Trust/faith.

Life is (like) a roller coaster.

Maybe God is waiting for us (me) to take my hands off the safety bar, lift up our (my) hands, and enjoy the ride. Maybe He's waiting for us to really believe that that no matter what ups and downs, twists and turns we go through, the safety bars will keep us tight in our seat.

And even though it's scary sometimes, we'll be alright.

God, help me trust in You.

He Is Lord.

Over the summer I got the new Hillsongs album "This is Our God".

I didn't really listen to much of the stuff on it, but recently I have been listening a little more. One song that really, really hit home for me was "He Is Lord".

Here's the video:



I can't quite explain why, but it most certainly gave me shivers and almost brought tears to my eyes. But I think there is extreme power in the last lines that are declared: "Arise, For the King of Glory waits, He is coming back again! HE IS COMING BACK AGAIN!!"

That is just... awesome. I feel so empowered just from listening to this song. So listen. That's all. Just listen. Wanted to share this, because I think God really ministered to me through it and reminded me of the ridiculous power that is wrapped up in the Gospel and in the name of Jesus Christ.

Wasn't going to, but here are the lyrics:

Verse1:
Oh blessed Lamb once slain
Will reign forevermore
His hands once bound now save
Our God will never fail

Chorus:
He is Lord
He is Lord
Sings my soul
He is the Lord
And He lives
Yes He lives
I'm alive, 'cause Jesus lives

Verse2:
'Tis as the cross of Christ
Where earth and heaven meet
Where sin is overcome
To God the victory

Chorus:
He is Lord
He is Lord
Sings my soul
He is the Lord
And He lives
Yes He lives
I'm alive, 'cause Jesus lives

Bridge:
And now
Let the earth resound with praise
For our savior God, He reigns
He is high and lifted up

Arise
For the King of Glory waits
He is coming back again
He is coming back again
