AFTERMATH


There is this song by Hillsong United called AFTERMATH. This song has been tugging at my heart for the past month. In fact, it's on repeat in my car. I felt the need to look up what "aftermath" meant.



af·ter·math

  [af-ter-math, ahf-]  
noun
1.
something that results or follows from an event, especially one of a disastrous or unfortunate natureconsequence: theaftermath of war; the aftermath of the flood.



You know even through the affects of an AFTERMATH, GOD IS WITH US! YOU have to KNOW that HE is with you EVERY step of the way. His love will light the way...It's a daily process, don't rush it. Allow the aftermath (results) to happen and lean on Him.


THE GREATER THE BATTLE, THE GREATER THE VICTORY!!!


AFTERMATH by Hillsong United
[Verse 1:]
The skies lay low where You are
On the earth You rest Your feet
Yet the hands that cradle the stars
Are the hands that bled for me
[Chorus 1:]
In a moment of glorious surrender
You were broken for all the world to see
Lifted out of the ashes
I am found in the aftermath
[Verse 2:]
Freedom found in Your scars
In Your grace my life redeemed
For You chose to take the sinner's crown
As You placed Your crown on me
[Chorus 2:]
In that moment of glorious surrender
Was the moment You broke the chains in me
Lifted out of the ashes
I am found in the aftermath
And in that moment You opened up the heavens
To the broken the beggar and the thief
Lifted out of the wreckage
I find hope in the aftermath
[Bridge:]
And I know that You're with me
Yes I know that You're with me here
And I know Your love will light the way
[Chorus 3:]
Now all I have I count it all as loss
But to know You and to carry the cross
Knowing I'm found
In the light of the aftermath
