"You're Doin' Great" Mix.

Josh gave me a "You're Doin' Great" Mix today. And I had kind of a weird start to the week, with some young life stuff that didn't quite go as I planned, and a physics test that I expected to do better on, and stuff like that, and it makes me really happy. Because there's a whole heap of incredible stuff on it.

This song is beautiful. And I didn't realize that it has to do with Jesus, but it definately does. Mostly I kept getting stuck on the image of "please don't fight these hands that are holding you." And I realize that that's something I definately have a tendency to do, which makes no sense. Why would I fight to get out of the grasp of my creator? I know I do it with Josh, too. I think that might be poem material.

Why are you striving these days
Why are you trying to earn grace
Why are you crying
Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away

Why are you looking for love
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough
To where will you go child
Tell me where will you run
To where will you run

And I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

Look at these hands and my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in
And give you life
I want to give you life

Cause I, I love you
I want you to know
That I, I love you
I'll never let you go
