You Found Me...

The Fray - You Found Me

I found God
On the corner of first and Amistad
Where the west was all but won
All alone, smoking his last cigarette
I Said where you been, he said ask anything
Where were you?
When everything was falling apart
All my days were spent by the telephone
It never rang
And all I needed was a call
That never cameTo the corner of first and Amistad

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floorSurrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you?
Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me

In the end everyone ends up alone
Losing her, the only one who’s ever known
Who I am, who I’m not, who I want to be
No way to know how long she will be next to me

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floorSurrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me

Early morning,
City breaks
I’ve been calling for years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never send me no letters
You got some kind of nerve, taking all I want

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Where were you where were you
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me

Why’d you have to wait?
To find me, to find me


so i could be doing homework, but i decided that writting a blog would be time better spent.

this song by The Fray has really been on my heart lately, every time i listen to it, it gets to me. it just constantly reminds me of my story and i look back on my story as i listen to the song. God chose me, it is such a hard concept to wrap my head around. I didn't choose God, HE CHOSE ME.

thinking about that makes me feel soooooo loved, but at the same time it is unbelievable. to think of all the times i screwed up and the mistakes i made, i feel underserving to be chosen. but then i remember that it isn't up to me.

so that is what i think about when i hear the you found me part of the song...
but then the song moves into where were you...

this is completely home hitting for me, because after God finds us we wonder were He was during the times when we were lost and insecure. where was God when we were going down the wrong paths and taking wrong turns to make things even worse along the way. well the truth is God was there, He never left our side, and in the moments when we couldn't even carry ourselves, He carried us.

so to end this i want to leave you with a verse that was shared with me today by a very good friend of mine. the verse talks about even when we were God's enemy (meaning we didn't want anything to do with Him or we were displeasing Him) He still loved us, and sent Jesus, His son, to come and die for us, knowing how imperfect we would be. WOW. that just leaves me speechless and i hope that it leaves you speechless too!

Romans 5:10
"For it, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!"

the end. (peace)
