Song of the Week: "To Save Me" by M. Ward

From his Hold Time project, "To Save Me" is a hope that God would make his awesome power available for our need. The imagery is like the psalms. "He shifts in his sleep and the earth begins to quake" isn't too different from Psalm 78:65 (ESV), "Then the Lord awoke as from sleep like a strong man shouting because of wine/And he put his adversaries to rout." The ESV Study Bible says of the text, "This is a bold image, conveying what the believer can feel like when he has not so far seen how God is active. God stirs himself from apparent inactivity to take action on behalf of his suffering people."
