Beyond Our Understanding

God’s ways are beyond our understanding, 
His rule just, His judgments perfect, His justice prevailing. 
When we acknowledge His sovereignty over our lives, 
Joy and hope flood our hearts, even in challenging times.

The Lord’s control is our confidence, 
In His hands, we find unwavering providence. 
Obstacles crumble before His might, 
For we stand on the winning side, bathed in His light.

Encountering God’s presence, we bow in reverence, 
His holiness demanding our awe, our soul’s deliverance. 
Eternal significance transcends the temporal, 
In His embrace, we find purpose, love, and the eternal.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
