Fount of Wisdom

:: a man is not happy if he does not have what he loves; or if he has what he loves and it is hurtful; or if he does not love what he has, even though it is perfectly good. the happy life is 'when that which is man's chief good is both loved and possessed' :: Augustine




Look, Brook, look!!! Remember all our efforts to try and find a simple photo booth, and we constantly failed? Well, James and I found one at Boondocks in Draper! It wasn't broken or anything. So when you guys come back to visit, we need to go to Boondocks and use it!

(Abi and I tried the one at Hollywood Connection last year- it wouldn't take our money.)

My Heart ::will praise Him ::

Til I See You

The greatest love that anyone could ever know
That overcame the cross and grave to find my soul
And 'til I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in You

With all I am I'll live to see Your kingdom come
And in my heart I pray You'd let Your will be done
And 'til I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in You

I will live to love You
I will live to bring You praise
I will live a child in awe of You

You are the voice that calls the universe to be
You are the whisper in my heart that speaks to me
And 'til I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in you

You alone are God of all
You alone are worthy Lord
And with all I am my soul will bless Your name

I know I keep posting song lyrics and nothing else. There's not a lot more I could say right now......the songs capture my heart pretty well and they're all pretty much my daily anthems at this point. If I try to say more, it will most likely end in self-pity, and be pretty similar to where I've been before. So I'll let you enjoy the lyrical poetry that others have shared, and not my sorrows centered in a small, small world.

:: Praise God from Whom All Blessings flow! ::

The Stand

"The Stand"

You stood before creation
Eternity in your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand

You stood before my failure
And carried the cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon your shoulders
My soul now to stand

So what could I say?
And what could I do?
But offer this heart, Oh God
Completely to you

So I'll walk upon salvation
Your spirit alive in me
This life to declare your promise
My soul now to stand

So what could I say?
And what could I do?
But offer this heart, Oh God
Completely to you

I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the one who gave it all
I'll stand
My soul Lord to you surrendered
All I am is yours

And this song. By Hillsong United. Sooo good!

Mighty To Save

Everyone needs compassion
A love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me

Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Savior
The hope of nations

Savior He can move the mountains
My God is Mighty to save
He is Mighty to save

Forever Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
And fill my life again

I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender I surrender

Savior He can move the mountains
My God is Mighty to save
He is Mighty to save
Forever Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave (x2)

Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus (x2)

Savior He can move the mountains
My God is Mighty to save
He is Mighty to save
Forever Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave (x2)

Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus (x4)
(Mighty to Save, Hillsong United)

I love this song
