...this summer i heard the lyrics to this song for the first time. i had been in the states for less than a month and my heart was a mess. i clung to the past desperatly and a desire that Jesus did not want to give me and than He showed me these lyrics. even today when i heard it in the car a real and tangable sense of peace consumed me as i realized it was His love, not the boy from school, not a future i had so dreamed of, but His love that broke through and made everything a reality that consisted of He and I.
this seemed to be the best picture to describe it. my dear sister Grace from Nigeria. she taught me of God's real grace and how undeserving we are and yet how real and intimate it can be. she deserves a post to rant about the things she taught me. (side note: thursday they decide if she can travel out of the UK so if you think of it, please pray!)
"Like a foolish dreamer, trying to build a highway to the sky
All my hopes would come tumbling down, and I never knew just why
Until today, when you pulled away the clouds that hung like curtains on my eyes well I've been blind all these wasted years and I though I was so wise but then you took me by surprise
Like waking up from the longest dream, how real it seemed
Until Your love broke through
I've been lost in a fantasy, that blinded me
Until Your love broke through
All my life I've been searching for that crazy missing part
And with one touch, you just rolled away the stone that held my heart
And now I see that the answer was as easy, as just asking you in
And I am so sure I could never doubt your gentle touch again
It's like the power of the wind
Like waking up from the longest dream, how real it seemed
Until Your love broke through
I've been lost in a fantasy, that blinded me
Until Your love, until Your love, broke through"

Mel, you gave that song to me and it's so interwoven in my life now. Thanks for that gift. I think we both have key times we think of when His love broke through, but now as we go on, His love is breaking over us again and again, we're going deeper and deeper, it's getting realer and realer. We'll never run out of discoveries in God. Praying for Grace today!
