i LOVE this song....

A refuge for the poor, a shelter from the storm

This is our God

He will wipe away your tears and return your wasted years

This is our God

So call upon His name

He is mighty to save

This is our God

A father to the orphan, a healer to the broken

This is our God

And he brings peace to our madness and comfort in our sadness

This is our God

So call upon His name

He is mighty to save

This is our God

This is the one we have waited for...
This is the one we have waited for...
This is the one we have waited for...

Jesus Lord and Savior

AHHH it's just so amazing. HE is the one we have waited for.
When we are so broken and sad and wanting to be filled, He is the one that fills.
When we are struggling with the trials of life,
He is the one who helps us through.
When we want that peace that passes all understanding, HE is the one who gives it abundantly and restores us to our fullest potential to reach the world.
Jars of Clay sings a song like this one that says:

We hope and wait, for the glorious day
All tears will vanish, wiped away
On the saints this day already shines, it already shines

And we'll be singing Halleluia
We'll be singing Halleluia
At the top of our lungs
Halleulia to your glory Halleluia

And I know that it's coming
But I can't see it now
And I'm touched in a moment
But I can't hold it yet
And it glows in the darkness
And it calls us away
To our true destination
To that glorious day

AHHH, it just pumps me up so much. God is so amazing and I'm so excited to spend eternity in heaven with Him. It also pumps me up to share the gospel too. The gospel is the greatest message that you can ever give someone and so many times I neglect to tell others about it because I forget how important it is, but yesterday in church I was reminded of how awesome it is that Jesus died and rose again. So many people need HIM and I need to see that. My prayer is that God softens my heart to those who do not know Him and that I would fight against the complacency that Satan tries to place in my heart.
