A Stream.....



Our worship leader at church today said something that stuck with me. She was talking about our progression in worship...growth....and gave the example of a river. Sometimes it is rushing and tripping over rocks, even a down pour over a waterfall and sometimes it is like a lazy river, still, flowing slow, but yet still flowing....still growing.

And I was encouraged. At times I feel like I have made no progress at all, or are still struggling with the same old thing. But then I can trust God, that He will complete that which concerns me....and it is Him all the time working in me. Not up to me.

Why does He love me so? Why does He not give up on me? There are these three Amy Grant songs from her second In Concert CD...that really touch me. That He loved me, when no one else (except my mom and dad) would give me the time of day.... And what a difference He has made in my life. And each day..I want Him to fill me with His love again.


You gave me time
When no one gave me time of day
You looked deep inside
While the rest of the world looked away
You smiled at me
When there weren't just friends everywhere
You gave me love
When nobody gave me a prayer

That's why I call you Savior
That's why I call You friend'
Cause You touched my heart
You touched my soul
And helped me start all over again
That's why I love You Jesus
That's why I'll always care
'Cause You gave me love
When nobody gave me a prayer

You gave me laughter
After I'd cried all my tears
You heard my dreams
While the rest of the world just closed its ears
I looked in Your eyes and I found such tenderness there
'Cause You gave me love
When nobody gave me a prayer

That's why I call you Savior
That's why I call You friend'
Cause You touched my heart
You touched my soul
And helped me start all over again
And that's why I love You Jesus
That's why I'll always care'
Cause You gave me love
When nobody gave me a prayer

Yes He gives us love
When nobody gives us a prayer...

What a difference You've made in my life
What a difference You've made in my life
You're my sunshine day and night
Oh, what a difference You've made in my life

What a change You have made in my heart
What a change You have made in my heart
You replaced all the broken parts
Oh, what a change You have made in my heart.

Love to me was just a word in a song
That had been way overused
But You gave love a meaning
So I joined in the singing
That's why I want to spread the news
What a difference You've made in my life
What a difference You've made in my life
You're my sunshine day and night
Oh, what a difference You've made (what a difference You've made)
What a difference You've made in my life
What a difference You've made in my life
What a difference You've made in my life
You're my sunshine day and night
What a difference You've made(What a difference You've made in my life)

What a difference You've made in my life(What a difference You've made in my life)
Difference You've made in my life(You're my sunshine day and night)
What a difference you've made(What a difference You've made in my life)
Difference You've made in my life(What a difference You've made in my life)
You're my sunshine day and nightWhat a difference You've made(What a difference You've made in my life)
You've made a difference in me(What a difference You've made in my life)
You've made a change in my life(You're my sunshine day and night)

But there are so many
Who don't know the reason
Their lives are wasting away
Just souls without purpose
They wonder in darkness
Without a thought for the day
Well, I'm no Savior
I'm just a window
Through which Your sweet love light can shine
So clean out the corners of my darkened pane
And fill me with Your love again

Fill me with Your love again
Fill me with Your love again
I open my heart and soul for you to enter me
And fill me with Your love again

Fill me with Your love again
Fill me with Your love again
I open my heart and soul for you to enter me
And fill me with Your love again
I open my heart and soul for you to enter me

And fill me with Your love again


You Gave me Love
What a Difference You’ve made in me my life.
Fill me with your love again.

All Performed by Amy Grant on her In Convert TWO CD.
