i am amazed

Christ is Risen!

i love how every year i am once again struck and amazed by how much God loves me and how much God did to redeem the world.

this is a song i heard on the radio today and because i like to apply love songs to God and i was already thinking of God's love, i thought this was an appropriate song to sing to our Lord today (with a few minor modifications... i don't generally call God 'baby').

maybe i’m amazed at the way you love me all the time
maybe i’m afraid of the way i love you
maybe i’m amazed at the the way you pulled me out of time
maybe i’m amazed at the way i really need you

maybe i’m a man (read human!)
and maybe i’m a lonely man
who’s in the middle of something
that he dosen’t really understand
i’m a man and maybe you’re the only One
who could ever help me
please won’t you help me to understand

maybe i’m a man
and maybe i’m a lonely man
who’s in the middle of something
that he dosen’t really understand
i’m a man and maybe you’re the only One
who could ever help me
won’t you help me understand

maybe i’m amazed at the way you’re with me all the time
maybe i’m afraid of the way i leave you
i’m amazed at the way you help me sing my song
you right me when i’m wrong
maybe i’m amazed at the way i really need you
