can't believe - foolish things

i know by the way that you watch me
you're wishing i'd been someone else
but stuck here with me
you know we'll never be like the people on magazine shelves
i don't know where we forgot
we're all worth enough to be bought with a life

i still can't believe
that the same voice that spoke all the stars in the space says it loves me
and he made me nothing less than what i'm meant to be
some things i believe have been misconcieved
in this heart that can't understand love
help me to see what you see in me

i felt in your touch that you love me
still i'm drowning in all the world's lies
the way that i see is untrue to me
so my human heart's asking for some inhuman eyes

i still can't believe
that the same voice that spoke all the stars in the space says it loves me
and he made me nothing less than what i'm meant to be
some things i believe have been misconcieved
in this heart that can't understand love
help me to see what you see in me

i don't know where.. but we forgot
we're all worth enough to be bought with a life

i still can't believe
that the same voice that spoke all the stars in the space says it loves me
and he made me nothing less than what i'm meant to be
some things i believe have been misconcieved
in this heart that can't understand love
help me to see what you see in me

i was thinking about God, and the way people think of God today.
i think most people have the wrong view of God. the view that God is a vending maching.. that God will always do something. the view that God will give us everything and more. the view that we will always be able to hear God. i think that view is really screwed up. i dunno. i just think that real belief in God is just believing that things will all turn out right in the end. believing that someone is in control. believing that you are loved unconditionally, and that you have been and always will be loved. believing that you are loved so much that someone died for you so you could be saved from eternal pain. believing that you always have a friend. believing that you are never alone.
i don't know about you, but i'm perfectly content with that. with just knowing that i'm loved. i may be wrong about this. maybe people are right in thinking all those things about God.. but i think we put Him in too small of a box.. we limit what He's doing, just because we can't see it directly. but i believe.. it's not faith if you use your eyes.

"we often ask God to show up. we pray prayers of rescue. perhaps God would ask us to be that rescue, to be His body, to move for things that matter. He is not invisible when we come alive." - jamie tworkowski



i think too much.
