. Don't neglect buying oil in the night seasons, because that oil is the way we met Him in our darkest hours. Without that oil, you won't be able to stay awake in faith when the night gets rough and the wait long.
