Caroline's new birth in everlasting grace

When you made your choices
And they bought you here
Surprised by failure
Hope replaced by fear
And you have no words
To say what you're looking for
Had your rules and broke them
Can't bear to see you own face
Now justice accuses
You get a thrist for grace
Everlasting grace
Everlasting

A new beginning
Life in Christ is now and ever
With mercy here anewed

When your heart is broken
By a sacrifice
What you've known is dying
You get a taste for life
Everlasting life
Everlasting

A new beginning
Life in Christ is now and ever
With mercy here anewed

Hmmm...how does one express something like this other than.....

Yesterday I met with a girl who came to our first CU meeting on tuesday night. Her mum's a muslim and a friend bought her. She told me that for a while she's realised that no matter what she does she can't get peace and assurance that things are ok with God and her.

She said in the room she saw people who had this. And a security she didn't have. She felt dazed and confused as Nat spoke about grace and the real gospel. Everything she ever thought about religion was crumbling down around her and she didn't understand why.

So I met up for coffee to talk more. Initially I suggested over the next few weeks we meet to read John's gospel together. But she had question after question.

And just as the sun rises over the horizon and floods the earth with light I watched her face change as she realised the reason she felt she couldn't do it was: Becuase she couldn't. The reason she felt imperfect: Was becuase she was. And that God offered her a free gift that she needed to accept. Jesus

an open present now
everlasting
here is the moment
moments more are passing
pray for open eyes
and you're already here

you're already here
the usual
a miracle
and you're already here

Although there was still alot of questions she understood for the first time that she never would be able to do all that she wanted to do to be right with God and that Jesus had done it all.

In the middle of a busy coffee shop on campus we bowed our heads and prayed. And Caroline accepted christ into her life!!!

Here knocks
once more on a soft heart
In a hard world
Here stays until it's met

The revolution begins
And prayers are being answered
