Thanksgiving

Lost for words with all to say
Lord you take my breath away
Still my soul, my soul cries out
For you are holy

And as I look upon your name
Circumstances fade away
Now your glory steals my heart

You are holy
You are holy Lord

Evermore my heart, my heart will say
Above all, I live for your glory
Even if my world falls I will say
Above all, I live for your glory

With all my heart I'll say
I'm living for your name
With all to give you praise
We're living for your glory Lord

-- "Evermore" by Hillsong

I've been thinking along the lines of "what I'm thankful for" this weekend, and today, this song came to mind. It's one of my favourites, (and was the inspiration for my blog title...) and really reminds me of what I'm thankful for and why I'm here on earth.

Even though it's rough, and circumstances don't always go as we wish they would, God's always there, ready to wipe our tears away - an everlasting friend - and all he asks in return is that we live for him and let the world know how great he is. It makes me speechless. I can't even understand that love. That's probably the point.
