The other day, mum mentioned a hymn she used to sing when she was younger, and it really has stuck in my head. I do believe so many hymns have a lot of power behind them, and amazing lyrics. I think sometimes they can just be passed off as being 'religious' instead of 'spiritual' and we then just close our hearts to it thinking it's too 'in the box' I'm guilty of doing that for sure! But the lyrics to this song are great. Listening to it does make me chuckle because it's so old school, but heck i totally think we could jazz it up or something, those lyrics are pretty gold. And i think they'd speak to a lot of people.
'something beautiful, something good,
all my confusion, he understood
all i had to offer him,
was brokeness and strife
but he made something
beautiful of my life
If there ever were dreams
That were lofty and noble
They were my dreams at the start
And hope for life's best were the hopes
That I harbor down deep in my heart
But my dreams turned to ashes
And my castles all crumbled, my fortune turned to loss
So I wrapped it all in the rags of life
And laid it at the cross.'
Just knowing someone understands us means an awful lot. He will turn our messy life into something beautiful. And the fact that we have that amazing hope that is living inside of us. That is our reality! Now that is something beautiful...
