Let us be the remedy
I seriously love the David Crowder Band with all my heart. Their lyrics are perfect...
Here we are
Here we are
The broken and used
Mistreated, abused
Here we are
Here You are
Here You are
The beautiful one
Who came like a Son
Here You are
So we lift up our voices
We open our hands
To cling to the love
That we can’t comprehend
Oh, lift up your voices
And lift up your heads
To sing of the love
That has freed us from sin
He is the one
Who has saved us
He is the one
Who embraced us
He is the one who has come
And is coming again
He’s the remedy
Here we are
Here we are
Bandaged and bruised
Awaiting a cure
Here we are
Here You are
Here You are
Our beautiful King
Bringing relief
Here You are with us
So we lift up our voices
And open our hands
Let go of the things
That have kept us from Him
He is the one
Who has saved us
He is the one
Who forgave us
He is the one who has come
And is coming again
He’s the remedy
Oh, I can’t comprehend
I can’t take it all in
Never understand
Such perfect love come
For the broken and beat
For the wounded and weak
Oh, come fall at His feet
He’s the remedy
He’s the remedy
He is the one
Who has saved us
He is the one
Who forgave us
He is the one who has come
And is coming again
He's the remedy
He's the remedy
So Sing, Sing
You are the one
Who has saved us
You are the one
Who forgave us
You are the one who has come
And is coming again
To make it alright
Oh, to make it alright
You’re the remedy
Oh, in us
You’re the remedy
Let us be the remedy
Let us bring the remedy

Country roads, take me home
To a home I no longer know
Where is this place I long for?
A place where I feel useful
A place where I belong
Maybe the problem lies in my heart
Or my brain or my abilities
I can feel myself falling apart
but where will the pieces land?
Is this life all I see?
There is a God or there isn't
That's the choice in front of me
To live like there is
Or to destroy myself like there isn't

Hold me with arms that made the universe
Sitting here staring into the sound here at the outer banks makes me feel small. Yet, small in a good way. I think we all need to be reminded of our small stature before the Creator God. Here's the tension, we are small but we are of great value. "While we were still yet sinners [enemies of God] Christ died for the ungodly" Paul tells us in Romans 5. Bethany Dillon sings, "When You could just be silent and leave us here to die/Still, You sent Your Son for us/You are on our side." In my smallness I feel loved by a God who is "on our side." Just my thought for today.

Let Me Sow Love
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen
~St. Francis of Assisi
