The Glorious Impossible


"Glorious Impossible" - Carl Cartee



See the Virgin is delivered
In a cold and crowded stall
Mirror of the Father's glory
Lies beside her in the straw

He is Mercy's incarnation
Marvel at this miracle!
For the Virgin gently holds
The Glorious Impossible

Love has come to walk on water
Turn the water into wine
Touch the leper, bless the children
Love both human and divine

Praise the wisdom of the Father
Who has spoken through His Son
Speaking still, He calls us to
The Glorious Impossible

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Glorious Impossible

He was bruised for our transgressions
And He bears eternal scars
He was raised for our salvation
And His righteousness is ours

Praise, oh praise Him, praise the glory
Of this lavish grace so full
Lift your souls now and receive the
Glorious Impossible!

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Glorious Impossible

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Glorious Impossible
Glorious Impossible

Praise, oh praise Him, praise the glory
Of this lavish grace so full
Lift your souls now and receive
The Glorious Impossible

Glory, Hallelujah
Glory, Hallelujah
Glory, Hallelujah
Glory, Hallelujah
Glory, Hallelujah
Glory, Hallelujah
Glory, Hallelujah

Whiter Than Snow


Psalm 51:7
King James Version (KJV)
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.


I uploaded a song to YouTube today called "Winter Snow."   It's a lovely song by Chris Tomlin featuring Audrey Assad.   Thinking about snow reminded me of the old hymn "Whiter Than Snow," and  I found Kathyrnne's precious version.  I pray that she'll grow into the truth of this hymn.  I pray that for myself as well.

Kathrynne's rendition of "Whiter Than Snow"



Whiter Than Snow

1. Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole;
I want Thee forever to live in my soul.
Break down every idol, cast out every foe
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

2. Lord Jesus, look down from Your throne in the skies
And help me to make a complete sacrifice.
I give up myself and whatever I know
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

3. Lord Jesus, for this I most humbly entreat;
I wait, blessed Lord, at Thy crucified feet.
By faith, for my cleansing I see Your blood flow
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

4. Lord Jesus, before You I patiently wait;
Come now and within me a new heart create.
To those who have sought You, You never said "No"
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

Chorus:
Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

Welcome To Our World

Bringing Home the Tree

Dad, 
I'm remembering how you used to take us all out into the woods to cut down our Christmas tree.   How you got your entire brood to settle on one tree, I don't know.   God must give fathers the wisdom of Solomon for such times.   I don't ever remember coming home unhappy, cold and damp, yes, unhappy, no.
