THRIV3::{discipline.love.passion}

i’ve wanted to speak, but felt like words failed to come. how do i express hope and sorrow in the same breath. being torn and healed. spinning.

Your love is like a rock when i’m spinning…

we’ll i’ve been hit from every corner, i’ve been thrown from side to side
i’m cracked up on the inside, so i come to You for life

Your presence always heals me, so i’ll wanna drink it in
You know where we’re going God, and You know where i’ve been

and Your love is like a rock when i’m spinning,
Your love is like a rock when i’m spinning
Your love is like a rock when i’m spinning around

yesterday i felt so angry, and today so insecure
and i hate it that i wrestle with the God i adore

and i know less about You, but my heart loves You so much more.
Your the bright in sadness
Your my brightness

i wish this thing could pass from me, but i’m wanting what You want.
so bring me high, or bring me low, just hold me in Your love

(Charile Hall - My Brightness)

these are the words my heart has failed to speak, thanks charlie.
take everything LORD, i just want You.

our pastor matt chandler of the village church has finally started his own blog, Dwell Deep ( http://dwelldeep.net )  up till this point only Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill in Seattle has been able to coerce him into blogging at his pastoral resource the resurgence.   Matt’s other contemporaries, which include John Piper, have been on the blogging bandwagon for some time now.  It only seems fitting that he would join their ranks!  I’m looking forward to how God uses Matt’s words through this new venue.  be sure to read his first post where he explains why he finally succumbed.

when i look into the mountains, i see Your fame
when i look into the night sky, it sparkles Your name

the wind and the clouds and the blue in the sky
the sun and the moon and the stars so high
that’s what draws me to You

{chorus}
i am, i’m captivated by You
(You know that You do)
i am, i’m captivated

when i wake unto the morning, it gives me Your sight
when i look across the ocean, it echos Your might

the sand on the shore, and the waves in the sea
the air in my lungs, and the way You made me
that’s what draws me to You

{chorus x2}

the wind and the clouds and the blue in the sky
the sun and the moon and the stars so high
the sand on the shore, and the waves in the sea
the air in my lungs, and the way You made me

the blood in my viens, and my heart You invade
the plants how they grow and the trees in the shade
the way that i feel and the love in my soul
i thank You my God for letting me know

{chorus x2}
