He pursues me...

We will shine like stars in the universe
Holding out your truth in the darkest place
We'll be living for your glory
Jesus, we'll be living for your glory

We will burn so bright with your praise, Oh God
And declare your light to this broken world
We'll be living for your glory
Jesus, we'll be living for your glory

Grasshopper has said countless times how much of a Japan song this is, and tonight I've sat myself down and for the last three hours I've been typing up worship songs onto a power point and listening to them as I go, multiple times. The words have been penetrating and stirring to my soul. I keep trying to stop, but each song is a reminder of God's love and mercy for us, and a plea to return the love to Him. I will be the first to admit how hard it is to be in love with Jesus. I ask myself, how can such a beautiful majestic being be so eager to love me, so quick to embrace me with all my broken parts, how can he be so persistent in his pursuit of me, how can He love me?

Now I've found the Greatest Love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life- the greatest sacrifice...
So here I stand, knowing that I'M YOUR DESIRE

I am broken. Shattered. Rusted. Useless. Every thinkable flaw is mine. Yet He loves me and lets me share in His beauty.

Forgiven so that I can Forgive
_m.r._

MAJESTY, MAJESTY
YOUR GRACE HAS FOUND ME JUST AS I AM
EMPTY HANDED
BUT ALIVE IN YOUR HANDS

MAJESTY, MAJESTY
FOREVER I AM CHANGED BY YOUR LOVE
IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR MAJESTY
