This is a special song, because I began writing it in at the camp of the LORD in Chandler, OK, (almost 1,000 people gathered for Sukkot 2016, camping out, or in RV's).
I was by the lakeside, just enjoying the soothing sound of the waves washing in, and thus this song was born.
Sukkot is a time appointed by God in the Bible, remembering when God brought the Israelites out of slavery, and how they camped in Sukkahs (akin to tents). It s a powerful way to declare trust in God to provide, not looking to a comfortable house, but to him, while dwelling in a flimsy tent!
There was immense joy at this gathering, which is like it says:
"and you shall REJOICE before the Lord your God for seven days." Lev. 23:40b
So the song makes reference to the Biblical establishment of this 7 day festival, and also talks of my personal experience dwelling with the LORD at Lion and Lamb's Sukkot 2016 in Chandler, OK. Hope you enjoy. : ) And... let me know if you hear the WAVES! ; )
lyrics
Down by the waves,
Comin' in slow,
Resting here with You
(2x)
Ooo--ooo-ooo...
Here in this camp,
Dwelling with You,
There's nothing I'd rather do
(2x)
Ooo-ooo-ooo...
In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day...
Is the Feast of Booths to the LORD...
You shall live in booths for seven days,
And You shall rejoice before the LORD your God____! YEAH!
Down by the waves,
Comin' in slow,
Resting here with You
Here in this camp,
Dwelling with You,
There's nothing I'd rather do
Ooo-ooo-ooo...
So I will rejoice before You, my God!
Yes I will rejoice in You!
Oh, I will rejoice before You, my God,
Yes, I will rejoice in You.
(2x)
In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day...
Is the Feast of Booths to the LORD...
You shall live in booths for seven days,
And You shall rejoice before the LORD your God!____ YEAH!
Down by the waves,
Comin' in slow,
Resting here with You....
(2x)
