Sovereign

"Sovereign" ~ Chris Tomlin

Sovereign in the mountain air
Sovereign on the ocean floor
With me in the calm
With me in the storm

Sovereign in my greatest joy
Sovereign in my deepest cry
With me in the dark
With me at the dawn

In your everlasting arms
All the pieces of my life
From beginning to the end
I can trust you

In your never failing love
You work everything for good
God whatever comes my way
I will trust you

Sovereign in the mountain air
Sovereign on the ocean floor
With me in the calm
With me in the storm

Sovereign in my greatest joy
Sovereign in my deepest cry
With me in the dark
With me at the dawn

In your everlasting arms
All the pieces of my life
From beginning to the end
I can trust you

In your never failing love
You work everything for good
God whatever comes my way
I will trust you

God whatever comes my way
I will trust you

All my hopes
All I need
Held in your hands

All my life
All of me
Held in your hands

All my fears
All my dreams
Held in your hands

All my hopes
All I need
Held in your hands

All my life
All of me
Held in your hands

All my fears
All my dreams
Held in your hands

In your everlasting arms
All the pieces of my life
From beginning to the end
I can trust you

In your never failing love
You work everything for good
God whatever comes my way
I will trust you

God whatever comes my way
I will trust you

God whatever comes my way
I will trust you

I had a lot on my heart tonight and I put this song on because I knew it would minister to me.  I sat on my bed with tears streaming down my face as I listened to the words, allowing God to touch me and comfort me.  My sister recently graduated from National University as an RN!  I am so proud of her!  She had an interview at a local hospital a week ago and found out today that she did not get the position.  This news hit me with sadness for her and at the same time I knew that God is in control and He has a plan and a purpose in this.  I know He will provide something even better for her.  Praying for His peace and comfort to surround my sister and fill her with love.

Today there was also a bombing at the Boston Marathon.  I have no idea what goes on in people's head, but I know that God has everyone involved in His loving arms.  My prayers are with everyone in Boston.

I am so thankful that when I don't have all the answers, God does.  He has it all under control.  Nothing is a surprise to Him.  I am held in His loving arms and I know He will fill me with peace and will turn my sadness into joy.
