Dave and I spent Sunday night listening to Steven Curtis Chapman sing and share his family’s incredible journey… it was an awesome night and so encouraging.
Dave was incredibly impressed that I only cried once the entire time…during a video of Show Hope families uniting with their adopted kiddos. It was hard to watch all of those “airport moments” — the one we are so longing for — without tearing up.
So, I have to share another song with you all today. I don’t know why this blog is turning into a radio station lately but it just is. 🙂 I had never heard Jason Gray’s song, Nothing is Wasted, before Sunday night’s concert where he also performed.
Oh. It is good. There are so many of us walking through a valley right now. Hardships and heartaches seem to abound right now. No matter what you are enduring, this song will likely speak to your heart, as it did mine. It is such an awesome reminder that all of this will be redeemed. God will use all of it for good. No tear shed has gone unnoticed, my friends. None of this sorrow is wasted.
And left you trembling in the dark
Feeling lost and alone
Will tell you hope’s a lie
But what if every tear you cry
Will seed the ground where joy will grow
(chorus)
Nothing is wasted
Nothing is wasted
In the hands of our Redeemer
Nothing is wasted
It’s from the deepest wounds
That beauty finds a place to bloom
And you will see before the end
That every broken piece is
Gathered in the heart of Jesus
And what’s lost will be found again
(chorus)
Nothing is wasted
Nothing is wasted
In the hands of our Redeemer
Nothing is wasted
(Bridge)
When hope is more than you can bear
And it’s too hard to believe it could be true
And your strength fails you halfway there
You can lean on me and I’ll believe for you
And in time you will believe it too
(chorus)
Nothing is wasted
Nothing is wasted
Sometimes we are waiting
In sorrow we have tasted
But joy will replace it
Nothing is wasted
In the hands of our Redeemer
Nothing is wasted
