Your Love is Strong

Heavenly Father, you always amaze me

Let your Kingdom come in my world and in my life

Give me the food I need to live through today

And forgive me as I forgive the people that wrong me

Lead me far from temptation

Deliver me from the evil one


I look out the window the birds are composing

Not a note is out of tune or out of place

I walk to the meadow and stare at the flowers

Better dressed than any girl on her wedding day


So why should I worry?

Why do I freak out?

God knows what I need

You know what I need


Your Love is,

Your Love is,

Your love is strong


The Kingdom of the Heavens is now advancing

Invade my heart, invade this broken town

The Kingdom of the Heavens is buried treasure

Would you sell yourself to buy the one you've found?


Two things you told me

That you are strong

And you love me

Yes you Love me


Your Love is,

Your Love is,

Your Love is strong


Our God in Heaven

Hallowed be Thy name above all names

Your Kingdom come!

Your will be done

On earth as it is in heaven

Give us today our Daily Bread

Forgive us weary sinners

Keep us far from our vices

And Deliver us from these prisons!

Your Love is Strong, by Jon Foreman


This song has set the frame for my prayers the last few weeks. I am so amazed at God, in so many areas, I think my brain is starting to short circuit. Yesterday I was doing my handwriting of Genesis and I was just blown away by how faithful God is, how he upholds all creation, daily fulfilling his covenant with Noah.


I need His Kingdom and His gospel to come in and tear me apart. I am so proud.

I am so weak, I cannot try to plan another day without his help.

I so need forgiveness, and deliverance from temptation and sin.

I live on a mountain top. How amazing and gorgeous is that?

And yet I worry about tomorrow, how I'm performing, what certain girls might think of me. I get all worked up about stuff that has little or no significance. He knows what I really need, how I need to rely on Him.

The Lord's Prayer set to music is so much more alive in day to day life. His Love is Strong.
