Wise Words on Wednesday: Working things out

“Things work out best for those who make the best of how things work out.”
John Wooden
"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine

“Things work out best for those who make the best of how things work out.”

Bring your worry, grief and pain
Every cause you have for shame
lay it all down, lay it all down
When your cares have buried you
and there’s nothing left to do
lay it all down lay it all down
at the feet of jesus, at the feet of jesus
Carried on but your heart was tired
Feared the worst and felt the fire
lay it all down, lay it all down
Filled with all those anxious thoughts
all your doubts became your god
lay it all down, lay it all down
at the feet of jesus, at the feet of jesus
Lay it all down
Lay it all down
Lay it all down
Lay it all down
at the feet of Jesus
at the feet of Jesus
When we’ve given up on better days
there are memories we can’t erase
lay it all down, lay it all down
We’ve come to fear what we can’t explain
there’s nothing here that can ease the pain
lay it all down, lay it all down
at the feet of Jesus, at the feet of Jesus

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

I was down on my luck, I was stuck
I was running ’round broken-hearted
I was sinking so fast
I couldn’t last falling apart
And You could’ve ran away
Leaving me there in my shame
Leaving me fighting my pain
But You made a better way
Oh, oh, oh
I’ve been saved
Goodbye to the sinner, I’m held by the Father above
No more shame, for
I’m out of the desert and drowned in the power of love
Amazing grace, my soul set free
Ain’t no grave, got a hold on me
I’m born again, born again
Washed by the water, I’m clean
My eyes have been open
You’re showing me all of my life in a new light
Every step, every breath
Like it’s the first time
You could’ve ran away
Leaving me there in my shame
Leaving me fighting my pain
But You made a better way
Oh, oh, oh
I’ve been saved
Goodbye to the sinner, I’m held by the Father above
No more shame, for
I’m out of the desert and drowned in the power of love
Amazing grace, my soul set free
Ain’t no grave, got a hold on me
I’m born again, born again
Washed by the water, I’m clean
Preacher told me the good, good news (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Went way down deep in the river blue (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Preacher told me the good, good news (oh-oh, oh-oh)
And ever since my heart met You
I’ve been saved
Goodbye to the sinner, I’m held by the Father above
No more shame
For I’m out of the desert and drowned in the power of love
Amazing grace, my soul set free
Ain’t no grave, got a hold on me (no, no, no)
I’m born again, born again
Washed by the water, I’m clean (yeah)
(Washed by the water, I’m washed by the water
Washed by the water, I’m washed by the water)
Amazing grace, my soul set free
Ain’t no grave, got a hold on me
I’m born again, born again
Washed by the water, I’m clean
