A few weeks ago, I came across a band called Gungor. They had a pretty interesting concept for leading worship. In any case, I heard this song, kinda forgot about it because I didn't buy the album. But then I heard this song again last night at my school's back to school worship event.



Gungor- Beautiful Things.

All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

Honestly, I've felt crappy these last few days. Thinking back to some of the things, some of the ways where things went wrong in the past, things recent, all really piled on top and made me feel super awful inside. These things, feelings of inadequacy, failure, all of that, crept in again. Thank the Lord that HE restores. That HE makes all things beautiful.

And it's a struggle to understand this at times. But I think that fixating on the fact that maybe my failures are just too much is in actuality indicative of a heart that doesn't fully believe in the saving power of Jesus. Maybe. I need to just get over my self-righteousness.

Blah.

When I shared with a friend of mine that I had a lot of distractions, all of these things on my mind, they told me to let it go. "What other choice do you have..."

Thank YOU Jesus. That you saw me. That you saw US. Our sins. Our struggles. And yet loved so much to give it all. Help us to remember that YOU are all that is needed.
