Ruins

Hey guys – so I’ve recently come across this song I’ve had on my iPod for quite some time now, but I’ve either passed over it or intentionally did not want to listen to it, but one day God caught me off-guard with this song – hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.

You know that feeling of just being so unworthy? Or how God tends to bless you the most when you know you just don’t deserve it at ALL? Like… something good happens and you look up and ask… seriously? You did this for me? After I pretty much turned my back on you time and time again? Why?? (and I’m not even talking about turning your back on Him by disowning Him or something, I mean just by our daily thoughts, actions, desires, or our heart’s intentions)

And then you feel peaceful because God replies, “Because I love you, and because I can.”

“Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” – Matthew 6:26 (NIV)


Amazing.


Ruins – by Bebo Norman

Laying flat upon my back,
All the world in motion
Everything goes by so fast
I feel like I’m frozen

After all is said and done
Did I fail to mention
Everything I haven’t done
All my good intentions

This is my holy hour, this is my world on fire
This is my desperate play, this is where I am saved

I’ve no fear of height or depth
I’ve no fear of crashing
The single thing I fear the most
Simply feeling nothing

This is my holy hour, this is my world on fire
This is my desperate play, this is where I am made
This is my kingdom come, this is my freedom song
This is my helpless state, this is where I am saved

Let my ruins become the ground you build upon
Let my ruins become the start
Let my ruins become the ground you build it on
From what’s left of my broken heart

This is my holy hour, this is my world on fire
This is my desperate play, this is where I am made
This is my kingdom come, this is my freedom song
This is my helpless state, this is where I am saved

God Bless!
