the glorious unseen- the hope that lies in you

We can hear the sound of all creation sing -
a song to heal
the earth, a song to spark a dream.
Where are
you optimists? We need your strength in this.There’s a stirring in your soul that cannot be controlled.
This is
the hope that lies in you.

We can hear
the sound of all the earth rejoice,
with angels all around - lifting up
their voice.
Where are
you hopeful ones? Have we come undone?There’s a stirring in your soul that cannot be controlled.
This is
the hope that lies in you. This is the hope that lies in you.

And through all
the questioning, You’ve been the hope in me.
Despite uncertainty,
You’ve been the only constant thing.
And when I’m struggling,
You keep on loving me the same.
This is
the hope that lies in You.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
This is
the hope that lies in You.Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Come down - we need
Your hope to come down.
We need
Your grace to pour out. We need Your love to shine down.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Come down - we need
Your hope to come down.
We need
Your grace to pour out.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Come down - we need
Your hope to come down.
We need
Your grace to pour out. We need the face of God now.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

"Worse." "Than." "Hitler." "That's bad news bears, my friend. I hope your magic shirts are keeping you warm." "Because we're celebrating Christmas time, leave your shoes out at half past nine. Leave them out until half past ten. Santa should have been by then. (i know what you're thinking, 'why is sarah in bible college when she is so gifted in the literary technique of rhyming?)" "You make me feel. You make me feel. You make me feel like a natural woman." "Should be fun on a bun!" "And stay off the circle line. It is an instrument of the devil." "I'd love a bottle of fruit loops right about now." "I've never seen a movie that...

Expectancy

We have the following Bible verses written on a chalkboard above our kitchen sink: Because of God's tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness & in the shadow of death, & to guide us to the path of peace. Luke 1:78-78 NLT I chose to write out these verses for a few reasons. First of all, I like the picture it illustrates of God's mercy & how ultimately his mercy & light lead us to peace. Second, these verses speak of hope to me. They say that even in darkness & death there is hope! And last, it reminds me to live every day with expectancy. It says that heaven "is about" to break upon us; it's almost foreshadowing God's faithfulness. I've been thinking about this third point a lot lately. Expectancy. What does it mean?
