This is What You Do

You bring people together.
You bring light and love to this world.
You fill me with joy.
You make me come alive.

I love this song, "This is What You Do" by Bethel Music. I was introduced to it by my roommate who was practicing praise with his praise team for his fellowship a few weeks ago. I joined in and learned a new song!

We sang this song to end off praise night this week and it was such a great song to end with. It definitely brought out a spirit of joyfulness when we sang this.

Lyrics:

It's always like springtime with You, making all things new
Your light is breaking through the dark
This love it is sweeter than wine
Bringing joy, bringing life
Your hope is rising like the dawn

This is what You do, this is what You do
You make me come alive
This is what You do, this is what You do
You make me come alive
This is what You do, this is what You do
You make me come alive
This is what You do, this is what You do
You make me come alive, You make me come alive
You make me come alive, You make me come alive

It's like I'm living for the first time
Finally living for the first time

It's Me

I keep doing things that upset other people then it upsets me.

Maybe I am still living my life wrong,
Caring about the wrong things,
Forgetting who I am,
Always thinking about who I need to be,
How I need to change.

But I do need to change,
To stop looking down on myself,
To take what people say lightly,
And not personally.
Maybe I just need to recuperate.

I feel like I'm not getting along with some people. Maybe I am just making it up and it's just me. It could just be stress. I am doing too much. I need to stop. I need to stop perceiving other people a certain way. Stop assuming I know them when maybe I really don't. Stop sleeping so late and thinking so much. I need to rest. I need to stop getting allergic/stress reactions. Pause. If I can't even make it through this without stressing out then there is something wrong. I need to prioritize. I need to time manage. I need to just do what needs to be done and let other people do what I do not need to do. I am not the solution. I cannot solve everyone's problems. That is not my job. My job is to sleep right now. Goodnight.
