a million stars

Surrounded by your beauty
Memories fade
Fragments gleam and captivate
Jagged pieces all reflect Your face
This pile of broken dreams
Will shout Your praise

And like a million stars
I'm still searching for my place to shine
I'm burning in the sky for You
Chasing colors through the night
We'll find our way to a sunrise
Where the sky is new
Let me rest in You

And like a million scars
Trace their marks to form the outline
Of a love that burns inside for you
Gather stones before the light
Carries them far with the morning tide
And you can't see through
Then I'll look to You

only Jesus

God I'm so messed up. Why would you ever save someone like me??? Surely someone else could do a better job serving you, why would you choose me? Maybe you want for me and others to see that its not my power but Yours!! This is all for Your glory, not mine, and my weakness shows just how AMAZING your grace is!! God I'm so weak, I can't do any of this on my own. I need you every step of the way. You didn't choose me because of special things you foresaw I would have to offer. You chose me because you love me, and it's the greatest mystery in the world, how you could love me, me who has nothing to bring. That's what we have to share with people. Only Jesus!
