Beautiful Things

Yesterday in church, we sang the song "Beautiful Things" by Gungor. It's certainly one of my favorite songs that in found in contemporary worship circles.  

Anyway, as we were singing, I looked over and saw Taylor standing up and singing along. As you all remember from when we would all sit together, Taylor is usually sitting down with a pencil in hand drawing some little masterpiece on a 3 x 5 white notecard.  But yesterday, he was singing. 

It was beautiful for me to witness....all the while praying that the Spirit would help the truth of these words to sink into his heart.  I am praying that as Anna and Taylor one day look back at this season of our lives that they would be able to point to this time and say, "God made beautiful things come out of that difficult time for my dad and for our family...." 

And as I am typing, I am praying the same for you all as I know that you have your share of rough patches that you all are having to navigate each day with work, with day to day living, with the boys, and with each other... 

with hope...

Beautiful Things 

All this pain

I wonder if I’ll ever 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
