as i pray and wait upon the Lord
i know Your grace, in love i am restored
as i think of all You've done for me
the mystery of Your love

who walked upon the sea
who lived to die for me

You, Lord
You, Lord
You, Lord
You are Lord

sometimes, it feels like we've got it sorted. like we finally got it somewhat figured out. and somewhere along the way, complacency creeps in. it's almost as if we tell God "yeah, it's alright i got it"

but oh how i thank God when He gives me gentle reminders, time and again no matter how long it takes to learn the lesson, that that is simply not the case. at all.

Father, Your love, Your faithfulness, Your patience never ceases to amaze me.. each and every time i come back crying out to You - You look at me with eyes full of love, full of grace. with arms wide open, ready to embrace me to tell me that You've missed me, that Your love for me will never change, and that You will never leave me.

(this was on a friend's blog but it really spoke to me-)
Jesus, You're already my best friend. so here i am today - i want to be Your best friend too.
there is no one like You

as i look upon You i am changed
though i fail, Your faithful love remains
as i sing and worship You
i find again no words describe Your love

who watches over me
whose love has covered me

You, Lord
You, Lord
You, Lord
You are Lord

even as i realise that it's only through His grace that i am who i am today, that it's only becaue Jesus has seen me through that i am still standing today - once again everything else falls into place.
