God speaks to me through dreams and songs. I think both mediums leave my brain out of the loop and that helps. Often I overthink so much that I can’t even remember if I heard God right in the first place. But with dreams, they happen when I’m asleep of course, and then when I wake up I have this memory that I can’t really argue with. And songs…well, let’s say I’m in a difficult situation, I’m panicking or very anxious, full of thoughts…suddenly out of the blue, a song arises in my heart and is on my lips. I often sing it a couple of times before I even realise that I’m singing…and then lo and behold the lyrics turn out to be just what I need to hear!
And what am I singing right now? The butterfly song from Sunday School. And yes, all I needed to know today is that I’m still God’s child. In all my confusion of the future, my anxiety of falling away from His will, all my worries of what will be…I just needed to know my Daddy’s looking out for me.
THE BUTTERFLY SONG
Words and Music by Brian Howard
If I were a butterfly, I’d thank you Lord for giving me wings
If I were a robin in a tree, I’d thank you Lord that I could sing
If I were a fish in the sea, I’d wiggle my tail and I’d giggle with glee
But I just thank you father for making me, me
For you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile
You gave me Jesus and you made me your child
And I just thank you Father for making me, me
If I were an elephant, I’d thank you Lord by raising my trunk
If I were a kangaroo, You know I’d hop right up to you
If I were an octopus, I’d thank you Lord for my fine looks
But I just thank you Father for making me, me
For you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile
You gave me Jesus and you made me your child
And I just thank you Father for making me, me
If I were a wiggly worm, I’d thank you Lord that I could squirm
If I were a fuzzy wuzzy bear, I’d thank you Lord for my fuzzy, wuzzy hair
If I were a crocodile, I’d thank you Lord for my great smile
But I just thank you Father for making me, me
For you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile
You gave me Jesus and you made me your child
And I just thank you Father for making me, me
