Music touches the soul...


Lately I've been listening to lots of worship music, mainly because I'm at a point in my life where I feel myself and my life totally surrendered to God, which is how it should always be. So I've been listening to this music and a particular song that I normally sort of passed right over while singing it in church really hit me. I've never paid attention to the lyrics till now. Its called How Deep the Fathers Love For Us. It is such a beautiful song and i recommend you find it and give it a listen.

How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocing voice,
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that helf Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Americorp

I had my interview with Americorp exactly one week ago, and I have two more weeks to wait.
Waiting has never been so hard....
I want this more than anything I have ever wanted
Think about it, for 10 months you are helping others as God intended, you're seeing his beautiful creation all over the usofa, you're meeting new people who have similar thinking as you, and you're trying and seeing new things
every day!
Does that not sound like heaven to you?
Or at least a slice of it?
Our world is in pain, I want to do my part to make it just a little bit better for those less fortunate. That is what we are here to do as christians.
