Hosanna - Hillsong

Verse 1:
I see the king of glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes

Yeah

Verse 2:
I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing
The people sing

Chorus:
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest


Verse 3:
I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith

Verse 4:
I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees
We're on our knees

(chorus)
Bridge:
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me

Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I go from nothing to
Eternity

(chorus x2)

Hosanna in the highest

It's becoming easier for me to say "someday, if i get married i'll...."
Like yesterday, when I had to call and visit several bridal shops looking for a dress for the formal.
I called my mom and had to report on all of them "I really liked this one- I think if I get married, I'll come back here."
etc etc etc.

I'm gonna marry that boy.

A few nights ago, he drank a lot at a party, and when I was driving us through Taco Bell, I mentioned keeping him, or staying with him forever... and he mentioned that he couldn't afford a ring yet.
I said, "You know you'll have to ask my dad if you can do that, right?"
He said, "Oh, I know. I have a notepad file on my laptop with all the things I could say to him." Then said "But of course I can't get to it, since my laptop is broken...."

my heart is all a flutter.
i really do love him.




I've been angry and bitter for a long time.
And i'm exhausted.
I am so tired of making snide comments in my head about everything and everyone because I'm so bitter at the world.

So. This is the beginning of my prayer.
A prayer of peace, and grace and kindness... compassion...
Because I'm exhausted.
And I'm tired of thinking horrible things about people- even if I justify it by telling myself they're thinking the same thing about me.

...someone once told me "you'd be surprised how little people actually think about you. so stop worrying."
i wish it were so easy.
