Hillsong UNITED

OK so I neglected to write yesterday about my amazing experience Wednesday night and because I left you guys hanging for a whole day, let me make it up to you...

Free Coffee and Coupons at Borders

Yep that's right...go have a cup of coffee on me(in a sense) haha!

Now, on to the experience. Wednesday night I got to go see Hillsong United in concert!! >that's a big deal so you can gasp if you want. I mean I did<

It was the most incredible experience to worship in an amphitheater with several hundred people. Hands were raised, people were jumping around, voices were lifted without concern for who was watching and God was there...He even put on a little light show for us :)

A storm blew through around the middle of the concert bringing bold flashes of lighting and intense vibrating thunder. Now, I'm not much for standing out in the middle of a storm since there's that whole 'getting struck by lighting thing' but this was different. I wasn't worried one bit because I was standing in the middle of beauty and I knew that God was watching over each of us. He just wanted us to see how amazing He was by showing off a little :)

If you have the opportunity to go see Hillsong United while they're in the states, DO IT! It's an experience you will never forget!!

I see Your face in every sunrise
The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You’re beautiful

I see Your power in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
We are amazed in the light of the stars
It’s all proclaiming who You are
You’re beautiful, You're beautiful

I see you there hanging on a tree
You bled and then you died and then you rose again for me
Now you are sitting on Your heavenly throne
Soon we will be coming home
You’re beautiful, you're beautiful

When we arrive at eternity’s shore
Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
We’ll enter in as the wedding bells ring
Your bride will come together and we’ll sing
You’re beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful

I see Your face, You're beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
