You were there when your Father said,
Let there be light.
You obeyed when He whispered,
Son, You have to leave tonight
to spend nine months in a mothers womb;
Three days in a borrowed tomb.

But its the time in between,
That brings me to my knees,
Knowing You came for me,
And all that I can be.
I'm amazed... so amazed...
And I thank You for the time in between.

Don't take much for this crazy world
To rob me of my peace.
And the enemy of my soul
Says You're holding out on me.
So I stand here lifting empty hands,
For You to fill me up again.

But its the time in between,
That brings me to my knees,
Waiting on what You'll bring,
and the things that I cant see.
I know my songs incomplete...
Still, Ill sing in the time in between.

So many ways...
Your love has saved the day.
And I'm grateful for them all.

But its the time in between
The middle of two thieves
That says everything.
Its the reason I believe.
I'm amazed, so amazed.
And I thank You for the time in between.
Oh, Lord,
I thank You for the time in between.

"God, who needs nothing, loves into existence wholly superfluous creatures in order that He may love and perfect them. He creates the universe, already foreseeing--or should we say "seeing"? there are no tenses in God--the buzzing cloud of flies about the cross, the flayed back pressed against the uneven stake, the nails driven through the mesial nerves, the repeated incipient suffocation as the body droops, the repeated torture of back and arms as it is time after time, for breath's sake, hitched up. If I may dare the biological image, God is a "host" who deliberately creates His own parasites; causes us to be that we may exploit and "take advantage of" Him. Herein is love. This is the diagram of Love Himself, the inventor of all loves." - C.S. Lewis



Who is like our God? From all I have seen and heard, there is none that compares to Him and His love. He alone makes my heart come alive, He alone gives meaning to my existence. He has captured and captivated my heart. I want to give Him back my life and my love, how can I keep from singing? ^^
