faithful you are faithful

i want to sing you a love song

singing this song on Sunday at church completely took away my breath and my voice and it was the most in touch worship experience i have had in a very very long time. i think those experiences are the kind that you most want to talk about, but have the hardest time explaining.

i love God and i've been away from Him for so long, but he's been faithful. He's been loving, when I've tried to forget Him.

Psalm 39

p.s. why do i keep finding blogs about iowa?

Divine Romance

I'm listening to this song that Becca walked down the aisle to in her wedding, and I am just so thankful for God's love and His hand in my life. Tonight was a great night of just being with joyful girls that love God-and the way everything in my life is taken care of and orchestrated is just beautiful. I love Jesus and I love how He romances me.

The fullness of
Your grace is here with me
The richness of
Your beauty is all I see

The brightness of
Your glory has arrived
In your presence God
I'm completely satisfied

For You I sing, I dance
Rejoice in this divine romance
Lift my heart and my hands
To show my love
To show my love

A deep, deep flood
Emotion flows through You
A deep, deep love
Yeah, is fillin' up the room

Your innocent blood
Has washed my guilty life
In Your presence God
I'm completely satisfied

For You, I sing I dance

Rejoice in this divine romance
Lift my heart and my hands
To show my love
To show my love

For You I sing I dance

I rejoice in this divine romance
Lift my heart and my hands
To show my love
To show my love

For You I sing I dance

I rejoice in this divine romance
Lift my heart and my hands
To show my love
To show my love
