Psalm 62:11-12

One thing God has spoken,
two things have I heard:
that you, O God, are strong,

and that you, O Lord, are loving.
Surely you will reward each person
according to what he has done.

Since coming back from Stream Franklin this last weekend, I've been playing a song over and over again on the new Hallall worship CD (At the Cross) that I bought there. It's called "Your Love is Strong." It's one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a long time... and I believe it at least partly comes from this verse in Ps 62. As much as I need to know that God loves me, I have really needed to know this week that God is STRONG. Strong in my life, in my heart - strong enough to fight for me when I can't -- and I'm SO thankful that HE IS that strong. :)

Your Love Is Strong

Heavenly Father
You always amaze me
Let your kingdom come
In my world and in my life
You give me the food I need
To live through the day
And forgive me as I forgive
The people that wronged 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 look at the meadow
And stare at the flowers
Better dressed than any girl
On her wedding day

So why do 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
Will 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

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 wicked sinners
Lead us far away from our vices
And deliver us from these prisons

Wish I had a link where I could download the song -- you can go to YouTube and listen to Jon Foreman's version of the song -- but to me it's so much more beautiful the way that Hallal does it... so I recommend going to www.cdbaby.com/cd/hallalmusic3 and buying the CD! :)
