Sanctus Real - Whatever You’re Doing

Posted by Melinda | Filed under Uncategorized

Heard this new song by Sanctus Real yesterday - and it couldn’t be more perfect for me right now. I’m attending a new small group that is working through a book called Healing is a Choice by Stephen Aterburn. It’s opened up some old wounds for me. Band-aids have been ripped off and now they are bleeding (sometimes profusely). I’m stuck in a rut right now. I’ve dealt and still dealing with these emotions by…NOT dealing with them and at this point - that’s really holding me back. So, with the encouragement of a few special people I will call Blessings from hereonout, I’ve decided that I’m ready to get down and dirty with these emotions. Well actually I’ve decided you are never really “ready” to deal with the things that hurt you…you just have to submit to doing it and you can’t put it off forever. Maybe what I mean to say is that I am ready to start letting GOD help me deal and let the Blessings He’s put into play to help me to do just that. God says it’s time so I know it isn’t really up to me anymore. Can’t stuff it forever…God’s making that obvious.

SANCTUS REAL - Whatever You’re Doing (click this to watch the video)

It’s time for healing time to move on
It’s time to fix what’s been broken too long
Time to make right what has been wrong
It’s time to find my way to where I belong
There’s a wave that’s crashing over me
And all I can do is surrender

(Chorus)
Whatever You’re doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but somehow there’s peace
It’s hard to surrender to what I can’t see
but I’m giving in to something Heavenly

Time for a milestone
Time to begin again
Reevaluate who I really am
Am I doing everything to follow Your will
Or just climbing aimlessly over these hills
So show me what it is You want from me
I give everything I surrender…
To…

(Chorus)

Time to face up
Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out
That I’ve wanted to say for so many years
Time to release all my held back tears

(Chorus 2x)

It’s time to face up
Clean this old house
Time *to* breathe in and let everything out

Just thought I’d add this song, too - another Sanctus Real with relational lyrics:  I’m Not Alright

If weakness is a wound that no one wants to speak of
Then “cool” is just how far we have to fall
I am not immune, I only want to be loved
But I feel safe behind the firewall

Can I lose my need impress?
If you want the truth I need to confess

[Chorus:]
I’m not alright, I’m broken inside
And all I go through, it leads me to you

Burn away the pride
Bring me to my weakness
Until everything I hide behind is gone
And when I’m open wide with nothing left to cling to
Only you are there to lead me on.

Honestly, I’m not that strong.

[Chorus:]

I’m not alright… that’s why I need you.
