the year that everything will never be the same again... :)
thought it fitting for a change as we anticipate this next chapter: loveextravagant V.3.
farewell to here. what a 6 years!
Who, oh Lord, could save themselves,
Their own soul could heal?
Our shame was deeper than the sea
Your grace is deeper still
You alone can rescue, You alone can save
You alone can lift us from the grave
You came down to find us, led us out of death
To You alone belongs the highest praise
You, oh Lord, have made a way
The great divide You heal
For when our hearts were far away
Your love went further still
Yes, your love goes further still
We lift up our eyes, lift up our eyes
You’re the Giver of Life
we always seem to find a song that captivates us around the holidays -- speaks loudly to not only our lives but what's going on in the world around us. so, this, our hymn for the season at hand.
things are a whole lot different this year... and a whole lot "different-er" they'll be next year.
but His love that always goes further than our fears, anxieties, worries is what we hold fast to.
Merry Christmas! :)
it's gonna be a mega-month of friends near, far; charities/giving/volunteering; sweet hellos and bittersweet goodbyes...
11.11
our last before..... :))
I see your face in every sunrise
The colors of the morning are inside your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say... You’re Beautiful
I see your pow’r in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
We are amazed in the light of the stars
Its all proclaiming who you are... You’re beautiful
I see you there hanging on a tree
You bled and then you died and then you rose again for me
Now you are setting on your heavenly throne
Soon you will be coming home... You’re Beautiful
When we arrive at eternity’s shore
Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
We’ll enter in as the wedding bells ring
Your bride will come together and we’ll sing... You’re Beautiful
life isn't always. but He is. and that's that.
it's been awhile, wickham.
ps: not so related but <3 our church. :))
