angel in disguise

I woke up this morning feeling kind of blue
and i stumbled out of bed and
dragged my feet across the room
Right outside my front door was a rose
and a note that said 'Somebody loves you'

But out on the street it starts to pour
and before i get soaking wet,
A total stranger runs to give me
the jacket off his back
I turn around to thank him
But he waves me with a smile
I can hardly believe my eyes
He puts on a halo and starts to fly

Take a look at the ordinary
Dont need to look for paradise
You could be next to an angel in disguise

I met a good friend for lunch
and we had a delicious meal
But i forgot to bring my wallet
I felt like an imbecile
But she was sweet, she gave me a treat and
Bought me a chicken sandwich
To take home for tea

But out of the street with nothing to eat
A man and his shopping cart go
Travelling to places
Collecting social graces
I give him my sandwich
and we chatted for a while
I see a rainbow wash over his eyes
He gives me his halo and
I start to fly

Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for paradise
You could be next to an angel in disguise
Don't try to hide away from me
I know you're by my side

Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for Paradise
You could be next to
an angel in disguise
Everyday can be legendary
Every minute, an endless surprise
You could be the next angel in disguise

I woke up this morning
Feeling kind of new.

yaye claps for corrinne may! (: feels so nice to wake up each morning and blast her on my cd player and remind myself that its a beautiful day, because its a day the Lord has made -wink ;)

went to talk to pastor mitch with rie yesterday and i guess it really helped put things into perspective and realise that everything takes time, but the Lord can be our strength, our fortress, shield, tower and stronghold [psalm18] (: and thats one of the biggest things i appreciate about bethany cos youre never on your own. there are always friends to cry on, older ones to guide and give advice and always warmth and familiarity. everyday can be legendary, every minute an endless surprise. haha think what i've been reading recently has been extremely apt for the circumstances i've been finding myself in lately. first the devotion from 'come before winter' about learning to trust God in both prosperity and adversity, and pastor mitch's youth section in sunday's bulletin about being prepared for trials. guess it is true that you dont realise that Jesus is all you need until Jesus is all you've got. am learning to trust, to seek and to be still-

from sunday's message:

God

There is an Eye that never sleeps
Beneath the wing of night;
There is an Ear that never shuts
When sinks the beams of light.

There is an Arm that never tires
When human strength gives way;
There is a Love that never fails
When earthly loves decays.

That Eye unseen watcheth o'er all;
That Arm upholds the sky;
That Ear doth hear the sparrows call;
That Love is ever nigh.

- James Cowden Wallace -

i dont want to concern myself with great things, i just want to learn simple trust as i walk beside Him with my hand in His. to set my heart on things above and recognise the reason why i study so hard. always, only, for my King. (:
