Why haven’t I discovered Ben Rector til right now? His songs describe my life. Thank you.
dear breaking dawn soundtrack, thank you.
i’ve waited a hundred years.but i’d wait a million more for you.nothing prepared me forwhat the privilege of being yours would do.
if i had only felt the warmth within your touch,if i had only seen how you smile when you blush,or how you curl your lip when you concentrate enough,i would have known what i was living for all along.what i’ve been living for.
your love is my turning page,where only the sweetest words remain.every kiss is a cursive line,every touch is a redefining phrase.
i surrender who i’ve been for who you are,for nothing makes me stronger than your fragile heart.if i had only felt how it feels to be yours,well, i would have known what I’ve been living for all along.what i’ve been living for.
though we’re tethered to the story we must tell,when i saw you, well, i knew we’d tell it well.with a whisper, we will tame the vicious seas.like a feather bringing kingdoms to their knees.
In awe
“And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
Isaiah 40:5
ISAIAH 35:10
“And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.”
Sin and Judgement is present in God’s Word
“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
“For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not dwell with you. The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers. You destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.” Psalm 5:4-6
“Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken the Lord, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are utterly estranged.” Isaiah 1:4
BUT THERE IS HOPE
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.” Romans 3:23-25
“And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demans. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.” Colossians 2:13-14
The beauty and truth in Scripture
Nothing like a 1 AM reading of Isaiah. The Lord’s Word supplies me with so much strength, renewal, conviction, and wisdom. But it’s not for me to be blessed, but for Him to be glorified through the teaching of this Truth.
This will always be my favorite movie.
