New

Today we stood and we sang words with hope and joy at our church.  Guitars jammed, drums rocked and vocal-awesomeness reigned in abundance.
And then...
We sang this song. 
This song that left me in tears the first time I heard it.  Like - embarassing-I-hope-no-one's-looking-I-can't-get-it-together tears.  I was out of hope.  Completely.  Totally.  I felt like I had been carrying around a weight that sat on me daily and laughed in my face, "You can't do this life."  I walked around wondering if I would ever feel again.  If I could ever be me...
And this song came and got all up in my grill. 
Here are the lyrics.  And if you find yourself in a place like I was and am still coming out of - I pray it gives you courage or even the reminder that hope is possible...

Beautiful Things
by Gungor

All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
