Unbelievable

Something I wrote about a month ago...felt like it was time to share it :)

The revealing of Your beauty

the thought of Your majesty

the hope of Your love

the sight of Your glory

These all awaken within me 

a feeling I cannot shake

a craving that is never fully satisfied

here, today, now

I was created with a craving inside

that makes me ache and yearn for more

I ache to jump fully into Your glory

to walk in your contagious love

so that it becomes the epidemic known to all

The incredible intricacies found 

in the the mis-labeled, wrongly understood "norma"

trick us into forgetting Your glory and love

From the sparkling masterpieces

found in each sea of a freshly fallen first snow

to the expected "normal" yet absolutely supernatural

miracle of You healing my bruises, wounds, and broken hearts

Your glory though revealed 

becomes completely concealed

in our expectations for Your kindness

and lack of recognition when freely given

These being labeled "normal" 

make them often forgotten

not so memorable

when they are unbelievably remarkable moments 

Your very nature

a taste of your glory revealed

story after story of heaven tenderly touching earth

beckoning humanity to come near

You awaken my heart to sing the melody

that you are inspiring over all Your creation

My heart, it sings the song of her Creator

loving Father, all magnificent, omnipotent,

indescribable, Unbelievable, Oh-so-close yet pushed so far

never miss a beat, the See-it-all

the Everything to Everything we will ever need

majestic One

Your rocks, they scream "He is near"

your trees, they rustle with Your presence

Stop

Breathe

Listen

Give up your false sense of right to reason

it didn't turn out so well in Eden

give up Your license to make sense of it al

l

Exchange your self-help mentality

and embark on a journey of praise

directed at the One who is, who was

who is everything no one and nothing else can ever be

Words-mine fail

yet, with entitlement aside, I continue on

knowing that the mountains dance

the trees speak, and the rocks cry out

of Your love for me

It's messy, the story of humanity

but You don't try to rewrite history, 

You tell both the good and the bad

You tell the narrative, You reveal it all

You are both the Narrator and the Narrative

the source of life in every breath

You breathe life into me

Unbelievable to both the Unbelieving and the believing

to the unbelieving Your story is foolishness

human concocted mockery of reason

yet to the believing

unbelievably crazy You are

to love and redeem and offer us the hope

You so freely do

I find You, my Savior, my God

my incredible Everything for Everything I'll ever need

quite unbelievable

You've opened my eyes to this unbelievable story

that is too good to be true, yet unbelievably is
