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?
