This song has been on repeat in my mind for almost a month
now. During my time in Uganda, the Lord brought it to my attention and I picked
up the guitar (for the first time in 2 months) and learned it. Again, during
debrief in Nairobi, the Lord asked me to go and play it for the entire squad.
But now for a third time, the Lord has placed it on my mind. So I want to share
the words with you and I pray the Lord will use them in your life like He has
done for me.
the stars and my weary heart; who can see everything
so hard, sometimes I feel so far, but not beyond your reach
climb a mountain, swim the ocean, or do anything
when you hold me, I start unfolding and all that I can say is
The same sun
that rises over castles and welcomes the day
Spills over
buildings into the streets where orphans play
And only you
can see the good in broken things
You took my
heart of stone and you made it home, you set this prisoner free
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah
whatever’s in front of me
help me to sing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
whatever’s in front of me
I’ll choose to sing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
