Song

Okay, so I'm a song lyric-poster whenever I hear something that strikes a chord with how I'm feeling on a certain day. I heard this one in the car on the way home and made me pause and reflect, so I thought I'd share it. (I don't know why there are random words capitalized--I just copied and pasted it from another source)

"Love So Divine" (Smalltown Poets)
In the shadow of my days
When comfort is so far away
And hope is on the Cross
I lift mine eyes and wholly gaze
Upon the Savior's perfect Face
What mercy Love hath brought
My every hope and fear
Is resting here
With Thee

Chasing through a selfish maze
Of reckless and uncertain days
Our God pursues each heart
And tests even the purest thought
For hope built not upon His Rock
What grace His Love imparts
My every hope and fear
Is captured here

Chorus:
Take what is mine
I couldn't change the smallest part of me
Make me wholly Thine
Love so divine
Saves every part of me
All of me

My one hope in Thee remains
Thy Spirit everyday sustains
Oh, risen Lamb of God
I lift my voice to sing Thy praise
With all the saints redeemed by grace
What mercy Love hath brought
My every hope and fear
Is gathered here

Chorus

When at the final trumpet cry
I'm caught up to my Savior's Side
What joy our hearts shall find
And on that day of Glory I
Will recognize my heart's desire
My God, how great Thou art
My every hope and fear is raptured here

Chorus

I lift my voice to sing Thy praise
With all Thy saints redeemed by grace
With all my heart, with all my mind
With everything I am You know

Hmm.
