"...These are signs in my mind that point to a good God..."



"You’re the music in these streams
You’re the movement in these springs
You’re the muse that haunts these dreams
You sing like a school yard

You’re the meadow in my room
You’re the flower yet to bloom
In your eyes I see things new
They’re shining like lost stars

Sweetheart, sweetheart
I pray you never forget who you are
Joy is your birthmark
Yeah, joy is your birthmark

May your eyes always burn bright
And your footsteps grazed with light
When the shadows fall tonight
Pray you still hear the songbirds

May your laughter keep you warm
And your smile hold its form
You’re a flower in these storms
May the rains make you stronger

Sweetheart, sweetheart
I pray you never forget who you are
Joy is your birthmark
Yeah, joy is your birthmark

Cause I see your smiling face
Even in these dying days
I believe in grace redeeming the lost cause
Cause I’ve seen it in your eyes
We are miracles come to life
These are signs in my mind that point to a good God

Sweetheart, sweetheart
You’re stronger than you think you are
Yeah, you’re stronger than you think you are
Joy is your birthmark
Yeah joy is your birthmark"

Why should I worry?



"Heavenly Father, you always amaze me
Let your kingdom come in my world and in my life
Give me the food I need to live through today
And forgive me as I forgive the people that wrong me
Lead me far from temptation
Deliver me from the evil one

I look out the window the birds are composing
Not a note is out of tune or out of place
I walk to the meadow and stare at the flowers
Better dressed than any girl on her wedding day

So why should I worry?
Why do I freak out?
God knows what I need
You know what I need

Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong

The kingdom of the heavens is now advancing
Invade my heart, invade this broken town
The kingdom of the Heavens is buried treasure
Would you sell yourself to buy the one you've found?

Two things you told me
That you are strong
And you love me
Yes, you love me

Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong

Our God in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Above all names
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us today our daily bread
Forgive us weary sinners
Keep us far away from our vices
And deliver us from these prisons"

A Hymn for the Missing

  
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have possibly ever heard.
I mean I can't be sure... because that is such a huge statement to make.
But considering the message of the lyrics, it is just so... alright, well I'm at a loss for words, here.
It's so beautiful that I want to cry, but... I actually can't haha.

This song is for the ones who have been lost, the ones who were taken, the ones who went missing.

My prayers tonight are for these ones, and the people who love them.
The Lord is watching them still; He knows where the lost ones are.
