For All You Are

A song that has come to be deeply meaningful to me is "For All You Are" by Casting Crowns.  It is a beautiful picture of surrender to God.  With this summer's events (which I will detail in a later blog post), I have realized again that I am really not in control of anything.  It has been a hard time of letting go of me and holding onto God.  I don't always understand the why of this, but I trust that God only wants good for me and that beauty will come out of this time of pain.  Here are the lyrics:

When I'm standing at the end of me
In the rubble of my broken dreams
And the wells I've dug aren't filling me
And the world I've made's not what it seems to be

My life, Your grace
Here I exchange

All of me for all You are
I lay at Your feet my broken heart
And I'll find my healing in Your scars
All of me for all You are

You're the anchor in a raging sea
In the center of the storm You are my peace
You're the dreamer of my destiny
And all You have begun You will complete

Your life, my gain
Here I exchange

All of me for all You are
I lay at Your feet my broken heart
And I'll find my healing in Your scars
All of me for all You are.

Take a listen to the song.  It is a lovely reminder of God's sovereignty and His love for us.
