so great right now.

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea:
A great High Priest, whose name is Love,
Who ever lives and pleads for me.

My name is graven on his hands,
My name is written on his heart;
I know that while in heaven he stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart.

When Satan tempts me to despair,
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look, and see him there
Who made an end of all my sin.

Because a sinless Savior died,
My sinful soul is counted free;
For God, the Just, is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise the One,
Risen Son of God!

Behold him there, the risen Lamb
My perfect, spotless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I am,
The King of glory and of grace!

One in himself, I cannot die
My soul is purchased by his blood
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ, my Savior and my God
With Christ, my Savior and my God

man, oh man.

these words are so incredibly real to me at this very moment, and this has nothing to do with the face that im typing while partially asleep, a new talent i've acquired.

also...

a good friend of mine shared a little piece of wisdom with me today.

when God brings you through something momentous, you need to make an alter, as a constant reminder of what you have been through, what you no longer are, and the potential you have for new things in Christ.

and as a result, i currently have a piece of paper with the words 'and, one point liz.." tacked to the wall above my desk.
