hallelujah

Who can hold the stars
And my weary heart?
Who can see everything?

I've fallen so hard
Sometimes I feel so far
But not beyond your reach

I could climb a mountain
Swim the ocean
Or do anything
But it's when you hold me
That I start unfolding
And all I can say is

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
Help me to sing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
I'll choose to sing hallelujah

The same sun that
Rises over castles
And welcomes the day

Spills over buildings
Into the streets
Where orphans play

And only you can see the good
In broken things
You took my heart of stone
And you made it home
And set this prisoner free

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
Help me to sing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
I'll choose to sing hallelujah

lately, i am loving these lyrics. i love the chorus and thinking about singing praise and saying hallelujah to whatever is in front of me. life is crazy for me right now. i feel like i am juggling too many things and if i drop one, i drop everything. i have  school hours to get, papers to write, moving into a new place, cleaning my old place, work, and on top of that daily little things and committing to being still and resting and being a good friend.
last week for easter i was here- the first holiday that i have not been home! i went to crosspoint and the sermon was basically saying we try to hold so much ourselves and hold everything together by ourselves and then we get overwhelmed and weighed down. but he referenced psalm 18:2- stating that God is our Rock...our safe place, place of dwelling, and refuge. and we can trust Him with anything- with whatever is in front of us. we can praise Him and He doesn't change. i needed to hear that and be reminded of that truth in this season of my life.
