Everything Glorious

What's up folks? I just got back from Indianaplolis. I was attending the Southern Baptist Convention as a Page. I got to run around and make copies of important papers and do odd jobs here and there. As boring as this sounds it was an AMAZING experience because not only was I able to visit a cool city but I was able to meet some really neat people. But anywho. I was traveling on a small 15 passasnger bus from North Greenville University. It was a very bumpy and long trip but on the way we went straight through the Appalachian Mountains. As we were riding I couldn't help but be reminded of a song written by David Crowder. (yes i am a huge fanatic of David Crowder) This past year he won a Dove award for the song Everything Glorious as the best Rock/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year. the lyrics to the song are

The day is brighter here with You
The night is lighter than its hue
Would lead me to believe
Which leads me to believe

(chorus)You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And I am Yours
What does that make me?

My eyes are small but they have seen
the beauty of enormous things
Which leads me to believe
there's light enough to see that

(chorus)You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And I am Yours

From glory to glory
You are glorious You are glorious
From glory to glory
You are glorious. You are glorious
Which leads me to believe
why I can believe that

You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And I am Yours
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And I am Yours

From glory to glory From glory to glory
You are glorious. You are glorious.
You are glorious. You are glorious.

and as i was riding i was able to see the amazing creation that god has made, and i was awestruck by the enormity and heinousness of the mountatins and landscape. These huge figures aren't something that someone simply looks and at and goes "yea that's cool". They are something that you stand and look at in mere wonderment and if your like me you can't stop starring. It was soo easy to see how God truely does make everything glorious. It seems that everytime I visit the mountains I am reminded of the vastsness and huge character of God. He made everything that I see and it IS glorious. This gives me hope that even when my days aren't going great or things are tough in life, God makes everything glorious. He makes the day brighter and the night lighter. This can lead me to believe that he makes everything glorious.

Another part of this song that struck me was the line "What does that make me?' I think what Crowder was trying to get across was that when we can wrap our small minds around the fact that GOD makes everything glorious (and not us) then we are left with the question "What does that make me?" We realize that its not about us and it is all about the one who is glorious and the creator of the universe, the maker of all that is good. This is mainly what I got out of this song and experience in the mountains. that when we realize God makes everything and we are small with small eyes and small minds and small bodies then we will be left in question of who we are and the answer to this question is that we are nothing when it comes to the enormity of God and we must die to ourselves and submit our renewed minds to the one who makes everything glorous!!!

Coming Soon
