Grace for Me - Gungor

This jar of clay and all its weakness;
Somehow inside dwells Your fullness.
Even though I’m not yet flawless,
You are forming me.

Everything that I desire really may not meet my needs.
Help me to seek first Your kingdom.
You’ll provide for me.

Valleys come and tears aren’t dry yet and there are things I don’t yet see.
But I’ll rejoice despite of hardship; You’ll watch over me.

Jars of Clay - Redemption

We were looking out past the road we came from
Looking at redemption
It was hidden in the landscape
Of loss and love and fire and rain
Never would have come this way
Looking for redemption

One of my all-time favorites.  Need this reminder after a long, discouraging Monday.

Abandon Kansas - Learn (Ad Astra per Aspera)

We all sit down spreading our questions on the ground
Under a canopy of entropy weʼre all guilty
Of the innocent breath, we drown in our mess
The stories that we spin can never hide the laggard within

Cause what I say (and how I play) are different things

Can anyone learn from me?
Can anyone learn from me?

Oh God I knew you somewhere before I left things undone
Thereʼs so much to do before I go
Help me control the river of my soul

Cause what I say (and how I play) are different things
Cause what I say (and how I play) are different things

Can anyone learn from me?
Can anyone learn from me?
Can anyone learn from me?
Can anyone learn from me?

Hear me when I pray,
I could never think to lead a child astray
Iʼll follow You so they can follow me
Listen closer

Can anyone learn from me?
Can anyone learn from me?
Can anyone learn from me?

Daniel Bashta - Potter’s Wheel

so place me on the potter’s wheel
spin me until
there’s nothing left but You in my life
cause brokenness is what I want
so do a work in my heart
so when You look at me
You see Your reflection

a good one to start the day

Nathan Chud - Validation

Make me whole
I want to breathe from the depths of my soul
To close my eyes and know
That I can’t make myself grow
Make me new
I lift my head up to the sky
And let Your wonder overtake my why
I will wait for You

When there’s no sense in anything
When my heart is absent from my dreams
You’re all that makes me true
I live above and below in resistance
Your love alone validates my existence
I will wait for You

Josh Garrels - Farther Along

Tempted and tried, I wondered why
The good man died, the bad man thrives
And Jesus cries because he loves ‘em both
We’re all cast-aways in need of rope
Hangin’ on by the last threads of our hope
In a house of mirrors full of smoke
Confusing illusions I’ve seen

Farther along we’ll know all about it
Farther along we’ll understand why
So, cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine
We’ll understand this, all by and by
