Changed {Song by Jonathan}

 

Hey Sweet Friends!

Jonathan sang a song at church this morning that I wanted to share with you.  It’s a song by Rascal Flatts that he sang at the Ky Opry a few months ago.

I absolutely love this song.  Mostly because of the words.

It is a song that talks about a person who has been changed by the love of God.

It makes think of this verse…

God’s love is powerful and true.  If we give our lives to Him, He can take us and change is into a new creation.  We don’t have to stay the way we’ve always been.

God can change us.

So many of us are scared of change.  But let me promise you, the change that Christ can make in your life is better than anything you could ever imagine.

Giving your heart to Christ does not mean your life will be problem-free, or that you’ll have more money, or that you’ll get all the things you want.

What it means is that He will fill your heart with the things you need the most:  Peace, Love, Faith, Hope, Joy.

Those are things the world cannot take away.

I’m praising God for the changes he continues to do in my life.  And I pray that you would give your life to Him as well so you can experience the change of Our Father’s love.

CHANGED

(Gary LeVox, Wendell Mobley, Neil Thrasher)

I came up out of the water
Raised my hands up the the father
Gave it all to him that day
Felt a new wind kiss my face

Walked away eyes wide open
Could finally see where I was going
It didn’t matter where I’d been
I’m not the same man I was then

I got off track I made mistakes
Back slid my way into that place
Where souls get lost lines get crossed
And the pain won’t go away
I hit my knees now here I stand
There I was now here I am here I am
Changed

I got a lot of hey I’m sorry’s
The things I’ve done man that was not me
I wish that I could take it all back
I just want to tell ’em that, tell ’em that

I got off track I made mistakes
Back slid my way into that place
Where souls get lost lines get crossed
And the pain won’t go away
I hit my knees now here I stand
There I was now here I am here I am

I’ve changed for the better
More smile less bitter
I’m even starting to forgive myself
Yes I am

I hit my knees now here I stand
There I was now here I am here I am here I am
I’m changed
Yes, I am
Here I am
I’m changed for the better
Here I am changed
Thank God I’m changed
