FMF: Sing

Linking up with the writers again for five minute Friday. If you are interested, click the link at the bottom of this post.

I have a special connection to music. It has always had the ability to touch me in a way that just words can't do. There are so many songs lately on the radio that have touched my heart. I am going to post the lyrics to one that really touched me today. The singing has found its way in to my head, reminding me of the message it was speaking to me, from God. My christian radio station is more then just entertainment for my commute, it is my worship time with God. It allows me to sing and praise him as I am heading to and from work. I can even share this with my kids. Hearing them sing along is amazing. Knowing that the lyrics they are hearing, that they are repeating are ones of praise, makes me feel better as a mom. I may not be there all the time, but hopefully the words of the songs we listen to in the car will stick in their minds. Hopefully when they think of me, they think of the times in the car we were just jammin out to our Jesus tunes.

I love remembering my mom in that way. She always had the radio on, tuned in to a christian radio station, every time we were in the car. That thirty minute drive, several times a week to church is something I can remember with fondness. She always used to say that God just said to make a joyful noise, He never said it had to be pretty. Remembering her off tune versions of worship makes me smile, even today.

When you see broken beyond repair

I see healing beyond belief

When you see too far gone

I see one step away from home

How many times can one heart break?

It was never supposed to be this way

Look in the mirror, but you find someone you never thought you'd be

Oh, but I can still recognize

The one I love in your tear stained eyes

I know you might not see him now, so lift your eyes to me

When you see broken beyond repair

I see healing beyond belief

When you see too far gone

I see one step away from home

When you see nothing but damaged goods

I see something good in the making

I'm not finished yet

When you see wounded, I see mended

You see your worst mistake

But I see the price I paid

And there's nothing you could ever do, to lose what grace has won

So hold on, it's not the end

No, this is where love's work begins

I'm making all things new

And I will make a miracle of you

When you see broken beyond repair

I see healing beyond belief

When you see too far gone

I see one step away from home

When you see nothing but damaged goods

I see something good in the making

I'm not finished yet

When you see wounded, I see mended

I see my child, my beloved

The new creation you're becoming

You see the scars from when you fell

But I see the stories they will tell

You see worthless, I see priceless

You see pain, but I see a purpose

You see unworthy, undeserving

But I see you through eyes of mercy

When you see broken beyond repair

I see healing beyond belief

You're not too far gone

You're one step away from home

When you see nothing but damaged goods

I see something good in the making

I'm not finished yet, no

When you see wounded, I see mended

Ooh, I see mended

Woah, oh I see mended

I'm not finished yet

When you see wounded, I see mended
