There is a line of a song that has been my anthem the last few weeks……I think about it all the time, I pray it, and I’ve sang it when our awesome worship team at church has done it.
We won’t be satisfied with anything ordinary…..we won’t be satisfied at all.
Everytime I sing it, the very thought of what I’m saying permeates to my very soul. First, what is ORDINARY? In order to know that I’m not satisfied with it, what is ordinary to me?
To me, ordinary is stagnant. It’s coming to church, setting up, going through practice, saying a quick prayer, singing 3 songs and then 1 at altar, tearing down equipment, and going and getting lunch. That’s my ordinary.
When I looked up the definition….I found ordinary means COMMONLY ENCOUNTERED, USUAL. Ordinary, commonly encountered. Is that how you experience God and church?
I am NOT satisfied….especially with “commonly encountering” God. I WANT MORE!!!
PLEASE, take a minute to watch the video below on YouTube by Deluge, “Open Up The Sky” and read the lyrics below. Let it be YOUR prayer. We don’t want blessings God, we want YOU. We are NOT satisfied with the ordinary.
Our beloved Father, please come down and meet us
We are waiting for Your touch
Open up the heavens, shower down your presence
We respond to Your great love
We won’t be satisfied with anything ordinary,
We won’t be satisfied at all
Open up the sky, fall down like rain
We don’t want blessings, We want You
Open up the sky, fall down like fire
We don’t want anything but You
Our beloved Jesus, we just wanna see You
In the glory of Your light.
Earthly things don’t matter, They just fade and shatter
When we’re touched by love divine.
We won’t be satisfied with anything ordinary
We won’t be satisfied at all
Open up the sky, fall down like rain
We don’t want blessings, we want You
Open up the sky, fall down like fire
We don’t want anything but You
Here we go, let’s go to the throne
The place that we belong, right into His arms
We won’t be satisfied with anything ordinary,
We won’t be satisfied at all.
What’s your “ordinary?”
TALK ABOUT IT…..

Jenny - I’m on the same page with ya girl…this song has been an awakening for me and gets right to my heart everytime I hear it!! I feel like I’m finally to a place where I can actually sing this song and mean it…thanks for blogging about it!
Jenny,
I always love your blogs. They are so refreshing! Keep the posts coming!
I LOVE the new setup too!!! It looks great!
HALLELUJAH!! WHAT A SONG. THIS SONG IS SUCH A BLESSING. MAN THIS WORLD NEEDS MORE MUSIC LIKE THIS. WHAT A POWERFUL MESSAGE. MY HEART RESPONSES TO THIS SONG. I WANT MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD TO BE THIS WAY. I WANT ALL GOD HAS FOR US. I WANT HIS POWER AND SPIRIT TO FILL MY HEART. GOD BLESS.
WHAT A JOY TO HEAR THIS POWERFUL WORSHIP SONG. TRULY WE WON’T BE SATISFIED WITH ANYTHING AT ALL. OUR WHOLE BEING MUST BE CONSUMED WITH WANTING THE POWER OF JESUS. WE TRULY WANT JESUS. OH GOD, I NEED YOU SO MUCH. FILL ME.
ED SAYS: TO ME ORDINARY IS BEING SATISFIED WITH THE STATUS QUO. IT IS AN EXISTENCE THAT REQUIRES NO ACCOUNTABILITY. IT IS MY DESIRE TO RISE ABOVE THE ORDINARY AND MOVE INTO THE EXTRAORDINARY. THIS IS WHERE I CAN MOVE INTO THE PRESENCE OF GOD, AND STAY THERE. IT IS AWESOME TO KNOW SUCH A POWERFUL, LOVING GOD. JESUS IS WONDERFUL. I GIVE GOD THE PRAISE FOR MUSIC THAT DRAWS US TO THE THRONE ROOM OF GOD. LET US GO UNTO THE THRONE OF GOD, SURRENDERING OUR LIVES TO NOT BEING SATISFIED WITH THE ORDINARY. OPEN UP THE SKY, FALL DOWN LIKE FIRE, WE DON’T WANT ANYTHING BUY YOU. HALLELUJAH!!!
Here we go, let’s go to the throne, right into His arms! I love this song. We sing it at church and the tears flow down my cheeks every time. I hope it keeps bringing us together. Let’s get ready!
I love this song soo much, I was singing it last night at the worship thing I go to called overflow.
While singing, I thought I wish I could give more to Him..all I can do is sing, raise my hands, maybe jump around a little..but that’s all. My voice doesn’t even sound that good..whatev.
AHH..I just want more and I want Him to live through me all the time! Thank you for this, I needed it!
Wow! Thank you very much! I always wanted to write in my site something like that
I heard this song for the first time last night at church during worship, no song has touched me like this before, I know there must be more to God than what I am experiencing, I want more, how is it even possible to have an ordinary experiences with an extra- ordinary God, I want more. Thank you forthe blog
i like it way better when Aaron Keyes sings it cuz i saw him in concert n he sang it it was total AWSUMNESS!!!!!
Your post is number “1″ in my book!
Whoever said advice wasn’t free.
This is a good write-up, I was wondering if I could use this piece on my website, I will link it back to your website though. If this is a problem please let me know and I will take it down right away.
