The world may fade
You will remain
In the midst of the trial
You will always be, I'll sing
Our God never fails
Our God never fails
With hope and light
You reign over all
Though my heart may fail
You will always be, I'll sing
Our God never fails
Our God never fails
Praise in the morning
Praise in the evening
Praise when I'm laughing
Praise when I'm grieving
There will be dancing
There will be singing
Upon injustice we will tell of our God
The hope of all hearts
The hope of all hearts Is you
Your love never fails
Your love never fails
With hope and light
You reign over all
Though my heart may fail
You will always be all the same
Our God never fails
Our God never fails
The hope of all hearts
The hope of all hearts Is you
Your love never fails
Your love never fails
In darkness,
In trial, my soul shall sing
Of his mercy, and kindness
Our offering of praise
Our God never fails
Our God never fails
i knew i had to go up to that altar today, and just surrender, tell God i cannot do this by myself. there was such a great desire in me to serve with everything i had, to lay it all down for His glory. i've been living very unpurposefully these last few months, just all about settling in, making it through each day. but i don't wanna live like that anymore. i wanna go His way, do His will, watch miracles happen everyday in my lives and more importantly, in the lives of those around me. to be honest, i was quite pleased with my spiritual level(?) last year, i could sense God a lot, and He made so many miracles happen. but i grew complacent, accepted that as good enough, but coming here, being emptied, i realized how much more i can go in this, how much deeper i want to fall in love with this great God, how much more i want to be a steward of Christ before i am a student, before i am anything else. everytime i walk up the altar, my biggest fear is receiving, feeling God's presence, but just for the moment. of feeling the difficulty of praying when the music fades, when i'm back in my room, when the world is silent again. i still don't know how to overcome that, except by praying all the more harder i suppose.
i loved how the pastor said that God is not limited by time, and even as i fail over and over again, He knew when i would be able to make it. and when i finally do, He's there, cheering me on saying "I knew you could do it all along!" :') and of how God knew what made me me before i knew what made me me.
but i guess, what i'm trying to say is what i already have said, all the loneliness and awkwardness of the past month is made so worth it, to just be able to experience the peace of God in the midst of my storms. thank You Lord, amen! :)
and here's the CUTEST baby in the world! i wanted to pack her into my bag and bring her home with me today. :P
held by His love,
candice
