This is His design



Starry Night by Chris August
From the Birds that Sing, In the Tallest Trees.
To the Human Life, of you and me.
From the Desert Sands, to the place we stand.
He is God of All, He is Everything.

I'm giving my life to the only one who makes the Moon reflect the sun.
Every Starry Night, that was His design.
I'm giving my life to the only son, who was and is and yet to come
Let the praises ring, 'cause he is everything
'Cause he is everything

From the Autumn Leaves, that will ride the breeze
To the Faith it takes, to pray and sing
From the Painted sky, to my plank filled eye
He is God of all, He is everything

I'm giving my life to the only one who makes the Moon reflect the sun.
Every Starry Night, that was His design.
I'm giving my life to the only son, who was and is and yet to come
Let the praises ring, 'cause he is everything.

Ohhhhhhh (everything)
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah
I believe
Ohhh
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah
I believe

I'm giving my life to the only one who makes the Moon reflect the sun
On that Starry Night, He changed my life.
I'm giving it all to the only son who gave me hope when I had none.
So let the praises ring,

Ohhhh Let the Praises Ring

I'm giving my life to the only one who makes the Moon reflect the sun.
Every Starry Night, that was His design.
I'm giving my life to the only son, who was and is and yet to come
and the Angels sing, that he is Heavenly

So let the Praises ring
'Cause he everything

Listening to the radio in a car on the way to church to prepare a farewell party for a friend,
a familiar tune caught my attention earlier tonight.
 
Starry Night by Christ August
 
I must have heard this song many times on the radio in a car after Sunday School,
because I don't have this song in my itunes and I don't listen to the radio unless I'm in a car.
 
We encounter so many different things in our lives that often times, we don't get to appreciate our surroundings as much as we really should.
It wasn't until today(by that I mean Friday night) that I really listened to the lyrics and really appreciated the song.
I've known the chorus part a bit, but I don't think I ever really tried to listen and sing it with my heart.
 
Ah, what a beautiful confession...
 
I like the night sky. I like the stars and the moonlight.
I like the silence and the stillness of the nature after 3 am in the morning.
 
"I'm giving my life to the only one who makes the Moon reflect the sun.

Every Starry Night, that was His design.
On that Starry Night, He changed my life.
I'm giving my life to the only son, who was and is and yet to come
and the Angels sing, that he is Heavenly
I'm giving it all to the only son who gave me hope when I had none.

So let the praises ring."

His design. His beautiful and perfect design beyond my comprehension.

Life is hectic - filled with troubles. ups and downs; rollercoaster.
People are interesting - unique and different in one way or the other
It's interesting that all these strangers meet, be friends, trust, share, love, and live on their lives.
There is nothing in this world that's not His design.
He is everything and everywhere.
He is the only one who is faithful and unchanging; everlasting.

We change.
No matter where we are, what we are doing, how we've changed...
He remains the same God.

The Father I met yesterday is the Father I meet today, and the Father I will meet tomorrow.
The Father I meet at home is the Father I meet in my dorm, and the Father I will meet anywhere else.

There is no word that can justly proclaim how amazing, awesome, and perfect He is.

Listening to Starry Night and be moved suddenly tonight is His plan as well.
Thank you Father for a beautiful starry night.

By His love I've become a new creation; give it all to Him and let the praises ring.


PS. Only ironic thing would be there was no stars on the sky last night - snow.
But it's okay. Stars aren't the only beautiful creation that He made for us as reminders of His love.
