This is overwhelmingly perfect

How is it that The Undoing by Steffany Gretzinger continues to undo me no matter how many times I listed to it? It's a direct connection to an intimate conversation that I couldn't share completely even if I tried. My tongue is slightly tied, my mind is racing, and my heart is overwhelmed with love and an abundance of grace. What do I do with this grace? I don't deserve it. I am filthy and He is perfect. I am flawed and He is stained glass that shines beauty despite what the world has tried to make of Him. He never grows weary or looks on me with distaste. How is this so? My mind can't comprehend that kind of unconditional love.

I will never grow weary of this love. So many times I have been in a position where I can't bear any more and simultaneously can't possibly have enough. It's a mystery of beautiful disasters colliding with perfection overflowing.

So today I am resting. I can't fathom this gift. I can't possibly give back enough. I couldn't possibly be happier and more broken at the same time. God is good, all the time.



Come out of hiding
You're safe here with Me
There's no need to cover
What I already see

You've got your reasons
But I hold your peace
You've been on lockdown
And I hold the key

'Cause I loved you before you knew it was love
And I saw it all, still I chose the cross
And you were the one that I was thinking of
When I rose from the grave

Now rid of the shackles, My victory's yours
I tore the veil for you to come close
There's no reason to stand at a distance anymore
You're not far from home

I'll be your lighthouse
When you're lost at sea
And I will illuminate
Everything

No need to be frightened
By intimacy
No, just throw off your fear
And come running to me.

'Cause I loved you before you knew it was love
And I saw it all, still I chose the cross
And you were the one that I was thinking of
When I rose from the grave

Now rid of the shackles, My victory's yours
I tore the veil for you to come close
There's no reason to stand at a distance anymore
You're not far from home
Keep on coming

And oh as you run
What hindered love
Will only become
Part of the story
Baby, you're almost home now
Please don't quit now
You're almost home to Me
