Far Beyond

I do not know why I just got emotional a few minutes ago, hunched, and sobbing over a song I have only heard once. Hearing, for the first time, the song that so much helped me reclaim the promise the Lord had once released, probably was a major factor. It isn't easy. In fact, I couldn't count the times how much I had been on my knees, and in tears, just to pray that God take away this restlessness this deceitful heart had urged me to swallow. I also couldn't count how many times I had been discouraged to the point of grumbling to God about the pace certain things were going.


I tell myself I'm barely near the defining moment, but sometimes, I just want to see what the ending looks like from here. Talk about being as impatient as a hungry pet cat. Most girls are like that, I believe. I just want to thank the Lord for people like the Ludys who minister to people who go through the same thing I (and most close friends I know) go through. When you battle with your heart, it's not a minor thing.

Far Beyond by Eric and Leslie Ludy

At the end of this post is the video of this song. Hope you listen along to it.

I hear it in a love song or see it on a movie screen

The kind of perfect love story

That I have always dreamed

Would somehow come into my life

And yet it seems so out of reach

It’s all I think about sometimes

Will I ever find a love that’s meant to be?

Maybe these thoughts seem foolish

To a holy God who made the sea and land

But you were the One who created

Love between a woman and a man

And deep inside I hear you say

You see all my hopes and fears

And if I give to You the pen of my life

You’ll write a tale that all heaven can cheer

Far beyond my deepest heart’s desire

Far beyond what I could ever dream

Far beyond my fairy tale imaginations

Is your perfect plan for me

There’s no limit to romance in all its beauty

When the Author of love shapes my destiny

Far beyond the most that I could long for

I will find the dreams you have dreamed for me

I could search forever

I could look for true love everywhere

If all my dreams were answered

They still could not compare

To the beauty of Your ways

And all Your plans for my life

‘cause You’ve been scripting out a story for me

Before the very foundations of time

It's beautiful, really, to just be assured of greater things. Far greater things. Far beyond.
