I've discovered a new band and a new song in particular which have really been impactful to me lately. The band is called Gungor, which is lead by a husband/wife duo located out of Denver, Colorado. I like the ecclectic sound and the thoughtful lyrics on this album. But the song Beautiful Things caught me completely off guard the first time I heard it. I mean, I liked it right away, but it also stopped me in my tracks while I just soaked it in and cried a bit. The chorus simply goes, "You make beautiful things out of the dust. You make beautiful things out of us." It just hit me that out of this "mess" of a year--a year of anxiety, fear of the unknown, financial stress and death, God can still make something beautiful. He takes our broken pieces and puts them back together into a beautiful mosaic-- something we couldn't have put together ourselves, but instead something born of our ultimate Creator.
Even though I can't see it yet, God, I know you are putting the pieces back together. And I know it will be beautiful.
Check out the youtube video for the live version of Beautiful Things here and the band's website here. I've included the lyrics below.
Beautiful Things
by Gungor
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
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
You make beautiful things
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
You make me new, You are making me new
You are making me new
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
You make beautiful things
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
You make me new, You are making me new
