Song: Beautiful Things by Gungor

A few weeks ago as I was driving back from an event with my family when I heard this song for the first time (or at least really paid attention to it) and it hit home.  It is God alone who transforms us into something beautiful.  We all enjoy beautiful things around us from flowers, people, art, music, and so much more.

He can take my brokenness, failures, struggles, and transform them into something beautiful.  He can use those pieces of my life and allow me to make an impact on the lives of others.  With His help we CAN change and become something that is truly beautiful from the inside out.

God can take something as simple as dirt and turn it into something wonderfully beautiful.  Isn’t it encouraging to know that he can make us beautiful!  I really enjoy this song and especially love the simple reminder of the transformation that takes place in our hearts and lives when Christ is in the center.

All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all

All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

All around,
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
