One morning I drove down the beach in a pretty melancholy state. To be honest, I had been pretty dead for a while. Something was playing on the radio and I was not really paying attention to the water or the sky when suddenly I looked up to see God shining a beautiful, distinct circle of light beaming through the dark clouds. I immediately remembered God and wanted to hear something beautiful to accompany this beautiful scene. I reached over for the CD case and it fell open in my hand the page of the exact CD that had run through my mind when I saw God’s open window. I listened and wept as God reminded me that He was still walking with me. Even on a cloudy day.
Come broken and weary. Come battered and bruised.
My Jesus makes all things new, all things new.
Come lost and abandoned. Come blown by the wind.
He’ll bring you back home again, home again.
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake, the light of the dawn is upon you.
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake, he makes all things new.
Come frozen with shame. Come burning with guilt.
My Jesus, he loves you still, he loves you still.
*Lyrics from Andrew Peterson’s “All Things New” on Resurrection Letters, Vol. II.
