The Ghosts of Past, Present, and Future

Okay, it's one ghost. Ghost, actually, or Spirit, as some people feel more comfortable calling Him. In any case, God has been with us in the past, is with us in the present, and definitely holds the future in His capable hands. This song is by one of my favorite artists and I'd like to share it with you, since it's been my heart cry the last few weeks. It is "Lord (I Don't Know)." How human it is not to know. What can we do but cry for peace from the Author of our life story?

You are the author of knowledge
You can redeem what's been done
You hold the present and all that's to come
Until your everlasting kingdom

Lord, I don't know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead me to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt

You are the God of tomorrow
Turning the darkness to dawn
Lifting the hopeless with hope to go on
You are the rock of all salvation

Lord, I don't know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead me to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt

Oh, Lord, you are the author
Redeeming what's been done
You hold us in the present
And all that is to come

Lord, we don't know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead us to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt

  1. Ah, the Newsboys, and this song in particular, has been the recurring soundtrack of my life for the past five years. I remember singing this song quite loudly in my classroom when the rest of the teachers were gone and I was preparing for the next day.

    I had no clue where everything was going, but it did. The things that seemed to make the least sense, in retrospect, fit perfectly.

    The mountains I've crossed in seemingly impenetrable mist give me the assurance that God DOES hold the present and all that is to come...

    UNTIL HIS EVERLASTING KINGDOM! :D

    Keep asking Him, chickie. He'll answer. He's just too wild to chose the paths we might. For good reason, we usually find.

    Love you!
