I'm the kind of person who can find peace, encouragement, and inspiration from music. If you want to know where I'm at in life, take some time to listen to the music I'm listening to because it says a lot. I had ordered Steven Curtis Chapman's new CD "Beauty will rise" several weeks ago and had been anxiously awaiting it's arrival. Wouldn't you know it came the day after I got my CT results, the very day I needed it the most. To say there were tears just doesn't tell the whole story; I felt completely broken, emotionally spent, and honestly, I felt like quitting this whole journey. The CD really spoke to me but especially a couple of the songs chorus:
"Our God is in control"
This is not how it should be/this is not how it could be/but this is how it is/and our God is in control/this is not how it will be/when we finally will see/we'll see with our own eyes/he was always in control/and we'll sing holy, holy, holy is our God/and we will finally, really understand what it means/so we'll sing holy, holy, holy is our God/while we're waiting for that day/this is not where we planned to be/when we started this journey/ but this is where we are/ and our God is in control/though this first taste is bitter/there will be sweetness forever/when we finally taste and see/ that our God is in control...
"Beauty will rise"
Out of these ashes/beauty will rise/and we will dance among the ruins/we will see it with our own eyes/out of the ashes/beauty will rise/for we know joy is coming in the morning/ in the morning/ beauty will rise/ so take another breath for now/and let the tears come washing down....I can almost feel the hand of God/reaching for my face to wipe the tears away/and say it's time to make everything new/make it all new/this is our hope/this is the promise...
