let me know that You hear me
let me know Your touch
let me know that You love me
let that be enough
—“let that be enough” // switchfoot
i am sure God keeps no one waiting unless He sees that it is good for him to wait.
—c. s. lewis
hold me near, when i am restless
hold me near, when i am bitter
hold me near, when i’m rebellious
hold me near until the end
hold me near, when my heart is broken
hold me near, when i’m ignorant
hold me near, when i am jealous
hold me near until the end
but as for me, my feet almost gave up, i nearly sold my heart
it’s good to be held by my Father, its good to be where You are
in awe
before the throne of God above // i have a strong and perfect plea // the great High Priest whose name is Love // Who ever lives and pleads for me
my name is graven on His hands // my name is written on His heart // i know that while in heaven He stands // no tongue can bid me thence depart
when satan temps me to despair // and tells me of the guilt within // upward i look and see Him there // Who put an end to all my sin
because the sinless Savior died // my sinful soul is counted free // for God, the Just, is satisfied // to look on Him and pardon me
behold Him there, the risen Lamb // my perfect, spotless Righteousness // the great unchangeable I Am // the King of glory and of grace
one in Himself i cannot die // my soul is purchased by His blood // my life is hid with Christ on high // with Christ my Savior and my God
“before the throne of God”
blows my mind. every single time. whenever i hear or sing this, all i can do is stand and be amazed at God and His grace.
Matthew 6:3 (by Brittney Borowski)
i’m determined to love each day more than i’m afraid of it.
“the Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” // psalm 126:3
ezekiel 36-37
I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit in you and move you to follow My decrees and be careful to keep My laws…
Then all the nations around you that remain will know that I the Lord have rebuilt what was destroyed and have replanted what was desolate. I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.
My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be My people. Then the nations with know that I the Lord make Israel holy, when My sanctuary is among them forever.
how firm
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said—
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
Fear not, I am with thee, oh, be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand.
When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be with thee thy trouble to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not harm thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.
The soul that on Jesus doth lean for repose,
I will not, I will not, desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake.
