Lily Among Thorns

So, God has begun a process in me. It started back a little over a month ago now, but at the time I didn't have as clear of a view of what he was doing, all I knew was that I wanted more of Him. God has been purifying me. You see His desire is to take the rags that used to be our life, and to cleanse us so we gleam with lily-whiteness. He wants to take the past hurts, the fears, the moments of disobedience, sinful thoughts/actions, and to put in their place His peace, comfort, joy, heart, mind, and soul. In realizing this I have found the true greatest love of all, and unlike a popular song it's not in learning to love yourself. The greatest love of all is found in our savior Jesus Christ. It is only in drawing near to Him and experiencing His eternal love that we can even possibly have any clue how to have earthly love. No one can love like Christ can, and no one can fulfill all the deepest desires of your heart like Christ can. Fall in love with Him first and foremost, and you will gleam with lily-whiteness among the thorns.

Purest Place- Watermark

Paint me with Your purity
That I'd attract Your majesty
When others boast in fame and gold
The purest place is where I'll go

Chorus:
The purest place I will draw near
Do what it takes to keep me here
In the center of Your heart
The purest place is where You are

It's not with masses, not with kings
Not in these songs, or offerings
Not in this life, or what it brings
The purest place is You my King

Chorus

Bridge:
If there's such thing as too beautiful
If there's such things as too wonderful
If there's such thing as too marvelous
Jesus it's You, Jesus it's You

Chorus

It's You my King,
It's You my King
The purest place, is You my King
