Honesty

Tonight I don't want to be pretty, I just want to be real and honest. In fact, that's how I always want to be. I don't know how, but I believe this lie and try to fix things, when I am still broken. Yes, tonight I am broken. I hate hiding it. I don't want to hide it anymore. There is hurt inside. There are fears and doubts and it's about time to let them out. My history and past are coming together, looking right at me. I look at what I did, what I accomplished and what I didn't accomplished, but wish I had. I look at where I am at, and where I want to be. Hm. Good question. Where do I want to be? Where is God really leading me to? Am I heading in the right direction? Why is it that I feel confused many times? Or, at least, I feel scared. Maybe that is a better word. I am scared. Scared to know what's inside of me. Scared to let the real me come out. And it's not that I don't. But see? Now I am doing it again. It's like a game. I pretend to be someone else. Someone perfect. And I feel so lost. I even feel lonely.
God, my prayer tonight is that you would come. I want to let the Holy Spirit work in me. I need you tonight, dad... I just need YOU.

A New Song: The Beauty of the Lord

A New Song: The Beauty of the Lord

The Beauty of the Lord

The Lord is beautiful
His creation tell about His beauty
The color of the Heavens are like a big smile
The clouds are the dimples

Have you seen a rainbow?
Have you ever admire a sunset?
Did you enjoy getting wet with the sweet Spring rain?
If you have, then you have tasted some of His beauty

From the shapes of the trees
To the colors of the flowers
The silence of the wet dew
And the strong sound of a thunder

Everything in creation proclaims that God reigns
No wonder why He has said taste and see
The laws of physics were already known by Him
He is the Creator, it is all perfect, even the unseen

Who tells the birds where to migrate?
Who is the One that helps the penguins chose their mates?
The males dance to win their penguin's love
And females then get to decide

But how do they communicate?
Who gave them instincts to understand?
And tell me, who has given humans the power of speech?
and who was the One that set a distinct tone of voice for each?

Don't you understand? Can't you see?
It was the Lord who made the sea
From ancient times He designed our future
From His own imagination He shaped our minds

The vast galaxy and the planets
The milky way and the shooting stars
God has made it all but His delight
still ,amazingly, remains on us...

If I were to continue attempting to describe
His beauty and radiance, His greatness, His love
I know I would never be able to end
Because the end of my description would just be the beginning of His beauty

So may you find in the name of JESUS
Your delight, your shade, your smile
Because there is no other name nor place
Where you'll find extreme love to the point of death

Oh, He loves you so!
If you could only comprehend
Creation exists to tell His beauty
Creation also exists to speak of His love for you

God, today I wanna give you all
With no reservations I choose to trust
Thank you for creation, you made it with your hands
You're beautiful, even the colors of your eyes are...

Through these words I love you
Through these words I shout
There is NO OTHER GOD, you're the ONLY ONE
May everyone exalt you. You're worthy Dad

God, you're beautiful...
