My Unexpected Love

Honing a song for God is....something for sure! You want it to be perfect for Him...Not just some words your smacked together, hoping that it would make an ounce of sense. I mean...how do you write a song for a God who never completely makes sense anyway?


The following lyrics are to a new song I just completed...deservingly called, "Unexpected Love." The words came to me like...out of no where. I was trying to describe what the Lord is in my life right now, and he IS my unexpected Love...no doubt.


It definitely has been a couple of months since I've written a song. I mean...I've written a whole slew of them over the passing months, but this....I felt a yearning in my heart to share with everyone. And through the life of a struggling Christian...I wrote this...


I must tell you, I did write this song in my closet. It is kind of unusual that a 21 year old, who has a Physics final on Monday, would drop everything to sit in a lit closet writing love songs to God...

Music will be uploaded to FB soon...

Unexpected Love

Verse 1:
Break the silence
Hold me closer
You are the one that I rely on
At your alter
release all my worries
that I may never ever falter

Chorus:
And my whole life is changing
The world I know is fading
Your...
You’re my unexpected love
You’re my unexpected love
You’re my unexpected Love
You’re my unexpected Love

Verse 2:
Set my mind free
From all the voices
Calling me in ways I cannot go
let the world know
my place is with You
There’s no where else that I’d feel home but here

A Thought for the "Everyday"

"...Here's my glimpse"


It's funny that we focus so much on the glory of God just here in Earth. We're just a spec of dust in this VAST Universe. I look out into the waters, and gaze up to the sky, and wonder," what other paintings have You etched out with Your very own hands?"

He could have had us live anywhere...the life of an "alien" on a desert planet. But instead, He placed us here with a purpose to love Him, calls us HIS CHILDREN, with a chance to see Him with every opening of our eyes! I can't begin to imagine a world more beautiful than this...But, my eyes have only caught a glimpse of His glory. If I was able to grasp the complete beauty of the Lord...my eyes would go blind by its own sight.

...The Universe is endless and unimaginable much like our Savior. We can explore it, observe it, and test it all we want, but there is still more to it. There is no time, no balance, but a mystery beyond a BILLION stars that are embedded within a thick blanket of...."I don't knows'..."

....But one thing I do know, results in a God...who IS..
