I’ve been listening to the new Rush of Fools album for the last couple of weeks, and I’ve really gotten into it. In particular, I’ve been listening to The Only Thing That’s Beautiful in Me. Look at these lyrics.
Just like the ocean wavesYou crash on meJust like a tidal waveYou ruin meJust like a hurricaneYou devastate ev’rythingthat needs to change
(And) You are the only thing that’s beautiful in meThat’s beautiful in meAnd You are the only thing that’s beautiful in meThat’s beautiful in me
Just like a mountain peakYou lift me upJust like a desert streamYou fill my cupAnd like a heart that beatsYou are the blood that covers meYou cover me
(And) You are the only thing that’s beautiful in meThat’s beautiful in meAnd You are the only thing that’s beautiful in meThat’s beautiful in me
And all I can say is thank YouThank YouAnd all I can say is thank YouLord thank YouAnd all I can say is thank YouThank You
This makes me think of Romans 8 where it says, However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit , if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you… If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Then follows the scripture I cling to, Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword…But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer though Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor delpth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
