(Verse 1) I once was fatherless,
a stranger with no hope;
Your kindness wakened me,
Awakened me, from my sleep
(Verse 2) Your love it beckons deeply,
a call to come and die.
By grace now I will come
And take this life, take your life.
(Pre-chorus) Sin has lost it's power,
death has lost it's sting.
From the grave you've risen
VICTORIOUSLY!
(Chorus) Into marvelous light I'm running,
Out of darkness, out of shame.
By the cross you are the truth,
You are the life, you are the way
(Verse 3) My dead heart now is beating,
My deepest stains now clean.
Your breath fills up my lungs.
Now I'm free. now I'm free!
(Bridge) Lift my hands and spin around,
See the light that I have found.
Oh the marvelous light
Marvelous light
Lift my hands and spin
See the light within . . .
God has challenged me this weekend to push away what the world values and to embrace His abundant life that He gives freely to me.There is so much that I had on my shoulders when I arrived at our NCM ski retreat, but Praise the Lord He has taken my burdens away!Now I'm free, now I'm free!So as I thought about this weekend and all the thing God has taught me and the people He has put in my mind; I can't help but know how Amazing our Creator is!
I love Him so much and I want to make Him the center of my life.But this weekend has shown me how far away my heart is from God and how I need the help that only God can supply me with.I want to take every decision, every cry of my heart to Him in prayer.This will be hard and a lot of work and discipline on my part, but well-worth it in the long run.
I want to start anew and turn over a fresh leaf in my life.These last 2 days have helped me get a good start on this stage of my life.Right now there are so many things I have been thinking about.The top three being my Christian walk, where I'm going and what I'm doing when I graduate, and lastly who I am going to marry in the future.If you think about it, these are questions many ponder in this age of life.So, in a sense it is normal to wonder about such things.But me I want to give these to the Author and Finisher of my life.I do not want to take them into my own hands and worry over them until I'm stressed out.So I am going into the unknown trusting God and God alone to care for my life.
I love you God and thank-you so much for creating me for your glory!
