I was working around the house yesterday, doing mundane things like cutting up cantaloupe, so I put the Ipod on random shuffle, set it on the Bose speaker dock and cranked it up. Then I breathed a prayer - "Okay, Lord, what do you want to say to me today?"
He often speaks through music. Yesterday was no different. The next song that played was this one: I've color-highlighted the lines that really exploded in my heart.
Some days your own resolve is strong and other days you bend
It's two steps forwad, one step back and a stumble now and then
You wonder if you'll ever really make the difference you've prayed that you will
Well, I know that prayer will be fulfilled 'cause
Your life woven day by day is a design of the glory God displays
On the canvas of creation through the poem of history
In the pattern of redemption running through the tapestry
Your life in Christ can be the greatest story ever told
You cannot see the hands of God or feel the grace that flows
From Him through you to those you touch in ways you'll never know
You cannot measure worth by human standards- that's always a lie
Oh, you have to see through heaven's eyes, how
Your life woven day by day is a design of the glory God displays
On the canvas of creation through the poem of history
In the pattern of redemption running through the tapestry
Your life in Christ can be the greatest story ever told
In the light of eternity standing face to face you will finally see
For the very first time you'll understand your perfect place in the master
plan, and how Your life woven day by day is a design of the glory God displays
On the canvas of creation through the poem of history
In the pattern of redemption running through the tapestry
Your life in Christ can be the greatest story ever told
I find the same thing about songs. Someday in heaven, I'll have so many songwriters to thank!
