Crazy-Ben Rector
Ben Rector doesn't write a bad song, but I think this is my favorite of all the good ones. I don't know if I've ever been able to relate to a song so well before!

Read MoreTo repeat what my friend Hannah said about this artist, she's totally wrecking me. Simply put, her songs are Gospel. I can't stop listening, because it feels like Jesus is romancing me through these songs.
Read MoreI'd say this song reminds me a little bit of our love story. We didn't quite see our romance coming, but once it happened, it derailed all of our other so called plans.
Read MoreToday kicks off my birthday week! It's slightly confusing because it's still February and my birthday is in March, but that's just the way this week works out! All week I will be sharing some of my very favorite things, beginning with my favorite worship songs!
Read MoreI'm sharing "my song" with you today, because I just don't know that there is a song out there with sweeter or more pure sentiments. I'm hoping that you will share it with the someone that drifts into your mind when these lyrics make their way into your heart.
Read MoreSweet, sweet hymn. Also, easier said than done, right? It sounds simple! Trust and obey! Just two things, but for us humans it's hard to do even just those two things.
Read MoreThank you Lord, for being faithful, when I, a wandering sheep, didn't even notice your presence. Remind me daily of your faithfulness, keep it at the forefront of my mind and may my every action be made in light of this truth: You are faithful and Your plan for me is good. In the precious name of your son, Jesus, Amen.

I'm telling it to you through this blog and as M. Craig Barnes says in his book, Sacred Thirst, "[Life] is defined by the God who loves you. In other words, you are not the central character, not even of your own life's story. This is not meant to demean you; it is meant to set you free".
This is why we are debtors to Grace. Because He made the first move! While dead in my sin, I would never have been able to see or feel my need for Him. That's just how bad off I was. So He came looking for me. He wounded me with a longing to know Him and because He is kind, He continues to pursue me. This has been blowing my mind lately so this hymn has been a place of prayer and worship for my soul. I hope the truth found in this song bring the same enlightenment and thankfulness to your spirit as well.
Read MoreI have always loved this old hymn, but somehow over the last month or so it has become my anthem.
I have sought out it's haunting harmonies and empowering lyrics repeatedly and sing it prayerfully with tears in my eyes.
The artist from this recording penned a very vulnerable and beautiful blog post about this song's significance to her.
I found it so relatable, so touching, that I have re-posted it here.
