Musical Monday- Beyond Measure

It's been a while since I did a Musical Monday, but I've had this song in mind for a long time. It is by Jeremy Camp, and it is called Beyond Measure from the album of the same name. Over the last several months, I have felt especially grateful for all that I have- my wonderful husband and children, my family, my health and the health of my loved ones, financial provision, but most of all, I am grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ. He is everything to me and I can never express the joy I have from knowing Him. I could also never repay all that He has done for me. It is so beyond me how loving and merciful He is.

I first heard this song while in the car (where I play most of my "grownup" music) and while listening to it, my eyes just filled with tears. It is an amazing song of gratitude and humbleness. It is saying that everything that we have is from God and how we are nothing without Him. We need him in good times and in bad, but His love is never ending and always unconditional. What an amazing and faithful God we serve!

Beyond Measure

The fog has finally cleared to see,
The beautiful life you’ve given me
To feel the breeze of my newborn’s gentle breath
With one to walk hand in hand,
To share this life that you have planned
It’s like a storybook with dreams
That are meant to see every next step is an extraordinary scene

[CHORUS]
I know that I’ve been,
Given more than beyond measure,
I come alive when,
I see beyond my fears
I know that I’ve been given more than earthly treasure,
I come alive when
I’ve broken down and given you control

I’ve faced a great tragedy,
But have seen the works of what you bring
A display of faith that you give,
I don’t know if I will ever understand
The depth of what it is you’ve done inside,
But I know I won’t find any worth apart from you

Everything that I have
Has been given so unselfishly
And shown that even when I don’t deserve
You always show the fullness of your love
