I love Bradley Hathaway

I do. I really do. But you will too. I don't remember if Eric or someone read this once or not... sorry if he did and I'm just being repetitious...

I went to Bradley Hathaway's show on Saturday in Ft. Collins, and it was AMAZING. I've seen him once before, read and heard some of his stuff and always liked it... but this show was really just an awesome, spiritual time. Really... it was a time of worship. it was a time of meditation, of reflection, of crying out to God, of celebrating His love... even just as I sat there in my chair and drank my hazelnut latte and closed my eyes and soaked in the words...

this is from his old cd... but he read it then, and i'd love to share it now.

Celebration Wedding

Bradley Hathaway

This is for the ones whose hope is falling
And you no longer hear your savior's calling.

This is for the ones whose backs are turning
And that passion-filled heart you once had has stopped burning.

This is for the ones abandoned.
Now all alone with no solace
and you think you're stranded.

This is for you empty, by life branded,
That had a vision that took leap, but it never landed.

This is for the ones who are plagued.
By those mysteries of life.
And you feel torn inside
by this mind of spirit and strife.

This is for the ones whose desire to do good is always outweighed
and you don't do as you should.

This is for the ones who mistakes are too many to count
and the guilt on your chest just continues to mount.

This is for the ones who have been done wrong by sins.
At the corrupted hands of perverted men.

Hold on.
HOLD ON!

Because soon will come the Celebration Wedding
and bundles of restoration will be our bedding.

Soon will come the Celebration Wedding
and bundles of restoration will be our bedding.

The trumpeter is taking a breath
The guests are taking their seats.
The Bride is putting on a veil.
The Father is making last-minute preparations.

There's Thousands Times Ten Thousand
angels waiting in holy expectation.

The readied groom is readied.

Soon will come the Celebration Wedding

If you are hurting, your hurt will cease.
If you are restless, you will find peace.
If you are empty, You will be filled.
All of these doubts, they'll be stilled.

If life for you is just to trying, Your tears will be dissipate.
There won't be anymore crying.
If the only thing you know is shame, you will be cleansed
and never again feel the same.

If you can't see straight.

foucus.
persevere.
And wait...
