We've got our stories, but please tell me what there is to complain about?

How do you explain,
How do you describe,
A love that goes from east to west,
And runs and deep as it is wide?

You know all our hopes
Lord, you know all our fears
And words cannot express the love we feel
But we long for You to hear

So listen to our hearts (oh, Lord, please listen!)
Hear our spirits sing (and hear us sing!)
A song of praise that flows (a simple song of praise!)
From those You have redeemed (from those You have redeemed!)
We will use the words we know
To tell You what an awesome God You are
But words are not enough
To tell You of our love
So listen to our hearts

If words could fall like rain
From these lips of mine
And if I had a thousand years
I would still run out of time

So if You listen to my heart
Every beat would say,
“Thank You for the Life, thank You for the Truth, thank You for the Way.”
 



Dear Lord,
I love You dearly.
You've given me so much to praise you for.
So let me always remember this moment.

It's through Your providence that I'm able to stand in this place, facing this crowd.
It's through Your love, and Your offer of salvation, that I can stand here.

I can look the whole world in the eye and say,

"Now, I have no shame....so come on..."

"Try me...I dare you."

 "I get so distracted by some people's reactions that I don't see my own faults for what they are. At times it's so self destructive, with no intent or motive, but behind this emotion, there lies a sensible heart..."
