Dead Heart, Now Beating

"I once was fatherless,a stranger with no hope. Your kindness wakened me, awakened me from my sleep. Your love it beckons deeply, a call to come and die. By grace now I will come and take this life, take your life. Sin has lost it's power, death has lost it's sting. From the grave you've risen victoriously! Into marvelous light I'm running, out of darkness, out of shame. By the cross you are the truth, You are the life, You are the way. My dead heart now is beating. My deepest stains now clean. Your breath fills up my lungs. Now I'm free. Now I'm free!"

This song is constantly playing in my car and on my laptop and I'm constantly singing it at the top of my lungs. It's called "Marvelous Light" and it's by Charlie Hall. You can find the live version of this song on the Passion 2005 CD called How Great is Our God. It's a great CD (also has live versions of "No One Like You" and "Indescribable"), everyone should check it out.

I believe the term you referred to in my blog was misinterpretted. What I meant was, "so much for finding my husband at A&M at the last minute." Obviously you took it differently.
PS You no longer need to threaten to beat boys up that I think are cute like you did when I was in 7th grade. However, I will allow you to pummel the scummy ones that honk at me!

David-That's an awesome song. I just bought it off iTunes. That's got a great message in it, and it's very encouraging and moving. That's definetly one of those songs that you just automatically sing out loud at the top of your lungs. I'll try to make it to Small Group Tuesday, but I may be 10-20 minutes late. This will hopefully be the last Tuesday I'll have to ref, because I'm going to ask my supervisor if I can switch days. See you later (hopefully Tuesday).
