Short and sweet...with more to come

Yes, this will be short, because it's late. But I wanted to write and say how awesome my God is. In every minute of every day, I see His hand and see His power so much. He is amazing. Today, my eyes were truly fixed on Him and His creation. So many things came into my mind about Him. He is such an awesome God...truly awesome. I was listening to a CD the other day on my way to Barnes and Noble. This song came on and I was literally in tears as I was driving. The words really speak to me about Christ's death on the cross. Here are the lyrics. Read them, and hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to update more. Goodnight all!

How wide is Your love
That You would stretch Your arms
And go around the world
And why for me would a Savior's cry be heard

I don't know
Why You went where I was meant to go
I don't know
Why You love me so

Those were my nails
That was my crown
That pierced Your hands and Your brow
Those were my thorns
Those were my scorns
Those were my tears that fell down
And just as You said it would be
You did it all for me
After You counted the cost
You took my shame, my blame
On my cross

How deep is Your grace
That you could see my need
And chose to take my place
And then for me, these words I'd hear You say

Father no
Forgive them for they know not what they do
I will go
Because I love them so
