Great song, found this song last night after going to confessions. This song is what I confessed, trying to live in this world and not take it onboard is a challenge. We are to give the control to God and his righteousness and not our control and self righteousness. “Open the gates of righteousness; I will enter and thank the LORD. This is the LORD’s own gate, through it the righteous enter.” Psalms 118:19-20 Anger and greed are a funny thing, our human nature gets in the way when we respond. God is telling us it is He who will respond, we are to walk through the gate of His righteousness. Christ did not fire back a response when under attack personally. He said, forgive them Father for the know not what they do. We are not to be self-righteous for this is the work of the devil. Open God's gate of righteousness and give it to him to control. Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for belonging in Your covenant family. I thank You for Your guidance in my life. Lord You always know how to respond may I turn my challenges over to you and let Your righteousness shine through and not my sinful righteousness take over. Lord bless this day with insight and understanding, give us the words when asked to speak and may we never forget we are loved by You. In Jesus name, Amen.
These lyrics are incredibly pure and come from a deep place of knowing the Lord. Absolutely beautiful and this song resonates with me, especially in this difficult season of life. "Will we learn to know the joy of living?"
I love this version of the song, the other one is amazing but this one just so beautifully sang, beautiful voice. We praise God for such music and your talent. \o/
He released this song early. And I'm here towards the beginning to hear it! Wow what I nice song. Can't wait to hear it on the radio this Christmas season.
Ephesians 2:1-10New International Version (NIV) Made Alive in Christ 2 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a] and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
I'm staying at an airbnb in Scotland and the lyrics "May a broken god be known in the earth beneath our feet" are printed on the bedsheets! I had to find the origin. Is this an original line or something from the bible.
i abandon my addiction to the certainty of life and my need to know everything this illusion cannot speak, it cannot walk with me at night as i taste life’s fragility i am looking for a savior i can see and know and touch one who dwells within the midst of us May a broken God be known within the earth beneath our feet, let our souls behold humility let our souls behold humility when our plans become the casualties of getting through the day and we begin to know our weakness and denial isn’t strong enough to hold our fears at bay and we can’t escape our emptiness i see the sympathy of heaven in the earth and wind and trees i see hope within the morning sun i am searching for meaning i am looking for healing i am haunted by your reflection i was blinded by my addictions i am torn apart by the dying i am giving up on escaping will i learn to live without taking will i learn to see beauty in the making I can’t pretend to know the beginning from the end But there’s beauty in the life thats given we may bless or we may curse every twist and every turn will we learn to know the joy of living
