I can't understand this work of grace

How a perfect God

Would come and take my place

The stars they don't
move You

The waves can't undo
You

The mountains in
their splendor

They cannot steal
Your heart

This God who is holy, perfect in beauty

Awesome in glory, is ravished by
my heart

Though I am poor

You say I am lovely

Though I am dark

You say I am
beautiful

Somehow my weak glance

Has overwhelmed You and

Somehow my weak love

It has stolen away Your heart

These are the lyrics of the song "Dark But Lovely", a new
worship song Chad
taught us last week. The words in bold
are the ones that spoke to my heart most, but the song as a whole was a
wonderful reminder of my relationship with God.

I am constantly amazed by God's creation—the stars, the
ocean, the mountains. And He has
proclaimed all of that to be "good". But
I am the one who ravishes
Him. A glance from me overwhelms Him. My weak love steals away His heart. This
is the type of relationship I long to have with another human being, but I
already have it with my God. Why do I
seek love and admiration from men when I already have it from One who will
never fail me?
