"you deserve to be blessed."

not that I wouldn't like to be blessed, no.
but that God is already the greatest blessing...

I would be content to live out my days with only that hope,
already I have grace,
I have peace,
I have the love of the creator of the universe.

what more blessing do I need?
it's enough.
you're enough.

you are my crown.

you are my glory.

no matter what my loss, I still have you.
and you are more than enough.

oh my God, you are my God,
you are my own,
and I will praise you forever!

I was dragged down my men,
I was ridiculed in their thoughts.

I compared myself constantly.

I felt undesirable and tried to
make myself perfect for their eyes to see.

still I am not perfect.

yet you placed in my life someone
who sees me as you do!

I was blown away,
I stand dumbfounded.

you see straight to the heart of me!
you love me to the very core.

from secondhand loser
to stunning princess.

through you I know who I am.

cold wind.
shining stars.
everything is magnified.
the moon is out.
it's looming now..

adrenaline.
the pavement calls me.
only a second.
I rest my head where only the tires should tread.

I feel the danger!
oh thank you!
oh glorious night!
all I see is your light!

you show through the smiles of my dearest friends.
your joy is personified in incessant laughter.

gone is the doldrum gray.
gone is the excess in my soul.
feeling is all that I am.

find rest, oh my soul!
the joy doesn't have to go!
you never have to go back to the old!

it's an adventure from here.
live in every moment!
don't shy from showing it!
it's all that matters.

thank you for the breath I have.
thank you for the life you give.
thank you for tears I've wept.
only you have made me new.
you cast the rotten parts of me into an infinite fire,
and they will never return.

thanks for always being there.
through you I know who I am.
thank you for the darkness.
only then can I know light.

everything I was is fading.
I'm more than an empty shell, now.
you breathe, and the air ignites around me.
you are love. and you are mine forever.

your love changes everything.
your power sets my mind spinning.
your joy makes my heart swell til it almost bursts.
your peace is a steady flame that overcomes when I feel dead and cold.
it makes the ice in me melt into pure water
that quenches my dusty, cracking soul.

you'll never leave.
you conquered death.
your wind swirls around me.
your stars laugh so far away.
the moon is beaming with steady light.
the clouds and colors sing out in unheard harmonies.
I'm consumed by you.
I love you.

to say you're indescribable seems too easy.
my words aren't worthy of your time.
you are so...
you are...
you are.
you.
