And I am so amazed by You
* * *
The world is Yours, and everything in it
It's all in Your command
There is no end, to Your domain

The planets shake, the galaxies tremble
They turn within Your hands
There is no end, to Your domain
No height or depth, You don't sustain

Great in all the Earth is Your glory oh God
The universe declares how amazing You are
Over history, and eternity, You alone are Lord and King

The world is Yours, and everything in it
It's all in Your command
There is no end, to Your domain
No height or depth, You don't sustain

There is none like You
There is none like You
There is none like You
Jesus there is none like You

You alone (You alone)
You alone (You alone)
You alone (You alone)

Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth

Crucified
Laid behind a stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

Note to self: use some wisdom.

Thank you, Lord,
For the trials that come my way.
In that way I can grow each day
As I let you lead,

And thank you, Lord,
for the patience those trials bring.
In that process of growing,
I can learn to care.

But it goes against the way I am
To put my human nature down
And let the Spirit take control of all I do.
'Cause when those trials come,
My human nature shouts the thing to do;
And God's soft prompting can be easily ignored.

I thank you, Lord,
With each trial I feel inside,
That you're there to help,
Lead and guide me away from wrong.
'Cause you promised, Lord,
That with every testing,
That your way of escaping is easier to bear.

I thank you, Lord,
For the victory that growing brings.
In surrender of everything
Life is so worth while.
And I thank you, Lord,
That when everything's put in place,
Out in front I can see your face,
And it's there you belong.

No greater joy
Is there than this
To know for what
We're meant to live

To hold Your hand
To touch Your face
To find ourselves
In loves embrace

I want to stand before the King
Join in the song that heaven sings
I want to hold the hand that holds the world

I want to know the mystery
Reach out and touch the majesty
I want to hold the hand tht holds the world

No greater love
Could be bestowed
That You would name us as your own

Your daughters sing
Your sons rejoice
They gather here before Your throne

You are, You are
The author of creation
We are, the children of your heart

You are, You are,
The light of all the heaven
We rise, to worship all You are

 Been a long not-even-sure-it's a day. Nonetheless, things to thank God:

1) Though I've lost my wallet, I have people who want to help me, put me up, lend me money, give me food etc. The list goes on. 
2) I wanted to avert a starting equally problematic as last semester's. Might not quite have succeeded but God proves Himself to be the same God. Interestingly He doesn't even need to do it through action this time.
3) I got internet with no problem this time.
4) All my junk are at my new place already
5) I discovered silverfish and killed them and by faith there will be no more (please God)
6) I have a weekend ahead at linnenbach where I can dao the mess that needs to be unpacked
7) Term will start on a good footing I will believe for that
8) My vital furniture got settled more or less within a day
9) I lost my wallet only after I bought my furniture

is about pain as much as about victory.
