And there it is, over and over: His Light and Love woven into the depths of our frail and fallen humanity, for Love. For us. In a tapestry of grace.
As you come to lay it all before Jesus, may it be that He meets you on your knees and opens your eyes to see that He's been there all along and He truly will work all things for good – His beauty for our ashes. Hallelujah!

walking on waves: recorded raw and live in an upper room (on a phone), this record contains some of the most precious things Jesus has graciously given me, in moments with Him. They are, to me, perfume poured out on the feet of Jesus and a mere widow's mite – for that which He has given, belongs always to Him. Glory to Him alone.
lyrics:
[Verse 1]
You are close when I’m far off
You are the light when storms are raging
A mighty fortress for the weak
Yours is the voice that calms the sea
[Chorus]
So, I’ll let go; let Your glory flow
Interwoven in this place —
oh, the thread of Your grace
So deep within resides:
the beauty of Your sacrifice
For You so loved,
that You gave Your life
[Verse 2]
Yours is the love that makes me brave
When all my fears overwhelm me
You breathe life into the dust
Your living Word here to revive me
[Chorus]
Spirit fall.
Fill this place.
Have your way in Your mercy and Your grace
Have it all.
Your will be done.
Oh, let heaven come to earth;
Your Kingdom come
[Tag]
And I fall at Your feet (x3)
I surrender
