In The Beginning: The many roles of Adam

12 comments

Which Pope said that?

I’m really pleased that the media is receptive to Pope Francis, but I am still a bit mystified as to their level of enthusiasm. Pope Francis is certainly more charismatic then Pope Benedict, but he was a shy introverted academic so that’s hardly a surprise! These Popes can’t simply be reduced to soundbites and appearances.

Music Monday: Steady my heart

Leave a comment

This week’s video is another one from Kari Jobe, “Steady my heart”:

VERSE 1
Wish it could be easy
Why is life so messy?
Why is pain a part of us?
There are days I feel like
Nothing ever goes right
Sometimes it just hurts so much

PRE-CHORUS
But You’re here
You’re real
I know I can trust You

CHORUS
Even when it hurts
Even when it’s hard
Even when it all just falls apart
I will run to You
‘Cause I know that You are
Lover of my soul
Healer of my scars
You steady my heart [x2]

VERSE 2
I’m not gonna worry
I know that You’ve got me
Right inside the palm of your hand
Each and every moment
What’s good and what gets broken
Happens just the way You plan

BRIDGE
And I will run to You
And find refuge in Your arms
And I will sing to You
‘Cause of everything You are

You steady my heart [x2]
