I was kinda bummed this morning--financial stuff again. I suppose it's nothing that hasn't happened before, and may happen again--I've screwed up my bank account again. It's amazing how one missed entry can throw you off so very badly. Anyway, so that's got me (or rather, had me) freakin' out just a little bit. I think I'm better now that I've figured out what went wrong, but there are some consequences that will probably be echoing for a while as a result. It sucks, especially at Christmas, but I guess I just gotta trust that God will work it out somehow. So anyway, when I get really bummed and freakish, I try to play something uplifting on the CD player at work to help me calm down and put things in perspective. Today's choice was "Revival in Belfast", a Hosanna worship CD with Robin Mark. One song in particular is always good to soothe the savage beast--it's called, "When It's All Said and Done", and it helped so much today that I thought I'd share the lyrics:
When it's all been said and done There is just one thing that matters Did I do my best to live for truth Did I live my life for You When it's all been said and done All my treasures will mean nothing Only what I've done for love's reward Will stand the test of time
Lord Your mercy is so great That You look beyond our weakness And find purest gold in miry clay Making sinners into saints
I will always sing Your praise Here on earth and ever after For You've shown me Heaven's my true home When it's all been said and done You're my life when life is gone Lord I'll live my life for You
