Something Beautiful

This week has been a hard week. A friend passed from cancer. She was a young mom. She left behind a 5 year old son and a crushed husband. The question Why begs to be answered. Today we are going to a wedding where just yesterday the bride lost her father to cancer. Again the question why begs to be answered.

I don't have the answers. But it is hard walking with people through difficult times. I praise God that I can rest in his goodness.

I posted this song because it reminds me of the Psalms, a man's cry out to God. 

 

Something Beautiful

Needtobreathe

In your ocean, I'm ankle deep

I feel the waves crashin' on my feet

It's like I know where I need to be

But I can't figure out, yeah I can't figure out

Just how much air I will need to breathe

When your tide rushes over me

There's only one way to figure out

Will you let me drown, will you let me drown?

Hey now, this is my desire

Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful

To touch me, I know that I'm in reach

'Cause I am down on my knees.

I'm waiting for something beautiful

Oh, something beautiful

And the water is rising quick

And for years I was scared of it

We can't be sure when it will subside

So I won't leave your side, no I can't leave your side.

Hey now, this is my desire

Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful

To touch me, I know that I'm in reach

'Cause I am down on my knees.

I'm waiting for something beautiful

Oh, something beautiful

In a daydream, I couldn't live like this.

I wouldn't stop until I found something beautiful.

When I wake up, I know I will have

No, I still won't have what I need.

Something Beautiful

Hey now this is my desire

Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful

To touch me, I know that I'm in reach

Cause I am down on my knees

I'm waiting for something beautiful

Oh, something beautiful

Oh on a kind of funny note, my husband in trying to comfort me stated, "Honey, just think you have like 40 more years of this."   What a comforting thought! Though it is hard, I praise God that he allows us to join in his work. Please pray that we continue to be faithful and encouraged.
