waterdeep

i utterly love the band Waterdeep, along with the couple who makes up the core of the band - Don and Lori Chaffer.  There is much depth to their lyrics in looking into the brokenness of life and how God enters in, but yet their songs aren't just the same old Christian song that sounds like every other.  It's creative and musically awesome - vocally, lyrically, instrumentally...so great. I want to see them in concert. They have a CD called "Live from Muncie, IN".  For those of you who don't know, that is about 2 hours from my hometown...oh if I had been a Waterdeep fan then! Bummer...but my time will come :) I was listening to the song "He Will Come" when i posted this. It's not one of my favorite songs as far as the overall sound is concerned, but I really enjoy the lyrics as it touches on what God has been doing in my life. 

It also reminds me of what Eric preached on yesterday from 2 Corinthians 1. Our God is the Father of compassion and the God of All Comfort.  I'm stoked for heaven because while God does deliver us from, in, and through things in life (I appreciate the different ways of delivering - very helpful Eric!), heaven is going to be the ultimate deliverance.  We will no longer be stuck in this broken world but will get to BE...stop, rest, and just live with God.  No more darkness, no more fighting, just full freedom.  What an awesome day that will be.

Everyone's Beautiful

He Will Come

by Don Chaffer and Lori Chaffer

Soon it will be hammered into what she calls her silly head
That she really isn’t silly but she’s beautiful instead

But every time she gets a hold of something pretty, it slips away
So she keeps hoping that someday soon

CHORUS

He will come. He will come
He will comfort all that’s hardened
Change the deserts into gardens
And we all will see His face.
He will come. He will come.
He will soften all the starkness
Break the chambers of our darkness
And we’ll all be overwhelmed

She spilled her coffee in her Chevy on the way to work at 8:05
She always thought that she was clumsy and she hated it and wondered why

She can handle any tragedy that happens but not little things like this
So she keeps hoping that someday soon

CHORUS

Within the world of a girl, the words she hears they mean an awful lot
And the music in her mind when she gets older has the lyrics she was taught

And when she gets to heaven all the right things will be said
And He will look on her with favor

CHORUS

All my scars will turn to fountains
All my valleys into mountains
And we all will see His face

All you watchmen lift your voices
Then every boy and girl rejoices
when we’ll all be overwhelmed
