Tonight the Stars Speak - The Glorious Unseen

Tonight the stars speak of your infinite love
And it serves to remind me
That what I have means nothing at all
Compared to your glory, Oh lord

How long till your voice speaks clearly?
How long till your arms envelop me?
I cry be my strength when I am weak
Oh Lord have mercy on me please

My spirit is willing but my flesh is so weak
I cry in your arms now
God grant me the strength to rest in you
I lift my hands and cry

I love his lyrics.
It's so much more than the majority of worship music.. which tends to be sugary and fluffy.
I like true honesty in worship - because that's what worship is. being honest with God.
it's terribly important.



i went out to coffee with the youth pastor of the youth group i've been going to the past couple weeks this afternoon.. had a good conversation. i actually talked about some things out loud with someone face to face. it was a huge step for me.. no joke. i haven't had an honest conversation like that in rl in a long time. and we didn't even dig too deep.. and i still held back quite a bit (which i somewhat regret).. but.. it was good. he's a cool guy. even though i'm not to big on the youth group.. but i'm going because i know i need to. because i don't really get anything out of my church. i mean, i love it a lot and the people are awesome.. but i don't connect there. and i haven't connected at this youth group either yet.. and i don't know if i will. but i know i have to try being with people around my age because i'm terribly miserable being by myself all the time.

I want to encourage you to keep trying. The joy of fellowship and intimate compassion (directed to those you know closely) is a wonderful thing.

Peace.
