Journal Entry 1/22 From Kristi

After saying goodnight to Zac last night, I went outside the hospital just in time to listen in on a song Spencer had written for Zac. Standing there, looking up at the light on in his room, I considered his accident and this journey we’ve been on. Spencer’s beautiful lyrics captured it so perfectly.

RESTORE

By Spencer for Zachary

Verse 1:

“Helpless I layed in the sea of Your wrath,

As the waters swept over my head.

Alone left to gaze and to cope, Forced to carry the weight of the choices I made.

Pre-chorus:

Then You drew me from that place,

Set me high upon a rock.

Chorus:

Now You are working to mend what's been severed,

Though I may not see it right now.

You are reaching to touch every part,

Though I may feel nothing at all.

This I know is true, and so I'll trust with confidence,

You're restoring my soul.

Verse 2:

I'm not who I was; I've been changed by Your grace,

And by grace I'm secured and sustained.

Called now to run and endure this race,

I hold fast to the promise You made.

Pre-chorus:

You have called me by Your name,

And I am Yours forever.

Chorus:

(And/As) You are working to mend what's been severed,

Though I may not see it right now.

You are reaching to touch every part,

Though I may feel nothing at all.

This I know is true, and so I'll trust with confidence,

You're restoring my soul.

Bridge:

I've never known comfort so deep,

I've never had joy so full,

I've never been more refreshed in my life,

(Lord) I'm diving into You.
