How Amazing

I keep trying to take advantage of the beautiful outdoors. How much we miss by sitting inside day after day and staring at computer screens! :) (haha, like I'm doing right now!) Sunday I ate my lunch sitting on the side of the Blue Ridge Parkway, taking in the beginning of fall with the yellows and reds of the colored leaves. Last night I stopped at a nearby field and got out and looked at the stars. How beautiful the night sky is, especially when there is no smog or lights to block the view!

But what kept popping in my mind was this song.

I heard this song for the first time when I lived and worked at BFA in Germany. We sang it in church, and then I loved it so much I ended up buying the CD by Danny Plett.
I tend to play this song when I need to be reminded how big and amazing my God is. Because, truly, I stand in amazement at the beauty surrounding me on earth - trees and stars, etc....but should I not be more amazed of my God? And when I realize how big He is, and how small I am....do I even trust my own words to speak to Him?


How amazing You are in Your beauty.
How awesome Your blinding light.
Do I dare trust my words to praise You?
Do I dare trust my voice to sing?

How amazing You are in Your mercy.
That You still love someone like me.
Do I dare trust my words to praise You?
Do I dare trust my voice to sing?

Holy Father,
Precious Brother,
Gentle Comforter.
Oh, Holy One,
Most Holy One.

How amazing You are in Your healing.
Through my tears I now see Your face.
Do I dare trust my words to praise You?
Do I dare trust my voice to sing?


But isn't it good to know that He is just waiting for us to talk to Him and sing to Him...no matter how feeble our praise or our words...because He loves us that much. Hooray!
