God has been doing such amazing things in my life just within these past two days. I've been asking for grace for each day, laying aside my fears of the future, and placing my trust in the Lord one day at a time. He has extended His almighty hand of grace and given me more than I've asked for. The Lord has left me in such a state of awe - there is so much HOPE not only to battle and conquer sins but also to fall more in love with my Savior, leaving behind the futile worries of this world and laying at the foot of the cross.
There are two songs that I've been spending a rather large amount of time singing to my Savior during my quiet times. I hope these words are encouraging to all of you!
Oh the Deep, Deep Love
Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus
Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free
Rolling as a mighty ocean
In its fullness over me
Underneath me, all around me
Is the current of Your love
Leading onward, leading homeward
To Your glorious rest above
Oh the deep, deep love
All I need and trust
Is the deep, deep love of Jesus
Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus
Spread His praise from shore to shore
How He came to pay our ransom
Through the saving cross He bore
How He watches o’er His loved ones
Those He died to make His own
How for them He’s interceding
Pleading now before the throne
Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus
Far surpassing all the rest
It’s an ocean full of blessing
In the midst of every test
Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus
Mighty Savior, precious Friend
You will bring us home to glory
Where Your love will never end
Lost in Wonder
You chose the cross with every breath
The perfect life, The perfect death
You chose the cross
Crown of thorns you wore for us
And crowned us with eternal life
You chose the cross
And though your soul was overwhelmed with pain
Obedient to death You overcame
CHORUS:
I'm Lost in wonder
I'm lost in love
I'm lost in praise forevermore
Because of Jesus' unfailing love
I am forgiven
I am restored
You loosed the chords of sinfulness
And broke the chains of my disgrace
You chose the cross
Up from the grave victorious
You rose again so glorious
You chose the cross
The sorrow that surrounded you was mine
"Yet not my will but yours be done" You cried
