You don’t need to know where you’re going if you know the One who does.

Jesus Christ, I think upon Your sacrifice
You became nothing, poured out to death
Many times I've wondered at Your gift of life
And I'm in that place once again
I'm in that place once again


And once again I look upon the cross where You died
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside
Once again I thank You
Once again I pour out my life


Now You are exalted to the highest place
King of the heavens, where one day I'll bow
But for now, I marvel at Your saving grace
And I'm full of praise once again
I'm full of praise once again


Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross, my Friend


~Once Again (Matt Redman)


Still one of my favourite songs...I listen to it time & time again and draw strength and encouragement from it. And perhaps not for the reasons one would think; every time I try to do something in my own strength I am reminded of a quote I once read:


"In whatever we do, without God we will either fail miserably or succeed even more miserably."


When I am so sure of everything and all is working out, if God is not in my plans I sense a great lost and eventually come back and fall at His feet. Really not sure what to say but knowing I want His Holy Spirit to come and renew & refresh my heart, mind & soul. Hearing the song just makes me realize how weak & vulnerable I am but also that I have a Redeemer & Saviour who is exceedingly greater than anything I might encounter. And just coming to Him with a broken & contrite spirit; He restores me...Once Again
