creating me

There is a band called Rend Collective Experiment that has a new album out titled "Campfires". On it is a track called "Second Chance" and it has been a source of great soul comfort and renewal for me this last week or so.

The song goes :

My future hangs on this
You make preciousness from dust
Please don't stop creating me

Your blood offers the chance
To rewind to innocence
Reborn, perfect as a child

CHORUS:
Oh Your cross, it changes everything
There my world begins again with You
Oh Your cross, it's where my hope restarts
A second chance is Heaven's heart

When sin and ugliness
Collide with redemption's kiss
Beauty awakens by romance

Always inside this mess
I have found forgiveness
Mercy as infinite as You

(Chorus)

BRIDGE:
Countless second chances
We've been given at the cross
Countless second chances
We've been given at the cross

Fragments of brokenness
Salvaged by the art of grace
You craft life from our mistakes

Black skies of my regrets
Outshone by this kindness
New life dawns over my soul


I am so grateful that God never stops creating us. I was especially reminded of this as I spoke my final sermon at the church I've been serving at the for the last four years. Thank God that He never gives up or turns away from molding our hearts, minds and spirits when we're surrendered to Him.

Thank You God and FBC for the last four years.

Here's the sermon if you want to give it a listen...
