Just Thinking

It's a bit funny - it seems that I can't quite put into words all that is running around in my head - as well as what is filtering down into my heart. It seems that the words to the songs I keep posting are able to say a bit more of some of the things I am feeling.

When I think about God's Faithfulness - and the title of this blog "Revisited" - I hope I never grow weary of experiencing His faithfulness. I hope that I never stop being amazed by His goodness and His grace. That despite the hard times and the sad times - God does not change. There is nothing that can seperate us from His love which means we can not lose His faithfulness, His Grace, His Mercy or any part of His character. For those who are His - we are His forever.

I keep thinking of the song by Third Day "Your Love Oh Lord" - It is a simple song but once again has such a heart penetrating message for me anyway.

"Your Love oh Lord - Reaches to the heavens.

Your Faithfulness stretches to the sky.

Your righteousness is like the mighty mountain.

Your justice flows like the ocean tide.

And I will lift my voice to worship You my King

And I will find my strength in the shadow of Your wing."

Sometimes - when it feels a bit dark or heavy we find our comfort in knowing the character of God - At times it is the only thing we find solace in. And there is such a great comfort in knowing that it is in His arms - the shadow of His Wings - where we are carried when we can't see where the strength will come from.

God's Faithfulness Revisited? I pray I never get tired of His character - and I pray that I never stop being amazed.

"And I will lift my voice to worship You my King

And I will find my strength in the shadow of Your Wing...."

Undone

No apologies For who I'm meant to be

The only thing that matters is I am free

When I am overwhelmed

Holding pieces of my heart

When I feel my world Start to fall apart

To the cross I run

Holding high my chains undone

Now I am finally free

Free to be what I've become

Undone

Even in defeat The face of tragedy

Still you'd have to say that I found victory

In brokenness comes beauty

Divine fragility

Reminding me of nail scarred hands

Reaching out for me

To the cross I run

Holding high my chains undone

Now I am finally free

Free to be what I've become

To the cross I run

Holding high my chains undone

Now I am finally free

Free to be what I've become

Undone

Spoken For

Take this world from me Don't need it anymore
For I am finally free My heart is spoken for

Oh and I praise You Oh and I worship You

Covered by a love divine Child of the risen Lord
To hear You say "This one's mine" My heart is spoken for

Now I have a peace That I've never known before
I find myself complete My heart is spoken for

Oh and I praise You Oh and I worship You

Covered by a love divine Child of the risen Lord
To hear You say "This one's mine" My heart is spoken for

I Will Praise You In This Storm

I was sure by now God You would have reached down

And wiped our tears away Stepped in and saved the day

But once again, I say “Amen”, and it’s still raining

As the thunder rolls I barely hear You whisper

through the rain“I’m with you”

And as Your mercy falls I raise my hands

and praise the God who gives And takes away

I’ll praise You in this storm And I will lift my hands

For You are who You are No matter where I am

Every tear I’ve cried You hold in Your hand

You never left my side And though my heart is torn

I will praise You in this storm

I remember when I stumbled in the wind

You heard my cry You raised me up again

My strength is almost gone How can I carry on

If I can’t find You As the thunder rolls

I barely hear You whisper through the rain

“I’m with you” And as Your mercy falls

I raise my hands and praise the God who gives

And takes away

I lift my eyes unto the hills Where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord The maker of Heaven and Earth

Everlasting God

Strength will rise as we wait upon

the LordWait upon the Lord

We will wait upon the Lord

Strength will rise as we wait upon

the LordWait upon the Lord

We will wait upon the Lord

Our God You reign forever

Our Hope our strong Deliverer

You are the everlasting God

The everlasting God

You do not faint You won't grow weary

You're the defender of the weak

You comfort those in need

You lift us up on wings like eagles

You are the everlasting God

Faithfulness Revisited

From time to time we are reminded in this life of how faithful God is. You would think we wouldn't need to be reminded of that. After all God has not changed - EVER! But because we do and because of our human nature we have to be reminded of just how faithful God is. And I think that is what He is once again trying to show me.
