Beautiful Things

I heard a song a few months back when we sang it in church before a sermon on forgiveness - an amazing story was told that day that stuck with me.

The song has stuck with me. It is the first words to the book I am writing. It has captured me this year and become the anthem. This doesn't happen often just a few times. The last a few years ago with Blessed Be Your Name.

This year it is the song Beautiful Things by Gungor. I am not sure I can even explain what this song means to me but it touches me deep in my soul.





Here are the lyrics.

All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new
You are making me new

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new
