Undo-Rush of Fools

This is the song I can't seem to play enough lately. Looking back -my life seems to follow this pattern. Some self destructive tendency to take all the good in my life and throw it away only to wake up in the slop with the realization that every good thing I had came from God my Father and I squandered it. In that moment, the last Person I want to see is the ONLY One who can help me. The only One who can undo what I've become....

I've been here before, now here I am again
Standing at the door, praying You'll let me back in
To label me a prodigal would be
Only scratching the surface of who I've been known to be

Chorus

Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, need Your help
I can't do this myself
You’re the only one who can undo
What I've become

I focused on the score, but I could never win
Trying to ignore, a life of hiding my sin
To label me a hypocrite would be
Only scratching the surface of who I've been known to be

Chorus

Make every step lead me back to
The sovereign way that You

Chorus

My Favorite Sound in the Whole World....



Maybe its because I am 10 weeks out from being a Daddy but this little clip makes me feel like I am 10 weeks away from witnessing the most incredible miracle of my life. Next to my Jesus and Kim...I can't think of anyone else who I have been so excited to meet than this little guy who I can feel but not yet see. There is something about the laughter of children that rings true and good in a world broken by sin and evil. Adulthood is sooooooo overated! I think it was G.K Chesterton who once said, "We have grown old and our God is younger than we..." So laugh a little and enjoy the healing that it can bring.

If you have EVER spoken in public, especially from the pulpit to a group of people who are there to hear a word from God...you can appreciate this. I am glad that most of my sermons were never videotaped and have to remind myself daily that if God could speak through the mouth of a donkey than I might just have a chance of speaking truth into someones life this week. Enjoy!
