Written in Thailand in 2018, this is the most recent song featured in Keys in the Sand. It can be found in Chapter 3: Elevating Our Expectations. God gave me this song when things weren’t going as planned and I was entertaining a lot of worries about the future. He reassured me with His presence in the present – I hope it brings you the same reassurance that it did me.
With You Now -2018 Christina Kaspersen
(verse 1)
Memories are haunting
And the future is so daunting
Meanwhile all I’m wanting
Is to love you in the present
The birds receive their rations
Every flower is in fashion
So why don’t you imagine
I can handle your tomorrows?
(bridge)
I know that this is new to you
But trust me, child, and I will show you how
To learn to love the rhythm of
The wisdom and the power of right now
(chorus)
With you now
I’ve put eternity on pause
With you now
You’ll want to slow down, too, because
With you now
This moment’s more than worth the cross to Me
(verse 2)
Now your past is out of hiding
And the future’s so inviting
Cause you’re simply abiding
In each moment as it’s given
You meet Me in your trials
And long commuter miles
Even grocery aisles
Can contain a bit of heaven
(outro)
Chin up, child, I am with you now (4x)
