Come and Stand Amazed - (Citizens//The Modern Post cover)

People like Zach Bolen and Dustin Kensrue have done some amazing things with old texts and songs. Bands like Citizens and The Modern Post were bands I used to pull from when I regularly led worship. I haven't posted on this channel in a while, I've truthfully been through a huge rollercoaster for the last year. The last vlog I did was before what I would learn would be the hardest thing I could every go through. I though divorce would be the worst, the following months led to so much worse things.
I won't get into all of it, I can just say that I've wrestled with suffering, God, faith, doubt, bitterness, and openness. I have moments where the Divine still get to my heart and lead me to be open again.

Come and stand amazed, you people,
See how God is reconciled!
See his plans of love accomplished,
See his gift, this newborn child.
See the Mighty, weak and tender,
See the Word who now is mute.
See the Sovereign without splendor,
See the Fullness destitute
See how humankind received him;
See him wrapped in swaddling bands,
Who as Lord of all creation
Rules the wind by his commands.
See him lying in a manger
Without sign of reasoning;
Word of God to flesh surrendered,
He is wisdom's crown, our King.
O Lord Jesus, God incarnate,
Who assumed this humble form,
Counsel me and let my wishes
To your perfect will conform.
Light of life, dispel my darkness,
Let your frailty strengthen me;
Let your meekness give me boldness,
Let your burden set me free;
O Emmanuel, my savior
Let your death be life for me.
