Into Your Mercy by Garth Bostic

I'm a path that's been beaten but no one walks
I've been looking for some answers but no one talks
I've done things I wish I couldn't remember
My God I need you to carry me...

Out of my prison and out of my chains
Out of my burdens and into your mercy
Out of my worries and out of my pain
Out of my fears and into your mercy
Out of my past and out of my shame
Out of my mourning and into your mercy
Into your mercy

I've got stains that nothing I try can get out
I've got hope but it's pulled by the weight of my doubt
But all my faults your grace will never remember
My God I'm free; you carry me...

Out of my prison and out of my chains
Out of my burdens and into your mercy
Out of my worries and out of my pain
Out of my fears and into your mercy
Out of my past and out of my shame
Out of my mourning and into your mercy
Into your mercy

You're the only one
Who is worthy to forgive
You're the only one
Who takes my end and then begins
You're the only one 
Who can set this hostage free
My God, I believe; and you carry me...

Out of my prison and out of my chains
Out of my burdens and into your mercy
Out of my worries and out of my pain
Out of my fears and into your mercy
Out of my past and out of my shame
Out of my mourning and into your mercy
Into your mercy

A Sample of My Dreams

You may have thought by the title of this post that I would be talking about the kind of dream that someone may have for the future. This post is actually about a dream I had last night. This is how it went...(note that everything in brackets is for the purpose of explanation, not part of the dream)

My boyfriend and I went to Petsmart just for fun and when we got there, my boyfriend decided that he would go off and do something else. I think he tried explaining to me what he was doing but I was too interested in the puppies to notice. In this box full of hay there were siberian huskie-german shepherd cross puppies! They were adorable (German shepherds are my favourite kind of dog and huskie is a close second)! Most of them looked like definite mixes but there was one pure siberian huskie and one pure german shepherd. The pure huskie was light grey with bright blue eyes and the pure german shepherd had brown eyes. I quickly called my Mom to ask her if I could have a puppy because they were free! I talked to my Mom and she agreed that I could have a puppy if I would pay the expenses for it (shots, food, care in general). Without a second to waste, I picked up the pure german shepherd puppy and headed around the store to find some puppy food. While walking, I checked and saw that my puppy was a girl. I tried to think of some names but none were good enough to stick yet. I probably walked the aisles in search of puppy food three or four times before I asked a young man for help. He assured me that he had re-stocked the puppy food a couple of days ago and he brought me to...puppy diapers. I was thinking about explaining that diapers are not food but I decided to try and find someone else. Eventually I gave up the search because of all the crazy brand names and packages that did not seem to make any sense. I went outside and found my boyfriend wearing a bright orange and yellow safety vest, putting carts away. I had no idea he worked there! I think he might have been volunteering. Anyways, I got my puppy. The End.

That is just a mild sample of my weird and wacky dreams :) hope you enjoyed it!
