Words of Wisdom

Sometimes I wonder where Natalie gets the inspiration from some of her songs... I know that one of my favorites by her was actually partly written by Matthew West (not you, other matt, the famous one.. haha) I was going to quote some of the lines that really were an impact to me.. but as you read these lyrics... it's really hard to key out a certain one. It's very honest, which is what makes her work impact so many people. It's hard to be honest or real in todays society, because we convince ourselves that when we're honest we could lose everything. Friends, family, trust, money, time, minds, bodies and even God. But nothing we could ever say or do can impact Gods perfection. He lived and died, gave us life, and heals hearts when they're broken. No matter where we are, where we've been, what we've done, or what we could ever do can take away his love and forgiveness. My life may be hurting and my heart might be breaking, but in no way can I ever give God the credit for another humans imperfections, I love God, and I know that he brings us through the pain and troubles of our lives. always.

Before Natalie Grant sang this song she quoted this piece of scripture

Isaiah 29:13-14

These people make a big show of saying the right thing.
But their hearts aren’t in it.
Because they act like they’re worshiping me
But don’t mean it.

I’m going to step in and shock them awake,
Astonish them, stand them on their ears.

The wise ones who had it all figured out will be exposed as fools.
The smart people who thought they knew everything will turn out to know nothing.



Never let him see you when your breaking
Never let him see you when you fall
Thats How We Live
And Thats How We Try

Tell The world you've got it all together
You never let him see what's underneath
We cover it up
with the crooked smile
but it only lasts for a little while

there's no such thing as perfect people
there no such thing as a perfect life
so come as you are, broken and scarred
lift up your heart and be amazed, and be changed
by a perfect god

Suddenly its like a weight is lifted
when you hear the words that you are loved
he knows where you are
and were you've been
and you never have to go there again

theres no such thing as perfect people
theres no such thing as a perfect life
so come as you are, broken and scarred
lift up your heart and be amazed and be changed
by a perfect god

Who lived, and died, to give you life
to heal our inperfections
so look up, and see love, and let grace be enough

There no such thing as perfect people
YEAAA
tehren's no such thing as a perfect life
So come as you are, broken and scarred
lift up your heart and be amazed and be changed
by a perfect god
by a perfect god
by a perfect god
yyeaaa
by a perfect god
be changed by a perfect god
be changed

The Lyrics have it.

I'm really glad God has gifted Natalie Grant... because i'm here to tell you... I don't know what I would do with out the bible and the lyrics to some of her songs. I'm a strong indepentant woman and I will not be moved. So as you read these lyrics you have a glimpse of my heart for a moment... I am strong and I love people and I love God... no one can take that away from me.

I have been the wayward child*I have acted out*I have questioned Sovereignty*And had my share of doubt*
And though sometimes my prayers feel like*They're bouncing off the sky*The hand I hold won't let me go*And is the reason why...

I will stumble*I will fall down*But I will not be moved*I will make mistakes*I will face heartache*But I will not be moved*On Christ the Solid Rock I stand*All other ground is sinking sand*I will not be moved*

Bitterness has plagued my heart*Many times before*My life has been like broken glass*And I have kept the score*Of all my shattered dreams and though it seemed*That I was far too gone*My brokenness helped me to see*It's grace I'm standing on*

I will stumble*I will fall down*But I will not be moved*I will make mistakes*I will face heartache*But I will not be moved*On Christ the Solid Rock I stand*All other ground is sinking sand*I will not be moved*

And the chaos in my life*Has been a badge I've worn*Though I have been torn*I will not be moved*I will not be moved*I will not be moved*I will make mistakes*I will face heartache*But I will not be moved*On Christ the Solid Rock I stand*All other ground is sinking sand*

I will not be moved*I will not be moved
