“If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.”
John 15:7-11 ESV
So life did not turn out like you planned
You keep holding out for a better hand
What about those stories you have read
Or that movie playing over again in your head
There must be something more to this life
More than disappointments and endless strife
There is one who overwhelms every expectation
Fulfills every hope, the only way to our salvation
One who loves us more than we can imagine
He came to rescue us, the propitiation for our sin
For it is darkness that ensnares, blocking out the light
Keeping us from realizing peace and joy in this life
It is time to relinquish your preconceived notions
There is more than just going through the motions
Give it all to the one who gave everything for you
He will take away every worry by his love so true
There is nothing he would not do to redeem his own
The source of all joy is found in Christ Jesus alone
