Beautiful Things


The song "Beautiful Things" by Gungor is one of my favorites. I first came across this song in 2010 at my Grandmother's funeral when my cousins sang it in memory of her.  Since that time, I have only heard it randomly about three times and it always makes me cry....but it's a good thing.  This song not only makes me think of my Grandma but the simple lyrics are so powerful. The lyrics always remind me of why I am alive and that we were created to do beautiful things.

"Beautiful Things"
By Gungor

All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us...


The other day I was trying to remember what this song was called or who wrote it.  Later that night, a friend posted this photo on Pinterest out of nowhere:  Thank you! It jogged my memory of what song I was trying to remember.
I do not think of that as a coincidence. I got my "Heart Taps" (that's what I call it when I think God is nudging me or trying to get my attention) that night.  I was reminded that life is good and even from the beginning, God has a plan and created us to be better than what we ever dreamed or imagined.
