A real update!!!
So God's just amazing. He really is. Every single day I just take in a breath and wow. The best thing in the world is knowing that you're breathing God in.
I just finished my ten page Shakespeare paper. It is possibly the worst paper I have EVER written.
Okay. Is it-- According to Josh Pepsco, "the day is great." (Smith 878)
According to Josh Pepsco, "the day is great.(Smith 898)"
According to Josh Pepsco, "the day is great" (Smieth 898).
How in the world do I do this??? I used to know but I don't anymore. This paper is going to suck.
Back to God...
When I was in high school I listened to "Worlds Apart" by JOC over and over and over again. I just listened to it the other day for the first time in years. And wow. I remember why it got to me like it did.
Jars of Clay
Worlds Apart
I am the only one to blame for this
Somehow it all adds up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
I flew too high and like Icarus I collide
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love
to give and die
To turn away and not become
Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves
more deeply than the oceans,
more abundant than the tear
Of a world embracing every heartache
Can I be the one to sacrifice
Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow
To love you - take my world apart
To need you - I am on my knees
To love you - take my world apart
To need you - broken on my knees
All said and done I stand alone
Amongst remains of a life I should not own
It takes all I am to believe
In the mercy that covers me
Did you really have to die for me?
All I am for all you are
Because what I need and what I believe are worlds apart
[Additional lyrics:]
I look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
and wipe away the crimson stains
and dull the nails that still remain
More and more I need you now,
I owe you more each passing hour
the battle between grace and pride
I gave up not so long ago
So steal my heart and take the pain
and wash the feet and cleanse my pride
take the selfish, take the weak,
and all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
the sin-soaked heart and make it yours
take my world all apart
take it now, take it now
and serve the ones that I despise
speak the words I can't deny
watch the world I used to love
fall to dust and thrown away
I look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
so wipe away the crimson stains
and dull the nails that still remain
so steal my heart and take the pain
take the selfish, take the weak
and all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
take my world apart, take my world apart
I pray, I pray, I pray
take my world apart
Dang. God is the bomb diggity. It blows my mind that I ever lived for anything but Christ.
Lord, make me invisible so that all people can see when they look at me is more and more of you. Amen.
