the riches of {Your love} will always be enough

A song I just cannot stop singing today or get out of my mind. A song that ironically I have heard in the wee hours of the morning on the way to medical appointments or the late hours of the afternoon coming home from it all, the cry of my heart to the One who alone is worthy, "my heart will sing, no other name... Jesus, Jesus..."

(It won't let me embed the official video and version I love way better, so here's the link to that one, and I'll post my backup below ;)

You are good, You are good / When there's nothing good in me
You are love, You are love / On display for all to see
You are light, You are light / When the darkness closes in
You are hope, You are hope /You have covered all my sin

You are peace, You are peace / When my fear is crippling
You are true, You are true / Even in my wandering
You are joy, You are joy / You're the reason that I sing
You are life, You are life / In You death has lost its sting

Oh, I’m running to Your arms,
I’m running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

You are more, You are more / Than my words will ever say
You are Lord, You are Lord / All creation will proclaim
You are here, You are here / In Your presence I'm made whole
You are God, You are God / Of all else I'm letting go

My heart will sing
no other Name
Jesus, Jesus

Now remain in my love.

A sampling of some of my most recent photographers whose work I have fallen in love with and while this post began with the verse and simply ONE picture, there were so many others I could not choose between that speak more than any words I could try to muster up here... images that capture the beauty of love this side of Heaven. Crazy to believe, it is true, as good as it is, it is but a SHADOW of a love that is so much greater. Of the One who tenderly speaks to my heart and whispers, "Now remain, my sweet child, in my love..." Where I can find peace. Life again. Rest. My refuge and my strength; where I can hide there safe in the shelter of Your wings.
