This morning at church, we sang the song Beautiful Things.
Let me tell you that my church’s praise band always does an amazing job with this song, and today was no different.
As we sang the song, I couldn’t help but think about the victims of the recent string of tornadoes that hammered their way through the Southeast.
Being from Alabama, my heart was especially touched by the devastating losses incurred by my fellow Southerners.
Coincidentally, or not so if you believe, as I do, that God ordains everything, my church’s pastors had planned a new series of sermons titled “Wounded World.”
Oh yes…God is working, my friends.
And so, while the victims of the tornadoes are left to pick up the fragmented pieces of their lives and, in the process, mourn the loss of loved ones who died because of this natural disaster, God is still in their midst.
The God who raised His Son from the dead is working to make beautiful things from their shattered lives.
Please…listen to the following song (lyrics follow). Praise God for such times as these. He will be glorified by the drawing together of His people to help one another. My prayer is that people will, most importantly, be drawn to a closer relationship with the one and only God who displayed His ultimate power and mercy by sending His Son to die for us.
Beautiful Things
Gungor
All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
