Your Love is Strong

Amanda Rossy always sends these positive and encouraging text messages every morning. I typically get them right after I get outta swim practice, and I love whatever she has to say. I'm usually not in too great of a mood after high school practice, so her positive words always are a good way to "restart" my morning.

Yesterday's said

"So why do I worry? Why do I freak out? God knows what I need, You know what I need"

and I l-o-v-e-d it! I thought I had heard something like it before, and so I immediately went through my collection of quotes trying to find the one I had that resembled it. And I couldn't find it! I didn't come anywhere near to it either. I was pretty bummed. So I turned to my second resource... GOOGLE! (who woulda guessed... ask my physics group, Google solves most problems) It was a song!! I think we might have sang it at Camp Cho-Yeh my first summer, because I don't know where else I woulda heard it. The lyrics are so true and so positive, I love it! The song is called "Your Love is Strong" (<-- click on the hyperlink and it'll take you to a youtube video so you can hear it)

So yeah, there's my little blurb for today (or well yesterday). It kinda goes a long with this semester, where I tend to over-worry about everything, especially when school is concerned. So now I'm not worrying or freaking out (well, I probably still will, but I'll always have this song in the back of my head and maybe won't freak out too much??)

Here's the lyrics to the song, Hope you have a great day!

Heavenly Father
You always amaze me
Let your kingdom come
In my world and in my life
You give me the food I need
To live through the day
And forgive me as I forgive
The people that wronged me
Lead me far from temptation
Deliver me from the evil one

I look out the window
The birds are composing
Not a note is out of tune
Or out of place
I look at the meadow
And stare at the flowers
Better dressed than any girl
On her wedding day

So why do I worry?
Why do I freak out?
God knows what I need
You know what I need

Chorus (3x):
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong

The kingdom of the heavens
Is now advancing
Invade my heart
Invade this broken town
The kingdom of the heavens
Is buried treasure
Will you sell yourself
To buy the one you've found?

Two things you told me
That you are strong
And you love me
Yes, you love me

(Chorus 3x)

Our God in heaven
Hallowed be
Thy name above all names
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us today our daily bread
Forgive us wicked sinners
Lead us far away from our vices
And deliver us from these prisons
