This song has been stuck in my head for the past week. Click on the link to watch the youtube video. I've included the lyrics b/c I know that these are things I have to be constantly reminded of. Recently, the only thing that has been on my mind is, "what is next? Will I get a visa? Will I stay? What am I going to to next year?" These thoughts grip my mind throughout the day. I believe that God has placed this song in my mind to reassure me that "He is strong." My favorite part is "Why do I worry, why do I freak out...God knows what I need, You know what I need" It's so true. I don't know why I have these thoughts of fear/anxiety/uncertainty stuck in my head when God knows exactly what I need. He knows the plans he has for me. Jer. 29:11 Daily, I'm giving myself back to Him and laying down all the uncertainties at His feet knowing that He is strong enough to take them all away.
"Your Love Is Strong"
Jon Foreman
Heavenly Father
You always amaze me
Let your kingdom come
In my world and in my life
You give me the food I need
To live through the day
And forgive me as I forgive
The people that wronged me
Lead me far from temptation
Deliver me from the evil one
I look out the window
The birds are composing
Not a note is out of tune
Or out of place
I look at the meadow
And stare at the flowers
Better dressed than any girl
On her wedding day
So why do I worry?
Why do I freak out?
God knows what I need
You know what I need
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
The kingdom of the heavens
Is now advancing
Invade my heart
Invade this broken town
The kingdom of the heavens
Is buried treasure
Will you sell yourself
To buy the one you've found?
Two things you told me
That you are strong
And you love me
Yes, you love me
