{Hope | Personal}

Bless the LORD, O my soul,

And forget none of His benefits;

Who pardons all your iniquities,

Who heals all your diseases;

Who redeems your life from the pit,

Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;

Who satisfies your years with good things, 

So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.

{Psalm 103: 2-5}

I wanna see Miracles

"I want to see miracles //see the world change //

Wrestle the angel // for more than a name"

"For more than a feeling // For more than a cause
I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You."

"Twenty four voices // With twenty four hearts
With all of my symphonies // In twenty four parts.
  and I'm not copping out. Not copping out. Not copping out."

~Twenty-four, Switchfoot

His glory

"But You, O Lord, shall endure forever, and the remembrance of Your name to all generations.You will arise and have mercy on Zion; For the time to favor her, yes, the set time has come."

"So the nations shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth Your glory."

~Psalm 102

[verses 12-13, 15]

"For the Lord shall build up Zion; He shall appear in His glory. He shall regard the prayer of the destitute, and shall not despise their prayer."

"This will be written for the generation to come, that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord." 

[verses 16-18]

"For He looked down from the height of His sanctuary; from heaven the Lord viewed the earth, to hear the groaning of the prisoner, to loose those appointed to death,"

[verses 19-20]

"To declare the name of the Lord in Zion, And His praise in Jerusalem, when the peoples are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord."

[verse 22]

Spring Came Early

"For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.

The flowers appear on the earth; 

The time of singing has come, And the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.

The fig tree puts forth her green figs, 

And the vines with the tender grapes give a good smell."

~ Song of Solomon 2:11-13
