so good, so so good to me.

God is gracious. God is faithful. This week has been full of joy and peace. I am so thankful to say I have experienced salvation and the love of a forgiving, awesome God. Jesus fills my heart up. 


"I waited patiently upon the Lord and He inclined and heard my cry.
He pulled me out of the miry clay. He set my feet upon a rock.

He gave me beauty for ashes, and joy for my mourning, and praise for heaviness
He put a new song in my mouth and a crown upon my head.
He gave me life forevermore.


He's been so good, so so good to me. So good, so so good to me. So good, so so good to me.
Jesus. He's been so good, so so good to me.


Cause He picked me up and He turned me around and He placed my feet on the solid ground.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah


I've got love, joy, peace, and righteousness in the Holy Spirit. woah-oh-oh-oh. yeah.


He's been so good, so so good to me. So good, so so good to me. So good, so so good to me.
Jesus. He's been so good, so so good to me."

 Jesus has been so good, so so good to me.

Jesus is so good, so so good to me.

Jesus will be so good, so so good to me.

my King makes me smile. He gives me love. He gives me joy. He gives me peace. He teaches me to be righteous. I'm so ever thankful for this lovely Creator. this lovely Savior. He is incredible. i am desperate for Him. He is holy. He is worthy. He loves me. He loves me. Oh, how He loves me. I love His goodness. I love His righteousness. I love His peace. I love His joy. I love His love. I love Him.

oh, how i love you, Jesus. thank You for never leaving me. thank You for your love. thank You for being who You are. thank You for being so good, so so good to me. i hold my heart out to You. i love You. i love You. i love You.

worship is more than a song.

"you can sing all you want to and still get it wrong. oh, worship is more than a song."

These lyrics have been on my heart alot the past few weeks. I have cried over them. I've been stung by them. I've smiled over them. but, mostly, I've just been humbled by them.

Worship is a beautiful thing to me. It's meant to be sincere, & far too often, it's not. Far too often, I catch myself just singing a song in a crowded room, calling it worship. i get carried away with the decorations & i forget we can worship anywhere. i forget worship is more than a song. i forget worship is supposed to be a life-style. i forget worship is praising Jesus & giving God all the glory.

"The Lord says: 'These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men."  -Isaiah 29:13

I do not want God to say this of me. I want His worship from my mouth to be sincere. to be real.  I want His worship from my life to bring Him glory, honor, and fame. I want the life I live to reflect Jesus' love & mercy & grace. the love & mercy & grace He daily shows me. I desire for my heart to be close to God.

today has been a good day of worship for my heart. it's been a good day for this divine romance, and I desire for my worship to be so much more than a song.

change me by your beauty, Lord.  teach me to love like you. fill my heart with you. remind me that worship is more than a song.
