Bones

So all of you who really know
me are probably thinking 
that I'm going to talk about 
the tv show Bones
Because I really like that show. 
It's probably one of my favorites. 
But anyway, 
you're wrong. 
I'm not going to talk about the show. 
You see, there's this song. 
It's called "Bones"
and it's by Hillsong United.
It's wonderful.
And for the past few weeks 
it's been on repeat in my brain. 

Take a listen.

So anyway, 
it's really simple, right?
But the lyrics. 
They get me every time.
Every.
Time. 
It's a cry to the Father, 
asking Him to come and 
breathe life back into me. 
It's a cry for Him 
to teach me to love 
like He loves me. 
And why shouldn't I be asking that?
I mean, His Spirit is in me. 
I desire to see Him active and moving
in my life. 
But also in the lives around me. 
How incredible is it that 
I can even ask the Father 
to come and work in me. 
I shouldn't have any right to 
utter a word in His presence. 
But because of His great grace 
and mercy I can come before Him. 
It's beautiful. 

This song points me back to the 
Gospel every time I hear it. 
It reminds me of Ephesians. 
Yesterday Tony preached through
Ephesians 1:3-14.
I can't even describe how many times
I just about bawled my eyes out. 
God's grace is just so very evident. 
And as he was preaching, 
I just felt His grace fall fresh 
on my heart. 
Wave after wave 
washed over my soul
as I saw again and again in Scripture
how much He loves, 
how great He loves, 
and how richly He loves. 
I am so undeserving. 
But I'm not leaving this grace. 
I'm going to stand in it. 

Blessings.
