Amazing God (again)

So I've become something that always bugged me: a radio flicker--someone who cannot stay on a station for more than a line or two of a song and is switching to another station and another line and then repeating this action over and over. I have not liked much on the radio lately and just flick from one station to the next while driving (the only time I have access to radio). Today, however, God chose to speak to me in a very personal way using radio. I am always blown away by the times THE God of the UNIVERSE deigns to reach down in the midst of BILLIONS of people and billions of situations much graver and important than mine and sends me a message, just to ME, saying "I have time for you; I hear your heart cry; I love you infinitely; I am reminding you that even when you are faithless, child, I remain faithful." He will do this in an "offhand" remark from a friend or acquaintance that strikes right where I need it and the bearer of the message has no idea, or through a note that "just happens" to arrive at the perfect moment, or a reading in my devotions that isn't even the "right" day (since I have skipped some days and no one (human) could know which day I would be on that reading) but it is exactly what I needed to hear that day...So how did He do it today? Well, not just by having me listen to ONE complete song that was searing my heart, but THREE songs, in a row, no interruptions or advertisements or comments--and they began when I started driving and were over when I reached my destination. I have pasted them here, no interruptions, no comments from me, if you care to read through them. Maybe you'll see a theme of sorts, maybe you won't. But there is no doubt in my mind that God was speaking to me, and oh, how I needed His words and what comfort and sweet HOPE I received from my Lord, and how I praise Him for once AGAIN reminding me "who I am to" Him. To God be the glory!

You Love Me Anyway by Sidewalk Prophets

The question was raised
As my conscience fell
A silly, little lie
It didn’t mean much
But it lingers still
In the corners of my mind
Still you call me to walk
On the edge of this world
To spread my dreams and fly
But the future’s so far
My heart is so frail
I think I’d rather stay inside

But You love me anyway
It’s like nothing in life that I’ve ever known
Yes You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me
How You love me

It took more than my strength
To simply be still,
To seek but never find
All the reasons we change
The reasons I doubt
And why do loved ones have to die?

But You love me anyway
It’s like nothing in life that I’ve ever known
Yes You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me

I am the thorn in Your crown
But You love me anyway
I am the sweat from Your brow
But You love me anyway
I am the nail in Your wrist
But You love me anyway
I am Judas’ kiss
But You love me anyway
See now, I am the man who yelled out from the crowd
For Your blood to be spilled on this earth shaking
ground
Yes then, I turned away with a smile on my face
With this sin in my heart tried to bury Your grace
And then alone in the night, I still called out for You
So ashamed of my life, my life, my life
But You love me anyway
It’s like nothing in life that I’ve ever known
Yes,You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me
You love me, yes You love me
How You love me
How You love me
How You love me

Undo by Rush of Fools

I've been here before
Now, here I am again
Standing at the door
Praying You'll let me back in

To label me
A prodigal would be
Only scratching the surface
Of who I've been known to be

Turn me around, pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, I need Your help
I can't do this myself
You're the only one
Who can undo what I've become

I focused on the score
But I could never win
Trying to ignore
A life of hiding my sin

To label me
A hypocrite would be
Only scratching the surface
Of who I've been known to be

Turn me around, pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, I need Your help
I can't do this myself
You're the only one
Who can undo what I've become

Make every step lead me back to
The sovereign way that You

Turn me around, pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, I need Your help
I can't do this myself
You're the only one who can undo
You are the only one who can undo
You're the only one who can undo
What I've become


Remind me Who I Am by Jason Gray

When I lose my way,
And I forget my name
Remind me who I am

In the mirror all I see
Is who I don't wanna be
Remind me who I am

In the loneliest places
When I can't remember what grace is

(Chorus)
Tell me, once again, who I am to You, who I am to You
Tell me, lest I forget Who I am to You, that I belong to You, to You

When my heart is like a stone,
And I'm running far from home
Remind me who I am

When I can't receive Your love
Afraid I'll never be enough
Remind me who I am

If I'm Your beloved
Can You help me believe it ?

ChorusTell me, once again, who I am to You, who I am to You
Tell me, lest I forget Who I am to You, that I belong to You, to You


I'm the one You love
I'm the one You love
That will be enough
I'm the one You love
