Free to Sing!!!
By Lisa Day, October 08, 2010
One of the greatest gifts God has given us is the freedom to be ourselves. Despite how we feel about ourselves, God never gives up on us. We are a work in progress.
We are also a song in progress. With great skill and ease, God continually weaves his magnificent words of hope into our hearts and wonderfully transforms our experiences into strong chords that blend together, and into a song that only we can sing. Our testimony becomes our very heartbeat, remaining the constant reminder that we are liberated by his mercy and grace. How cool is that?
Our son, Eliot, returned from Soul Survivor with renewed vision and energy. He said the song that made the most impression on him was You’re Beautiful by Phil Wickham.
Here’s a verse:
I see your face in every sunrise
The colours of the morning are inside your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say… You’re Beautiful
An amazing song from enlightened heart!
Fanny Crosby, despite being blind from infancy, became one of the greatest hymnists.
She wrote these powerful words:
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour, all the day long
Let’s remember that God, the great composer and architect is at work in us, creating a masterpiece, creating you!

Sandra, I loved this song from the minute I first heard it at Grapevine conference. It transported me to another time and place, when we rise up as the bride to meet our beautiful bridegroom.Hope to sing it in worship at Mosaic many times to come. It would be wonderful to be accompanied by a dance (as at Grapevine)
Thanks for your article
