Lately I’ve been struggling to blog because I can’t seem to find the words to explain to you my heart and the place its in right now. That’s really nothing new, though. I usually have a time trying to find the words to most accurately explain myself. It’s one reason – or the biggest reason – I like music so much. So, in a desperate attempt to share my heart with you, I’m going to do so with these lyrics.
Lately I’ve been paying extra close attention to God’s character…
God of creation
There at the start
Before the beginning of time
I can see Your heart in everything You’ve made
Every burning star
A signal fire of grace
If creation sings Your praises so will I
I can see Your heart in everything You’ve say
Every painted sky
A canvas of Your grace
If creation still obeys You so will I
If the stars were made to worship so will I
if the mountains bow in reverence so will I
If the oceans roar Your greatness so will I
For if everything exists to lift You high so 2ill I
If the wind goes where You send it so will I
If the rocks cry out in silence so will I
If the sum of all our praises still falls shy
Then we’ll sing again a hundred billion times
God of salvation
You chased down my heart
Through all my failure and pride
…in pursuit of my own identity..
You are not a taker, You are only ever
Giving and drawing, seeking and calling
You are not a faker, You are only ever
Honest and true, genuine in all You do
We give You access to our hearts
And you give us access to all You are
You are not a stranger, You are only ever
Father, Provider, Healer, Defender
You are mine forever, and there will be no other
Savior and keeper, lover and friend
I’ve recently learned the purpose that you and I were put on this earth…
Oh, it’s love so undeniable
I, I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable
I, I can hardly think
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still
You’re a good good Father
It’s who You are, its who You are, its who You are
And I’m loved by You
…God created us simply to be loved.
He is jealous for me…
And I realize how beautiful You are
And how great Your affections are for me
And oh, how He loves us, oh
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us all

Jesus loves me
This I know
For the Bible
Tells me so…
My dear, child. Do not grow weary. I am Love. I am Gentle. I am Understanding. I am your Father. I am your Teacher. I am your Redeemer. I am Light. I am Freeing. I am Comforting. I am Honest. I am Truth. I am Joy. I am your Protector and Provider. I am jealous for you.
I call you My beloved. You are chosen by Me. You carry my light. You are a part of My church. You are forgiven and any chain that has held you down is broken. You are safe. You are understood. You are welcome. You are gifted and clothed with power from Me. You are my child forever and ever Amen.
