A Song to Share

      *breathes a sigh* I’m so excited to bring back one of my favorite posts, A Song to Share. I love how wholesome Christian music can give me perspective and encouragement with Christian living. Listening to praise and worship really helps me dial in on what is truly important, and that’s growing in my relationship with the Lord and seeks him in all I do. As you read this post and listen to the song, I encourage you to forget about everything else, and just focus on Him and his awesomeness! 

Broken Vessels by Hillsong Worship

Lyrics:

VERSE 1:
All these pieces
Broken and scattered
In mercy gathered
Mended and whole
Empty handed
But not forsaken
I’ve been set free
I’ve been set free

PRE-CHORUS:
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now I am found
Was blind but now I see

CHORUS:
Oh I can see You now
Oh I can see the love in Your eyes
Laying Yourself down
Raising up the broken to life

VERSE 2:
You take our failure
You take our weakness
You set Your treasure
In jars of clay

So take this heart Lord
I’ll be Your vessel
The world to see Your life in me

BRIDGE:
Take my heart
Take my soul
Take my mind and I will
Give my thoughts
Give my all
Give my life to follow You
Take my hands
Take my breath
Take my dreams and I will
Lift my eyes
Lift my faith
Lift my voice and worship You

     This song is so beautiful. It gives me chills❤️ In the first verse, the song writer is saying that we are broken and until God gives us his mercy, we won’t be able to be put back together. But the Lord takes each of our broken pieces, and glues them together to make us wholly His. 

     In this world, where so many people are still broken, we are called to be his vessels and carry His word in our hearts to share with the lost and broken.

     Christ also takes all our shortcomings, and flaws, and out failures. We can entrust him with all our worries and regrets. He puts his treasure in jars of clay(us) so that his glory can be revealed because we could never get up and put ourselves back together without him. 

2 Corinthians 4:7

“ But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”

New Beginnings

     Good morning y’all! It has been soooo long! I can’t believe I’m finally back. It feels good and I’m so excited to start blogging again! I’ve missed each and every one of you. You have been in my thoughts and prayers. 

    So how has everyone been doing? What have you been up to? Anything new? I have so many questions! We need to catch up. So everyone in the comments, tell me a little about your year, an exciting thing that’s happened, and...let’s see....your favorite dessert. I look forward to being able to start up blogging again, although I may not be able to post as often as when I first began.

     If you are new here, welcome! I started blogging around a year ago and it was very enjoyable, but unfortunately, due to some older technology, I wasn’t able to continue:( Now that I have a phone, it should go a little smoother:)Feel free to also ask me any questions in the comments! 

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
