Before I went to bed last night I listened to my playlist as I always do. As I sat quietly my soul rested in the second verse of “The Goodness of God.” [Bethel Music, Jenn Johnson]
“I love Your voice. You have led me through the fire. In darkest night You are close like no other. I’ve known You as a Father. I’ve known You as a Friend. Oh, I have lived in the goodness of God.”
This is one of my favorite songs and always ministers to my soul. I assumed I would sleep well. Instead, my mind would not be quiet. Around 3:30 AM I began to repeat … “how can it be ….” I could not remember where that phrase came from until finally, I realized it was a phrase from the song “Amazing Love.” [Billy James Foote]
“Amazing love, How can it be? That You, my King would die for me? Amazing love, I know it’s true. It’s my joy to honor You, In all I do, I honor You.”
Isaiah 53:5: “But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.” [NLT]
What Amazing Love! That the King of Glory would die for such a one as I. In all I do, I strive to honor You. Amen
