Rhythms Of Grace

I love music a lot! I listen to it all day eryyydaaayyy! Sometimes I fall asleep with it, but sometimes I think my headphones will choke me in my sleep so then I like hmmm better not, and take them out before I fall asleep.
I play the drums and have been since 7th grade! Anytime I am listing to a song I subconsciously start tapping to the song, which sometimes annoys me, sooo it probably annoys other people too so, sorry not sorry...haha

Rhythms Of Grace- Hillsong United
 My life is a light for Your cause
My will laid aside for Your call
And reserved are the depths of my heart
Only for You

I'm caught in the rhythms of grace
They overcome all of my ways
Realigning each step everyday
To live for Your glory

There's none beside You God
There's none beside You God

You're there in the dark of the night
While holding the sun and it's light
Through the triumph and trials alike
There's no-one beside You

Your voice called the stars by their name
'Cause You whispered them all to their place
To testify to Your wonder and praise
Both now and forever

There's none beside You God
There's none beside You God
I love my life to shine Your light
'Cause there's none beside You God

No eye has seen
No ear has heard
The depths of Your love, Lord
No mind can fathom
The love You deserve
How great You are

I am obsessed with this song right now, not because the drums are totally awesome in this song but what it means...... Like I said before I tap to the beat of a song, so a lot of times, I don't really pay any attention to what a song is saying, or what the song means. 
So I looked up "What does Rhythms Of Grace mean" found some cool stuff

When you hear the word rhythm we think of music. The rhythm section in a band, it lays the foundation for the song. When the rhythm in a song is flat, mistimed, or just doesn't fit with the flow of the song, it will throw everything off. The song would not be enjoyable. When you listen to a song that is not flat, or mistimed, and flows well, then you start to enjoy it.
Sooo God invites us to set our lives to a new beat, to live in His rhythms of grace.

I'm caught in the rhythms of grace
They overcome all of my ways
Realigning each step everyday
To live for Your glory

We no longer have to live in the rhythm of our mistakes, our brokenness, what has happened to us or what we have done. We now live in a different kind of rhythm -- the rhythm of what Christ has done for us on the cross. 

Matthew 11:28-30 (MSG)
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced RHYTHMS of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly."

In the rhythms of grace, all of our ways are overcome to now live for a greater purpose. 

Ephesians 2:8
Romans 5:6-8- God's ultimate act of grace was sending his son to save us.  
Romans 12:1-2 (MSG)- What it looks like in our lives. 


"If you've experienced even a glimpse of His love, of His grace,
His mercy and His faithfulness, then you have a song to sing."
- Joel Houston (Hillsong United)
