Day 96..Thankful for Beautiful Things

If you know me, you know how much music is important to me. I absolutely love to sing, it is good for my soul, heals and soothes my soul.  There is something about singing to God, about God, and for God that can bring so much peace.  We have been singing this awesome song at church called Beautiful Things - The lyrics are so profound:

"Beautiful Things" by Gungor

All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

The chorus

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

This brings me so much peace, hope, and a sense of belonging that I can't describe.  This song is one of those where I could just cry during it because of just how much power is in this song.  Have you ever felt that way about a song? Especially when you are surrounded by your church family?, it can't be explained really until you expererience yourself.  

I am so thankful that God can make beautiful things out of me, my dirt filled heart and mind, He can still make beautiful things despite all of my sin.  I am thankful that we have a God who always sees the beauty in us, I pray I can see a glimpse out of His lens when I see people, instead of the dirt.  God is good!
