Know And Fear The Lord

I had a dream last night. I dream almost every night, usually stuff that makes no sense at all or stuff that's absolutely horrid and terrifying. But last night it was different. It was vivid and real and I believe very important.
---
I was leaving a building, walking with Chantal and my sister and I saw this man looking at me. He was very dark skinned with grey hair. He was wearing a white suit with a white shirt and a white tie. When I got into the van I sat in the front seat and I turned around and sitting in the very back was the same man, but now he's wearing a black suit, black shirt and black tie. I started talking to him, kinda in a scared way and Chantal asked me who I was talking to. She couldn't see him. And at that moment I knew he represented death. And the man in the white represented life. Then it jumped to me walking with the man dressed in black and I he was telling me I wasn't doing something... and for the life of me I can't figure out what he said! I argued that I was a good christian, but he was telling me there was something I was missing. And then I think I knew I was going to die... and I was OK with it. But then I appeared in some room, like a freezer or storage closet with my mom and she asked me where I'd been. I asked how long I'd been gone for and she said one week. Then the dream ended.
---
It's been on my mind all day. I'm not giving my all the way I should be. I just don't know what I need to do to be giving my all. I mean I know there's things I need to work on, I know exactly what, but I feel like I'm missing something, and the black suited guy told me and I can't remember!
---
I need to be more honest with myself I think. I need to concentrate on God and I and not on my relationships with other people.... I know my relationships with other people are important, but I've kinda got a hold on that right now..... and God is waiting for my 100% all.... these are just rambles of stuff going through my head.... I'm just not sure how to take my relationship with God to the next level.
---
I hope He speaks to me again soon.... I mean, I hope I can hear Him soon... I hope I understand. I want to understand.
---
Come and listen, come to the water's edge, all you who know and fear the Lord.
Come and listen, come to the water's edge all you who are thirsty, come.
Let me tell you what He has done for me.
Let me tell you what He has done for me,
He has done for you,
He has done for us.
Come and listen,
come and listen to what He's done.
Come and listen,
come and listen to what He's done.
Praise our God for He is good.
Praise our God for He is good.
Praise our God for He is good.
Praise our God for He is good.
He has done for me,
He has done for you,
He has done for us.
Come and listen,
come and listen to what He's done.
Come and listen,
come and listen to what He's done.

God's Amazing Power

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
