I’ve still been going through lots of changes, but they are all good. God is drawing me closer to his heart, which is such an incredible, beautiful thing! I have an abundance of joy and peace today, which I am so thankful for. These things have been rare commodities these past few months, so they are especially sweet today. I feel like I have such a child-like faith today-I am not thinking about things that are too big for me-just delighting in having a quiet spirit before my Father.
The fog has finally cleared to see,
The beautiful life you’ve given me
To feel the breeze of my newborn’s gentle breath
With one to walk hand in hand,
To share this life that you have planned
It’s like a storybook with dreams
That are meant to see every next step is an extraordinary scene
I know that I’ve been,
Given more than beyond measure,
I come alive when,
I see beyond my fears
I know that I’ve been given more than earthly treasure,
I come alive when
I’ve broken down and given You control
I’ve faced a great tragedy,
But have seen the works of what You bring
A display of faith that You give,
I don’t know if I will ever understand
The depth of what it is You’ve done inside,
But I know that I won’t find any worth apart from You
I know that I’ve been,
Given more than beyond measure,
I come alive when,
I see beyond my fears
I know that I’ve been given more than earthly treasure,
I come alive when
I’ve broken down and given You control
Everything that I have
Has been given so unselfishly
And shown that even when I don’t deserve
You always show the fullness of Your love
I know that I’ve been,
Given more than beyond measure,
I come alive when,
I see beyond my fears
I know that I’ve been given more than earthly treasure,
I come alive when
I’ve broken down and given You control
When I’ve broken down and given You control
