This morning I listened to the song Beautiful Things by Gungor and loved the lyrics (posted below) so much that I decided to find out where the inspiration for the song came from.
It's such a beautiful song that reminds us that regardless of our daily circumstances we need to remember that one day all of the angst & suffering
we have now will be made NEW!
God is present even in our difficulties!
I read an article where Gungor said:
"My wife Lisa and I wrote the song together based on experiences at our local church. We were seeing our friends going through suffering and pain. This song is an expression of hope that God will make beautiful things out of the dust in our lives, and God will somehow use us, use our obedience and love, our feeble human effort, and build Himself a kingdom. I see that God is using suffering to bring us closer to Him."
The verses used as inspiration were Isaiah 2:4 and Revelation 21:4-5
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new
