Beloved

It's the week of my sister's wedding so that hopefully explains why I haven't been on here much. After this weekend, thing will start to slow down a little.


I have some really ADORABLE pictures of the boys in their tux's. (Spoken like a true mother, right?) Hopefully they'll both make it to the end of the aisle emotionally intact....heck, me too for that matter. I also, though our dumb computer still won't turn on, plan to do my garden update soon....I know, I know. It's obnoxious how many times I've said that now.


But, I just wanted to take a moment to share something with you. There is much on my heart today. It's been a heavy time for our family for several reasons and I've just felt kinda sad today. These two songs were what I needed to hear....to be reminded that I pray to the King, the One who sits on the throne and holds this all in His hand, the King that rules every nation and chases wrecklessly after my little, sinful heart, the King that calls me His beloved bride.... and even those I need to forgive.


Oh, how quickly I forget the sweetness of being loved by a King.

Beloved

Love of my life
Look deep in my eyes
There you will find what you need

Give me your life
Lust and the lies
The past you're afraid I might see
You've been running away from me

You're my beloved
Lover I'm yours
Death shall not part us
It's you I died for
For better or worse
Forever we'll be
Our Love it unites us
It binds you to me
It's a mystery

Love of my life
Look deep in my eyes
There you will find what you need
I'm the giver of life
I'll clothe you in white
My immaculate bride you will be
Oh come running home to me yeah

You're my beloved
Lover I'm yours
and Death shall not part us
It's you I died for
For better or worse
Forever we'll be
Our Love it unites us
and it binds you to me yea now now

Well you've been a mistress, my wife
Chasing lovers it won't satisfy
Won't you let me make you my bride
You will drink of my lips
And taste new life

You're my beloved
Lover I'm yours
Death shall not part us
It's you I died for
For better or worse
Forever we'll be
Our Love it unites us
it binds you to me

You're my beloved
Forever we'll be
Our love it unites us
And it binds you to me
It's a mystery

*I added this to my playlist....go listen!

I'm Singing

Only one name lasts forever

Only one fame stands alone
Only one key has an anthem
That goes on and on and on

And I'm Singing to the God who brings redemption to the nations
Kings and oceans bow to Him in praise
And I'm Singing to the God who wrote the book on our salvation
To the One who covers me in grace
I'm Singing

Only one word in the beginning
Only one truth will prevail
Only one love brings you freedom
Only one Man took the nails

And I'm Singing to the God who brings redemption to the nations
Kings and oceans bow to Him in praise
And I'm Singing to the God who wrote the book on our salvation
To the One who covers me in grace
I'm Singing

Praise, Praise to the Savior
Praise, to the Lamb Of God
Praise, in all of His splendor
Praise, for saving my life

And I'm Singing to the God who brings redemption to the nations
Kings and oceans bow to Him in praise
And I'm Singing to the God who wrote the book on our salvation
To the One who covers me in grace

And I'm Singing to the God who brings redemption to the nations
Kings and oceans bow to Him in praise
And I'm Singing to the God who wrote the book on our salvation
To the One who covers me in grace
To the One who covers me in grace
I'm Singing...
