Sunlight, burning at midnight, making my life something so beautiful, beautiful. Mercy reaching to save me, all that I need. You are so beautiful, beautiful.
I got Francesca Battistelli's CD about a week ago, but I just tonight started listening to it and it really makes me think. My new favorite songs are Beautiful, Beautiful and Time in Between. There are two beautiful songs.
In Time in Between the first verse goes: You were there when Your Father said let there be light. You obeyed when He whispered Son, You have to leave tonight. To spend nine months in a mother's womb, three days in a borrowed tomb.
These lyrics put the birth of Christ into a whole different perpective for me. I mean when I hear or read, "God sent his only son." I think about God making him in Mary's stomach, but no... Jesus was in heaven and He knew everything that was going to happen to Him, and He willingly came to earth to die for people He didn't know, people who treated Him like a criminal, and people who'd never heard His name, people who hadn't even been born. But because He loved and trusted God so much and because He put all of his trust in God He came to die for us. And that to me is mind-boggling.
I've known this my entire life, but just one song can put it into a whole new perspective, and that's why I think worshiping God through songs is so important.
