You broke the night like the sun…

So so so so good. Overwhelming actually.

Repeated views and meditation therein are strongly encouraged…

And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. [1 John 5:11]

You broke the night like the sun
And healed my heart with Your great love
Any trouble I couldn’t bear
You lifted me upon Your shoulders

A love that’s stronger
A love that covers sin
And takes the weight of the world

I love You
All of my hope is in You
Jesus Christ, take my life
Take all of me

You stand on mountaintops with me
With You I walk through the valleys
You gave Your only son for me
Your grace is all I rely on

I love You so
And I give up my heart to say
I need You so
My everything

I won’t let you choke…

My only regret is that I can post this but once.

The second this is over, I want it to begin all over again…

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.

[Revelation 2:17]

Thrice – Lost Continent

Incredibly timely & wildly appropriate

Was there a time that we knew peace;
when all the children had a place to sleep;
when rhetoric was not enough?

Was there a time we weren’t at war;
when we knew what our hearts and hands were for?
I don’t believe there ever was.

It’s always been a lie,
a soothing lullaby;
we’ll soon be swallowed by the sea.

Was there a time we looked around,
and do we really even want to know what’s going down?
Well I think no one really does.

We’d rather close our eyes;
sing soothing lullabies.

It’s always been a lie,
a soothing lullaby;
we’ll soon be swallowed by the sea.

The water’s rising now;
and we will surely drown,
if we don’t turn around.

May your dreams be realized…

Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thundercloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Rain down on him
Mmm…mmm…mmm…
So let it be
Mmm…mmm…mmm…
So let it be
Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thundercloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Let it rain
Rain on him

GUNGOR – Beautiful Things

Same cello player as this video?

GUNGOR Beautiful Things

Can’t embed – you must watch here.

No really, you must.

All this pain
I wonder if I’ll even find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You Are For Me

Just had a teary, wonderful backporch experience with this song on an overcast Autumn afternoon in NE Indiana.

…so faithful…so constant

Thank you, Father, for never forsaking me in my weakness.

You’ll hear John Piper’s voice from a post down the page a little bit. Hit pause on that player, listen to this song, then make some time to listen to his message.

So faithful
So constant
So loving and so true
So powerful in all you do
You fill me
You see me
You know my every move
You love for me to sing to you

I know that you are for me
I know that you are for me
I know that you will never forsake me in my weakness
I know that you have come down
Even if to write upon my heart
To remind me who you are

So patient
So gracious
So merciful and true
So wonderful in all you do
You fill me
You see me
You know my every move
You love for me to sing to you

I know that you are for me
I know that you are for me
I know that you will never forsake me in my weakness
I know that you have come down
Even if to write upon my heart
To remind me that

I know that you are for me
I know that you are for me
I know that you will never forsake me in my weakness
I know that you have come down
Even if to write upon my heart
To remind me who you are
