will he tell her to sleep well and have sweet dreams like he told me?
will he smile at her and make her laugh like he did me?
will he make her feel beautiful and wonderful like he did me?
will he hold her like he held me?

none of this matters because the Lord my God has taken the pain away. He will fix my broken heart and heal the scars. my God is my rock and my fortress.

why would i need any boy over my God? he is nothing compared to the awesome magnificence of my King.

Psalm 46:10

"Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!"

hallelujah! what a savior!!

life can be really hard sometimes. there are things that are overwhelming, or just all-together sucky. but God is good. He's always there. He loves us little, crap-encrusted sinners more than anything in the world. He loves us so much that He knows the number of hairs on our heads. how amazing is that. He is an incredible God. He will never leave us nor forsake us. He saved us from ultimate, eternal damnation. He was crucified brutally on a cross made out of wood for US, us silly little humans who have screwed up so much. how fantastic is that? the fact that the Creator of the world would take on all the stuff we've done and die for it. you really have to wrap your mind around that. and it takes time, but what an amazing thought. amazing. "I am the Lord your God." He is our God! He loves us!! how exciting is that?

Man of Sorrows!  what a name
for the Son of God, who came
ruined sinners to reclaim. 
Hallelujah!  What a Savior!

Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
in my place condemned he stood;
sealed my pardon with his blood.
Hallelujah!  What a Savior!

Guilty, vile, and helpless we;
spotless Lamb of God was he;
full atonement can it be? 
Hallelujah!  What a Savior!

Lifted up was he to die;
"It is finished!" was his cry;
now in heaven exalted high. 
Hallelujah!  What a Savior!

When he comes, our glorious King,
all his ransomed home to bring,
then anew this song we'll sing:
Hallelujah!  What a Savior!
