so, let’s start the first monday in 2015 with an upbeat song, shall we?! i love, love this song. it reminds me that i don’t have to have all things going perfect before i know life is beautiful. the fact that i’m breathing is enough reason to praise God. and i know sometimes that seems to be not enough reason, like i must have all the things i ask God before i’m joyful. nope. i’m alive, and that means God has a purpose for me. i don’t want to take His breath in me for granted. psalm 51:1 says restore to me the joy of Your salvation.. if nothing at all, heaven waits for me, and that sure is enough reason for me to be joyful and revel in each day that God wakes me up to. 

beautiful day ~ jamie grace

Oh oh oh wake up and smile cause it’s been a while

It’s been like a whole day since I stopped so You could hold me

This child awakes strong in the faith,

Lord, You are the refuge that I can’t wait to get to

Cause I can’t let a day go, can’t let a day go by

without thanking You for the joy that You bring to my life

and oh, there’s something ‘bout the way Your sun shines on my face

it’s a love so true I can never get enough of You

this feeling can’t be wrong

I’m about to get my worship on

Take me away, it’s a beautiful day, yeah, yeah, yeah it’s a beautiful day

When trouble seems to rain on my dreams,

It’s not a big, not a big deal

Let it wash all the bugs off my windshield

Cause You’re showing me in You I’m free

And You’re still the refuge that I’ve just got to get to

So I won’t let a day go, won’t let a day go by

So put the drop-top down, turn it up, I’m ready to fly

I’ve got no need to worry, I’ve got no room for doubt

No matter what’s coming at me, You’ll always be the beautiful I sing about

There aint no limitations to Your amazing grace, Your amazing grace

And there’s something ‘bout the way Your love shine on my face

Oh no, I just could never get enough of You

This feeling can’t be wrong

I’m about to get my worship on

I’m gonna sing a brand new song

Yeah, I’m about to get my worship on

Take me away on this beautiful day.

Beautiful day, it’s a beautiful day

Such a beautiful day.
