Amazing God

Looking in the sky,
Whoever could deny Your glory?
Gazing into space,
How small the human race appears.
Seeing You in all Your majesty,
I wonder how it could be
That You delight in me.

Lord, You are an amazing God.
Lord, You are an amazing God.
Lord, You are an amazing God,
And I love You, I love You.

Lord of everything,
No other god or king is like You.
Powerful and strong,
Yet tender is Your song to me.
Knowing the extent of all my sin,
However could You be pleased
To pour Your love on me?

You light up the heavens with just one word,
You measure the mountains in Your hand;
Yet You treasure the broken and make them whole,
You crown us with Your love.

Chinese Poem

This was on a friend's blog and I had to permanently add it to mine.

"This morning in China a mother cries.
She'll never forget her daughter's eyes;
Her heart is broken and filled with pain,
The tears run down like the falling rain.
She has no choice but to leave her there,
The cost of keeping is too much to bear.
She hopes her daughter will one day know
True love can be found in letting her go.

This morning in China a baby cries,
Hungry and scared as tears fill her eyes.
Her mother has left her in this public place
Another lost daughter of the Chinese race.
Someone passing by has heard her soft moan
She's soon quickly taken to an orphanage.
It's here she'll reside in the care of another
Until she's adopted by a brand new mother.

That very same moment, in the U.S.A.
A woman cries as she starts to pray.
Her heart is heavy but filled with much love,
She prays for a daughter she thinks the world of.
'Dear Jesus I ask that your arms would be
Wrapped tightly around the one picked for me.
Guard her in China 'til I make my way
And then in my arms forever she'll stay."
