I recently wrote the following song during a season of seemingly endless weariness, when I realized that even though everything on the outside seemed to be going well, I found myself in complete internal turmoil and disarray. It was only at that moment of complete brokenness that I realized that our loving Father needed to strip away so many temporary things of this world that I had previously found my worth in-- people, achievements, and my image and pride-- in order to reveal something of much greater worth and value: my relationship with Him.
"Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen." - Ephesians 3:20-21

Infinite You
Father, I am weak and weary
I've been running after a finite hope
Now It's running out and I need more
It is then that I realize
You, I need You and your infinite love
I need You and your unstoppable ways
I need you and your glorious power in my life
Because none else will endure,
Nothing in this world will satisfy
Shattered into many pieces
Are my hope, my dreams, and desires
My heart wrenches in a million ways
It is then that I realize
Though our hope in man may fail
You are greater, You are stronger
Thank You for waiting patiently
Thank You for unending grace
