A song from my Valentine

Perhaps a little cheesey to say but right now this is the love I need more than anything else....

How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
And make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory 

Behold the man upon the cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished 

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

This song is one of my favorites, I always feel a little better. I am trying to make this my prayer for the week.

We had a great prayer and praise with Ithica ( or a fraction of it anyway) tonight and I am grateful because I am stressed out of my mind. I am lost in school work and feeling like tomorrow is going to be an exteremly difficult day for me. It doesn't matter that I know I do not need a boyfriend to be worth while but rather my heart is lonely. I am doing well as far as keeping my mind focused on what I need to accomplish and trying to wait for God's perfect timing but I am fallen and broken.  And so I sing...
