Hear my heart Lord, as I cry out to You
Hear my prayer Lord, and carry me thru
In Your mercy, in the promise You made...
Be my strength Lord, when my strength fades away

In my weakness, I'm finding Your strength
In my sorrow, a gentle embrace
Thru the seasons of laughter or pain
You are listening when I call out Your name

I'll find You when I seek
I'll look for You with all of my heart
And I'll find You when I'm weak

Cause when I am weak, Your strength is complete
It's perfect; completely all I need
Sufficient for me
Your grace and peace are perfect; completely all I need
You are all that I need

-Adie Camp-

caterpillars are intriguing creatures.

and so much like ourselves: shackled to the ground by limitations, covered with the dirt of our humanity, lacking the ability to change ourselves.

just an ordinary caterpillar ...

but with the internal wiring of a butterfly.

with the ability to fly and dream and be something totally new and amazing. 

when God looks at you ... he doesnt see the caterpillar

He simply sees the butterfly that He knows you are.  

The fullness of Your grace is here with me
The richness of Your beauty is all I see
The brightness of Your glory has arrived
In Your presence God, I'm completely satisfied.

A deep deep flood, an Ocean, flows from You
Of deep deep love ... 
Your innocent blood has washed my guilty life
In Your presence God, I'm completely satisfied.
 
For You, I sing, I dance,
Rejoice in this Divine romance,
Lift my heart and my hands
To show my love, to show my love
