How It Is Between Us (Sara Groves)

Woke up on the wrong side of the bed,
the wrong side of the room,
the wrong side of the world.
Can't put my finger on the mood.
It's not melancholy, anger or the blues.
I love my husband, my house, my job.
Couldn't be any better,
and really what else is there?
Then I realize I'm forgetting God,
and that's the root of all my misery.
Lord, first of all, how is it between you and me? .

Chorus:
How is it between us?
How is it between us?
When did I talk to you last,
and what has happened since?
How is it between us?
How is it between us?
When did I talk to you last,
and what has happened? .

When I wake up I am on my way,
reinventing the wheel and saving the day.
I have learned this lesson a thousand times,
I am the branch, and you are the vine.
Apart from you we are mice and men,
with our fancy dreams of grandeur and no way to get there.
Oh I can think about you now and then, o
r I can make a mark on eternity.

Lord first of all, how is it,
between you and me? .

Chorus .
So let the wicked prosper,
let the oceans roar,
let the mountains crumble,
and fall into the sea.
There's something more important weighing on my mind.
Lord first of all, how is it between you and me? .

The author:
When I heard this song it really impress something great in my heart. Sometime we are so content with what we have that we keep on persuing it and dwell in it. We successfully obtained what we want and it was all beautiful. But on the other hand we forget to put in the root of our life who bring all this good things to us, that is God. We somehow left Him out of the picture when we are enjoying our good times. It is like He only comes in the picture when we need Him.

We may be touched by God one day but we can also forget about what happened between you and God the other day.

Many I see they call them self Christians but persue their success and never intend to go to church. How can that be? God is no longer in the picture of their success....

I thank God for great success, great people around me and His great guidiance that carry me through mountains and valley!
