This song is from the Prince of Egypt, and it’s a great movie so go watch it if you haven’t already. Has great storytelling and Biblical elements but what really got me was this duet. When I first heard the singing I slowly recognized it from a song I heard really long ago when I was a child, and is one of the first memories I had but I never knew it was from this movie, nevermind a movie about Moses and our God. I don’t even remember who sang it to me or if I just caught a bit of it on television but the memory stuck, and when I heard this song for the first time again ever since then, it all came flooding back to me that God was there at the beginning, before I even knew about God. Somehow, He made Himself known to me before I could form coherent thoughts, though I did not know His Name, I remembered His song. And listening to it in that moment I wept, wept because of His abundant Love that always finds a way, that though from when I was young to now, I had sinned and seemingly left God many times through many forms of distractions and sinful thoughts, He had never left me. And the fact that He was with me through all of it and is still pouring His mercy unto me is a miracle. This song reminded me I was chosen, that perhaps we are all chosen by God, for we are indeed miracles and His children from the very start. Yes, there may be fear, but there is also this grounded faith that don’t make sense, and we place that faith into our Lord and our God.
Our God truly is alive, and working through each and every one of us, in different ways yes, but all for the glory of God and His Kingdom that never ends. Amen.
