Testimony

I haven't blogged in awhile, but am still being greatly touched by music and the Word of God. This song by Sara Groves was an encouragement to me last week and I hope that it will encourage our friends Jason and Angie as they have received some tough news this week. Many Prayers are going up for you guys!

So proud and excited that I by myself 
Have reached such a lofty place 
I took the last step toward my ultimate goal 
But clumsily fell on my face 
I opened my eyes only to find 
I was back at the place I'd begun 
Helpless and broken, I strained and cried out 
Surely the enemy has won 

I felt his peace that passes understanding 
Grace that is never ending 
Love that overflows my soul 
I felt his peace that passes understanding 
Grace that is never ending 
Love overflows my soul 

As I wallowed in self pity, He came to sit with me there 
His presence alone was so rich and so deep 
It chased away all my despair 
I said, 'Lord please forgive me for my prideful heart, 
It sneaks in before I know.' 
He said, 'What prideful heart?' He forgave and forgot 
He said, 'How I want you to know… 

My peace that passes understanding 
Grace that is never ending 
Love that overflows my soul.' 
His peace that passes understanding 
Grace that is never ending 
Love that overflows my soul 

Now how daily I humble myself at His feet 
I make His desire my will 
For He's taken my higher than I have ever been 
And He's taking me higher still 

With his peace that passes understanding 
Grace that is never ending 
Love that overflows my soul 
Oh peace, grace, love that overflows my soul 
My soul

What do I know of Holy

I made You promises a thousand times
I tried to hear from Heaven
But I talked the whole time
I think I made You too small
I never feared You at all No
If You touched my face would I know You?
Looked into my eyes could I behold You?

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

I guess I thought that I had figured You out
I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about
How You were mighty to save
Those were only empty words on a page
Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be
The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?

Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

(CHORUS 2)
What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame?
And a God who gave life "its" name?
What do I know of Holy?
Of the One who the angels praise?
All creation knows Your name
On earth and heaven above
What do I know of this love?

Your Grace

I was lost when ya found me here
You pulled me close and held me near
And I'm a fool but still you love
I'll be your fool for the king of love

He gave me wings so I could fly
And gave me a song to color the sky
And all I have is all from you
And all I want is all of you

It's grace, grace
I'm nothing without you
Grace, your grace
Shines on me

And there've been days when I've walked away
Too much to carry
Nothing left to say
Forgive me Lord when I'm weak and lost
You traded heaven for a wooden cross

And all these years you've carried me
You've been my eyes when I could not see
And beauty grows in the driving rain
Your oil of gladness in the times of pain

It's grace, your grace
I'm nothing without you
Grace, your grace
Shines on me
Your grace, your grace
I'm nothing without you
