"there's a love you cannot hide
though He waits in line to fight
for He looks up to welcome you His child
little stranger, girl, you are home tonight

He reaches out a thousand miles
sends His voice to where you night
and in your dreams He carries you His child
little stranger, girl, you are home tonight"

-peter bradley adams (formerly of eastmountainsouth)

i was listening to this song today, and my eyes welled up with tears because i am that girl. i am thankful to God for His mercy and grace. i am thankful that His love cannot be hidden and He continually fights on my behalf. And there are so many times, and will continue to be, where He MUST carry me. i cannot wait to go home. as i sit here and listen to the song play, i hear the beautiful sound of the violins and the piano, but i can't help but think that His beauty is incomparable to any song ever written, any music ever played, any harmony ever sung. He is beauty.

God speed His return, when His bride will be presented to Him, and we are shone the glory of God in all it's fullness!

"as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.
So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him."

2 Peter 3:12-14

"He who testifies to these things says, 'Yes, I am coming soon.' AMEN. COME, LORD JESUS!!"
