We often use the desert as a metaphor for life's struggles. This Vibe brings that metaphor to life through images that give us a taste of the magnitude and severity of life in a desert. Follow along as a man stumbles through a REAL desert looking for a time and place of refreshing. Music by the Robbie Seay Band. 2 Versions: With and Without Titles.
Main Point: Life without the living water proves to be a
desolate place.
Synopsis:
- A lone
man wanders through the wasteland searching for the living water. As he
cries out, He is no longer. Lyrics listed below.
- Filmed
on location in the desert—the guy encounters barrenness, tumbleweed, sage,
and endless dunes—there’s a haze over the lens giving the feel of hopeless,
lonely wandering.
- The
man’s cries for the Lord are superimposed on the screen—he asks for Jesus
to quicken him, rise in him, and drink of him.
- I have
no wit, no words, no tears; My heart within me like a stone is numbered
too much for hope or fears. Look right look left. I dwell alone. I life
mine eyes but dimmed with grief No everlasting hills I see; My life is in
the falling leaf, O Jesus quicken me.
- My
life is like a faded leaf; my harvest dwindled to a husk. Truly my life is
void and brief and tedious in the barren dusk; my life is like a frozen
thing, no bud nor greenness can I see, yet rise it shall the map of
spring. O Jesus rise in me.
- My
life is like a bowl, a broken bowl that cannot hold. One drop of water for
my soul. Or cordial in the searching cold. Cast in the fire the perished
thing; Melt and remove it ‘til it be a royal cup for Him my King. O, Jesus
drink of me.
- High
quality production quality.
Application:
- Jesus
quenches the thirst of the spiritually thirsty.
- In reality,
we are never alone—Jesus walks with us even when we aren’t aware of His
presence.
Suggested Uses:
- Appropriate
for reflection before prayer or worship service begins
- Version
without titles can be custom fit for your Church service—mute the sound
and use it as a background for worship song lyrics.
Biblical Reference:
- James
4:8 Come close to God, and he will come close
to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you
double-minded.
Lyrics
I am far from grace. I am far from truth. I am far from
love. I feel so far from you.
I want to come back home (4 x) I am on my way. (4 x)
(repeat)
We’re calling you. We’re needing you. We’re loving you.
